Chester H Thompson Elementary School
Brittney: My daughter will start in September but I called to enroll her and am excited for the school year to begin. The staff was knowledgeable and took the time in helping me figure everything out without me feeling rushed or having a bad feeling about my daughter going to a new public school. I am now comfortable and excited for my daughter to start her new school. :)
