Our Vision

Our vision is to create a high-achieving elementary school that makes considerable gains in student achievement each year. We recognize the role of technology, community resources, and school support for enabling all students to become lifelong learners.

Our Mission

Overbrook Elementary School is a child-centered and family oriented small learning community. Our goal is to provide our students with a solid elementary education as the basis for future learning and for model citizenship in the twenty-first century. We emphasize growth in academic and social skills. It is our desire to make each child feel protected, cared for, and respected as an individual.
