My son started kindergarten at LLE and is now in 1st grade and he absolutely loves it! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed by the warm and caring staff. The teachers are truly amazing, providing a nurturing and engaging learning environment that fosters both academic and personal growth.The school does a great job of making learning fun while also focusing on important skills like kindness, teamwork, and responsibility. My son is always excited to go to school and comes home eager to share what he learned that day. The communication between teachers and parents is also excellent, which gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands.We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Lacamas and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that prioritizes both education and student well-being!

This school is not perfect- none are. BUT (there is always a but) this school offers grace and compassion to kiddos who don't fit the "mold." They offer a place for children to come and be who they are and get the support that they need. yes there are some things that need adjusting- but it is a delicate balance and a seemingly impossible task to be placed on the shoulders of one person. The principal is transparent in her attempts to address all concerns from all families. The teachers really care about the students, the students seem to enjoy their teachers. YES- I will agree that our child has mentioned a "bully" but when discussed with the admin- they are very aware of the situation and are trying...TRYING to deal with it. Kids are challenging and even the ones labeled as a "bully" should be given some grace and support to help them.

Don't be fooled by the beautiful exterior of this school--because inside those pretty walls lies a world full of fear and chaos that no child should endure. Bullying is an every day occurrence and this school administration does nothing about it. Kids get hurt here on a regular basis, but nothing is done. If you care about your kid, don't send them here. Some serious changes need to happen right away.

I am so happy our kids have such a great place to learn! The principal knows how to run a wonderful school with excellent staff. We have a child on the autism spectrum and we wanted to find a place where we feel at home. I feel very blessed to have the wonderful staff around my children.

My high expectations have been exceeded with the staff and teachers. I have two children who attend. My child's teacher attends students' sports games just because she enjoys it! Where have you ever heard of that??? I love the emphasis on rewarding the children for and encouraging safe, respectful and responsible behavior. Excellent, excellent school. Whole grain, low-fat school menu, as well!

We moved here from out of state and have loved the school. The principal and staff are very friendly and professional. The teachers are great and the school itself is set in the most beautiful piece of land. The playground is surrounded with trees. It is the cutest school and constantly striving fro excellence
