Gard Elementary School

This school is made up of a very diverse group of students for such a small rural area. There is the option of having your child in dual language classes (where they learn in 50% English and 50% Spanish) or English only in grades Pre-K thru 6th. This school district lacks in technology, but still offers the a great education.

Mrs. Judy Ross: I read about the school's greenhouse. What a wonderfyl idea! Every school should have one. Kudos for putting the health of the children above all else!
