School is so small! The school cant support how much this area has grown. The gym is the size of a regular classroom and parking is almost non existent.

I was a student of Armel from 00-06. I'm 25 now and the teachers that still work there from when I was there still know me by name and will have a conversation with me everytime I see them. This school truly made an impact on me. I still love the school to this day. My elementary experience was far superior to my middle and high school experiences.

Armel is a good school for Elementary age children. They have great quality teachers, and the administrative staff is always welcoming and helpful to parents. They are organized and proved it on their Back to School Night. Best of all, as a parent, I am thrilled with the new security system they are installing at the entrance of the school (intercom, video camera and double door system), which will enhance the safety of all. The school also welcomes Parent's involvement, is looking for volunteers and we receive regular letters from the Principal. This is my daughter's first year of school (Kindergartner) and she loves school so much that she is sad not to attend on the weekends! This is exactly the type of experience every kid should feel. A love and excitement for education. Good job Armel!

I have a kindergartener at Armel and he loves going to school each day. I am very happy with the progress he has made. I think the curriculum is challenging yet fun too.
