This school has strong leadership, skilled teachers, and offers more challenging work for kids who need more. Each classroom has five mini computers that the children can work on their math facts at whatever level that child is on. Strong accelerated reader program that starts in kindergarten. Very open and welcoming to parent involvement. It is a small school in that it is k-2nd grade. It is fun! Both my kids have loved UHE! Close Quote
