What people are saying

Friday, August 17, 2012

The teachers in this school are excellent, and my two children have exceeded our expectations (and national test score standards) each year since Kindergarten at Providence. The facilities are new and well-kept, and the administration at the school (new for 2012) are energetic and focused on continued improvement. This school has a diverse student population, representing a wide geographical cross-section in the district. Each year, our the standardized test scores for our school are improving. School programs such as Art/Music, Library / Media, Computers and PE are excellent. I am pleased with the progress our children have made each year at this school, and we are enrolled for the 2012-13 school year. Most importantly, my children are excited for school to start.
