All three of my children attend here and I couldn't be happier. Simply the best elementary school. Principal knows all my children's names. Very helpful teachers and staff.

Although it's probably the best public Elementary School Clovis has to offer, it's still governed by the New Mexico educational standard, which is to say; poor at best.
