J.C. Ellis Elementary School
5
We love the Spanish Immersion program. It also has a French Immersion program. The school is well run and has a principal who really cares about what's best for the kids. The teachers have always been available to talk about our children. The car pool line and communication leave a lot to be desired, inspite of those minors concerns, our children go to a great school.
