We absolutely love having our kids at this school! The staff is amazing, and because the school is smaller than some of the area schools, all of the students get the extra help or extra push they need. I love the community of our school--everyone from administration to each teacher encounter we've had a loving and wonderful experience. The school works hard to provide tools to its teachers to work with each child at their level. While the school building is one of the oldest in the area, that adds to its charm and does not take away from the education provided within the walls! Technology is everywhere inside (3rd grade and above have a 1:1 ratio for chrome books!). The smaller class sizes are a plus, of course! The school is clean, bright, and a happy place to be! I cannot recommend this school enough!

My children have been attending Lagrange since early this year (2011). I have not been happy with my older child's teacher (4th grade) since we moved here. Recently the teacher has been bullying my child in front of the other students. She thinks it is appropriate to allow my son to go without snack while the other kids get their snack. She has also asked the other students in class if my son should be allowed to do things. This teacher needs to be fired because she obviously doesn't know how to run her classroom appropriately. When I talked to her on the phone she had the nerve to tell me how to parent my child! My younger child started the 1st grade this fall. There was a shortage of 1st grade teachers this year so they hired a new teacher. This new teacher is a great guy but he is from Ecuador and his English speaking skills are not good enough to be teaching first graders who are still learning how to speak properly themselves. My son already has speech issues so having a teacher that can't speak clear English is not good for him. Overall I am very displeased with Lagrange Elementary and I will be removing my children from the school as soon as I meet with the principal.

My daughter is in 3rd Grade at La Grange Elementary. We are very pleased with her education and could not ask for a better school!! I am amazed at how many hours the teachers put in, espeically outside of school. (This includes weekends and summers!) They are very dedicated and I must say that I have never seen a group of people work harder in their profession than these teachers do! You will not find a group of people that care more for students than Dr. Finch and the teachers at La Grange Elementary.
