I am so pleased with Spencer Co. County elementary. All the teachers and staff have went above and beyond to make sure my baby had everything he needed to succeed in his next journey in life and nit just educational but developmental as well even taken time to give 1 in 1 assistance in needed areas. I am a single mother and mire than once these guys have filled in whrn timr wouldnt allow me to do so. They treat you like family and students are focused on learning not stereotypical or material things as Ive seen with schools in the city. Thank You Spencer County for helping my kid become the best be can be!! U guys are the gr8st!!! Close Quote
