We loved virtually everything about Flippen. We are in the military and have been to four different school districts over the years. Flippen is fabulous; we really hated to leave. Flippen has the resources to accommodate every child's current level and help them excel. As far as I am aware, discipline is a non-issue. The administration makes it convenient for parents to be as involved as they want to be. The teachers are dedicated and actually enjoy teaching there. The expectations are high and the results are even higher. Close Quote
