Harrington Waddell Elementary School

Our family has enjoyed our elementary school experience--one child has "graduated"; the other is completing the 5th grade. The staff does a wonderful job of matching student and teacher personalities when deciding classroom rosters. My one complaint is that class sizes have been increasing over the years. Our first child had class sizes around 17. Our second child regularly has 20-22 students per class. The music/band and art departments do amazing work with our children. I am impressed the work/skills my children complete under the direction of these teachers. Various enrichment activities are planned/offered each semester. The PTA is fabulous!
