My daughter attended this school pre k through 2nd grade and she is transferring to a new school the upcoming year because this school did not help her. My daughter is at a kindergarten reading level and as much as I try to help her I felt her school wasn't doing enough for her. There are after school programs available but she did not "qualify" for them because she was way under her reading level. Those programs are for students almost meeting there reading level. So they basically forget about the rest. Every child should be entitled to extra help if needed. I hope my daughter recieve a better education a her new school.

Mrs. Espinoza is a was the kindest and most helpful human being. When I was looking for a little extra help with my daughter she was amazing in working with us and the Lighthouse vision clinic. I would love to thank Mr. Harris for helping my daughter so much and Mr. G for being the greatest computer teacher. All these teachers deserve the credit for all their hard work and dedication with so much passion for what they do on a daily basis!

Its sad to see an excellent teacher (Miss Alvarez) struggle to teach her kids. There are many students in her classroom that need help but the administration seems to not bother with it. Its easier to sweep things underneath the rug. Miss Alvarez and Ms. Sheela are really fantastic teachers and deserve ALOT better than what they have been given. It seems as though that even in the past this school can not get a good Principal. What is wrong with CPS?

During the 2001-2003 school year semesters, I attended Lloyd Elementary as a 4th and 5th grader. Now, I am 20 years old and I still recall the academic programs this school provided for the students. As a whole, this school was viewed to me as a social gathering rather than an academic enhancer. I enjoyed meeting the friends I did, but as a school, I did not learn much. It was only after I moved out of that area that I was able to read, write, and learn in a profound manner. Students who attend in your children's school truly does affect the way they learn. I suggest you give your children an extra helping hand and enroll them in an after school program or a tutor. Students learn better if they know they are good at it!

I feel the principal at this school DOES NOT treat the staff nor the parents with any respect.

This used to be a better school, but the principal changed a few years ago. Now there is a new principal and he has been mean to the good teachers and community. This man is from New York and knows nothing about Chicago or the students here. He is arrogant and does not care about the kids. He speaks some Spanish, but he still doesn't know how to relate to the families and people in the neighborhood. Now the good experienced teachers all leaving. The teachers that are left are not happy. The principal hired all new teachers who do not know anything about the neighborhood or the people in the community. And the kids test scores are going down too. The principal is a poor leader. He is never in the office when you want to speak to him. He has the secretary talk to you instead. The LSC and CPS needs to get rid of this principal. This school needs a better principal so it can improve. Right now it is below average because of him.
