Spencer Loomis has been a vibrate learning source for my three daughters. The teaching staff is very child-centric and provides a calm and rich learning environment. I have found the teachers and administrators to be caring and eager to provide any special service and resources to foster the best learning experiences for their students. The Special Ed Resources teacher is experienced and creative in her approach, relating well to students and parents alike. My Special Ed student feels that his teacher's strategies have helped him become a better reader and makes him feel more positive about himself and his capabilities. Close Quote

This school is amazing! From the teachers to the principal and admin people, to the activities and PTO folks, all are top notch people. Everyone goes beyond the necessary or expected degree of being friendly, welcoming and helpful. I've moved four times in the past 10 years and my three kids have been in four schools, including two private. This school outshines all of them. My kids are so happy and that means mama's happy! Most importantly, they are doing so well academically. Close Quote
