Athena Elementary School
Athena Elementary school is a great school. All of my children have gone to Athena. The teachers are wonderful and easy to communicate with. The secretaries know everyone and are always helping parents. I have friends that complain about the teachers at their childrens school and I tell them that I don't have to worry about that at Athena.
