by a parent
Sunday, May 10, 2015

I hand picked Southview out of the local elementary schools. The teachers and staff were standouts, the parental involvement is amazing and it is a very welcoming place. From the moment we stepped in the doors to look at it, it felt like home. It is not our assigned elementary school...I open enrolled and drive my children there every day. That is how much I value Southview. Close Quote
