My children attend Wallburg Elem., one a rising fifth-grader, one in Kindergarten last year. It's a great school, and this is coming from someone who spent 4 years, 7th-10th, in private school. I never thought (and really still don't) a public school could be better than a private school, but Wallburg Elem. is at least comparable. Close Quote
