My daughter attends Abbott. She is in honors Geometry and challenge English. From the moment we walked in the door at Abbott, the staff treated her as if she mattered. And that respect and enjoyment of children has shined through ever since. Plus, my daughter's ISAT and MAP's scores are continuing to be in the very top percentiles (nationally), so we know that the instruction is meeting her academic needs. Finally and just as importantly, my daughter richly enjoys school each and every day.

This is a wonderful school. The teachers have high expectations, yet most of them also seem concerned with the development of the "whole child." Abbott is a small school and it's smallness is an advantage in offering students many individualized opportunities to excel.
