Summer is coming to an end.  Teachers are back in their classrooms preparing for yet another eventful year.  Each year is full of new children, new experiences, and new expectations.  Children are home dreading the early hours, longs days, and nights full of homework.  Living in Eastern Madera County we are fortunate to have wonderful area schools.  Coarsegold’s Rivergold and Coarsegold Elementary are terrific schools with high achievement scores.  Oakhurst Elementary School and Oak Creek Intermediate are both wonderful schools.  In addition, Ahwahnee’s Wasuma School and Bass Lake’s elementary school are also terrific schools that display high achievement scores.  As the school year begins, feel fortunate knowing that your child will attend a school with qualified teachers, low classroom ratios, and where achievement is highly valued.
