Idlewood Elementary School
My child used to attend Idlewood from K - 2 and I loved all of her teachers. All of them went the extra mile to ensure my cild was proided with a solid education. I found the principal atthis school to begreat as well, she worked hard to improve the school. I must agree with Tonya comment about the front office. They are very disorganized and are not attentive to the parent that come to the office. Overall, I believe that if you are actively involved in your child's school you will get better results.
