Absolutely love Milford Elementary staff and student body!

My children absolutely love this school! Since the day my oldest has started, we have had nothing but wonderful things to say about the curriculum and the staff. They are very personable and know each and every child that walks through the door. It's a very family oriented environment and I only hope that we are in the same school district when my youngest child begins school.
My oldest started out in a different school in Junction City, and I didn't realize how much information I WASN'T getting from that school until we transferred to Milford.
Thank you to the wonderful staff and volunteers that make this school great!
