Reviewed:

Two of my children attended this school and I really liked it. It is of course in a very safe area as it is located within the gated community of Fort Richardson. We were stationed on Fort Richardson twice and in both houses, the kids were able to walk to school as it was within walking distance. The kids seemed to really enjoy the school and the teachers always kept me involved with my children education. If you live on base I highly recommend having your chid attend this elementary school.
