Open Quote We have been at Field Elementary for three years and really enjoy it! The main reason we are there is because it is our neighborhood school and can easily walk to it. Also, the teachers were a HUGE factor in our decision. They are fantastic and really care about the students and their performance without getting too intense about standardized testing. The administration has an open door policy and is very willing to listen to comments and suggestions.

While the school may not have all of the bells and whistles of the more privileged schools, they have Recipes for Success, Writers in the Schools, an incredible music program, an established Gifted and Talented program and very dedicated staff. It's definitely the school for us! Close Quote
