Vandora Springs Elementary School
I believe Vandora Springs is a hidden gem. The school has extremely low turnover of staff. Parents who transfer to another school many times are willing to drive their child in order for them to come back to Vandora. We consistently show growth on the standardized text. I get the feeling that the staff truly cares not only for the children but the families. There is a very active PTA that encourages the involvement of all students.

Amy: One thing I love about this school is the community involvement. They have an amazing group of parents and teachers who work hard to raise money, support the school and have fun. Their winter carnival is not to be missed-perhaps you can even volunteer if you're local? It's a fun time and raises much needed funds for the PTO.
