christina mcgregor: I have a first grader at Sheilds and she loves it. We had a less than pleasant experience with our last school. The teachers staff and kids at this schoolare over the top. If you want a caring learning experience for your kids and with teachers that WILL help them to succeed Sheilds is where you want to go.
