Peter Howell has the best teachers and principal ever! I got custody of my great granddaughter last year who had hardly attended school. She is in the first grade. The staff at Peter Howell has worked with her so diligently to catch her up in reading.

All three of my children went here and during there enrollment I become VERY ill and the whole school dedicated so much time to helping with so many things, the teachers were there for my children sense they were having so many issues with me being sick. Over all EVERYONE in that school is excellent including the office and the nurse. It really pained me and my children to have to move and them no longer go to that school. I would suggest this school for every award everything and if need be would speak on there behalf ....

Both of my children have gone to this school and while the old principal was here, nothing could have been better. Now that the new principal is in, everything has gone downhill. I will not be enrolling my child back in this school.

This school is great! The teachers at Howell are the best in the district! They are very dedicated to the most rigorous, researched based curriculum possible. All teachers have attended training in Understanding by Design and Arts Integration. As an OMA GOLD school, all teachers work to use art daily in their classrooms. Each grade has a special art focus. This school is working hard to improve the image of public education!
