Sarah Milner Elementary School

Our school is approachable, welcoming, and inviting — we are truly a neighborhood school. We have great teachers and staff who work with our community partners and mentors to meet students' needs. We are data-driven and student-centered.

Our master schedule enables all staff to collaborate to better meet each student's needs. All students receive instruction in language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music, PE, computers, and library. We go above and beyond to meet each child's needs. Students love the playground.

LifeSpring Church, our next-door neighbor, works closely with us to provide the most for our kids and families, including Kids Hope Mentoring (32 mentorships); a Title I school with a strong technology focus; a culturally responsive leadership team; a No Place for Hate designation; and Breakfast in the Classroom for all students.
