Monday, September 24, 2012

The hempfield school district does a great job of preparing kids. We have one in 6th grade taking pre-algebra and one who just graduated and is attending a top tier liberal arts college. We moved to this school district from a rival district in the Lancaster area 7 years ago. The other district also gets rated very high, but we must say we like the way hempfield educated our kids much better Close Quote
