At Ellis we soar toward excellence in academics and character development. We celebrate our mistakes because that is when we do our best learning. We value our diversity because we believe it makes us a stronger community. Every child has the right to define, pursue and achieve their dreams and we are committed to supporting each other to make that a reality for every student at Ellis. We serve students in ECE (3 and 4-year-olds) through fifth-grade providing instruction in English, as well as Spanish for our native Spanish speakers. We offer free after-school Discovery Link programming and enrichments.
