Garfield Elementary The teachers are extremely committed, and engage the children to learn in a friendly atmosphere. We are very happy to have our daughter enrolled here. We moved from back east last year.

I must say Garfield is an AMAZING school! The staff and teachers at this school are extremely dedicated to their students. My daughters have excelled academically since attending Garfield. Mr. Mosler and Mr. Hochman are amazing teachers! I am one proud Garfield parent! My son will definitely attend Garfield next year too.

My son has been at Garfield for Kindergarten and First grade and will be attending next year as he heads into the Second grade. I will admit I had concerns about the school when we enrolled him for Kindergarten but I couldn't be any more happier. He has excelled socially and academically. The teachers, administration and Mr. Dale, the principal, have done an amazing job raising test scores and the integrity of this school. Their pride for their school and the children in this community really shows. We were also fortunate enough to be a part of the Prime Time program, before and after school care, run by the local YMCA. The Prime Time program and staff are also amazing and the children are given many opportunities to shine in all aspects of life. We recently ended up moving out of the area and we had to Choice in for the next year. Although I spend an additional 20-30 minutes commuting, IT IS WORTH IT TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL AND SEE THE JOY/COMFORT IT GIVES MY SON. I seriously recommend you check out the school for yourself.
