I have put four children through LES. half way through our principle changed and i was concerned- as filling principal harris's shoes was going to be hard; he was so amazing. but mr palmer did it! i loved how he knew all the childrens names by heart withiin a few weeks. i don't think any school is perfect, but this one would be close. every one on staff is caring and attentive. they have a "PAL" program for parents to volunteer at the school. so you can be as involved there as you would like. i eat lunch with my kids at least once a week and they are welcoming. their educational standards for excellence are high, as well as what they expect from a well mannered, caring child. its not just about education here. they help teach the children respect, honor, friendship, manners and virtue.

I am really happy with the school, teachers, principal, supporting staff. The kids work really hard at school and the homework load is appropriate. There is also a great community spirit and kids are taught wonderful values such as respect. One of my child is on an IEP and I am happy with the support he is getting. The only minor thing I am not crazy about: in some classes, children are given too much candy as a reward for good work or behavior.

I have lived in and around many cities in Johnson County for many years. I have been in several Olathe, Shawnee Mission, and Blue Valley schools. Whilst I can say positive things about all of the schools my children have attended, I am most pleased with the caring, commited, and professional atmosphere I have withnessed at Leawood. No school is perfect, but Leawood comes very close. This school handles it's responsibilities well and when a concern is brought to their attention it is handled with efficiency and care. I have been very pleased by my interactions with staff, both classroom teachers and other support staff. The secretaries are knowlegeable and welcoming. The principal is new (as of 2010) and seems to be very organized and on the ball. My children's 1st and 4th grade experience has been wonderful. I really feel that they are being prepared for the future.
