Divide Elementary School
Tersa: I absolutely love Divide Elementary. This school lives up to its reputation of being one of the top schools in this area. We transferred our son to this school despite living in another district and despite having to drive a little farther. It has been worth every effort. I cannot say enough about our wonderful principal who goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is involved in every aspect of my child's schooling from helping educate and energize the kids first thing in the morning, to helping with lunch and encouraging the kids to eat, to saying goodbye to each student in the evening and everything in between...nevermind all the regular duties of a principal that he manages to keep up with. He does NOT sit in his office all day like others I've seen, but rather is a wonderful presence throughout the school. My son's teacher is amazing and also goes above and beyond. He has loved her since day one and has learned more than I ever expected and at a great pace. She is great at communicating my son's progress and needs and is available to us as parents. My son is getting a GREAT start in his education!!
