Open Quote Coming from District 150 in Peoria to District 50 has been a blessing! The faculty at this school is totally dedicated to help your child perform their best. I really have nothing bad to say about this particular school. They have helped my child so much with reading that I can't thank them enough! My son went from being a D average student in Peoria to a A/B student in Washington. Thanks so much JLH! My son loves school now! Close Quote
