Test scores alone do not tell the whole story! Kelly is a gem in the rough. This review page left out something important: Kelly has one of the few elementary Russian Immersion programs in the country! Do you want your child to thoroughly learn an important foreign language, spoken in the largest country on earth with rising economic power? Then enroll them in Kelly starting in kindergarten!
