When we were looking for a home years ago we were looking for one that was in a good school district. We were so lucky to have found a home near Alpine Crest. We love this school. It is small enough that the classrooms don't have too many children and the teachers ALL of the teachers, are wonderful!!!!! I had my son there who is 10 and now my 6 year old. Close Quote
