Franconia Elementary School

Bob: My daughter is about to go into 1st Grade. She attended Franconia Elementary for Kindergarten, and we love everything about the school. The front office personnel is excellent. The Principal, Ms. Dade, is as well. Her teacher was Ms. Owens, and you cannot find a better teacher. We were so impressed. On top of it all, they have totally remodeled the school, and it is quite modern and state-of-the-art.
