What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, January 21, 2011

Tanglewood has some of the finest teachers in Robeson county. They have a very active PTA. Parent involvement is very high. If your child attends there be ready to be involved in some way. It is a very caring and nurturing environment. They have the highest attendance and they are a school of distinction. All 3 of my girls attended this elementary school, one is graduating from college, one has been accepted to NC state with honors, and the other is flourishing in high school. No doubt it is due to the basic education they received at Tanglewood Elementary School Close Quote
