I have had the pleasure of working as a Special Education Instructional Aide for LAE for a year and a half and I can not recommend this school highly enough. I am also a parent of two elementary school kids that attend another school in the district and I can confidently say that LAE surpasses other schools in the district in all the ways that should matter. The principal and vice principal set the tone for the school. They are incredible people that create a warm and inviting atmosphere for students, staff, and families. I never once felt that they would not support me and I have never heard of any students being denied what they needed to feel successful. The special education department at LAE is also incredibly dedicated to the well-being of the students. I have worked with most of the staff at the school and I have consistently been impressed with their ability to manage each student's unique needs. I would highly recommend this school to any family.

My child attends kindergarten here. She is learning so much so quickly. Her teacher works closely with each student to teach each one at their level. Because of this my daughter is reading at a very advanced level. The teachers are amazing. The principal responds immediately to messages. Overall I absolutely love this school.

GR8 School. GR8 district. Definately one of the best grade schools in the county. Very proud of the staff and administration for their dedication to the kids. My boys started in transitional kindergarten and are now going into 4th and 5th grade. Every year they can't wait for school to start up again. We love LAE.

This is my first year at LAE. My other children have attended Rossmoor and Weaver. When you walk on campus everyone is friendly including the principal and the kids seem happy. I don't feel tension like the previous school attended. So far kindergarten has been a great experience. The PTA and Friends of LAE have a great group of volunteers. The education like at all Los Al schools are excellent.

My child attended LAE until from K-5 and enjoyed it. The teachers are wonderful and try to do everything possible for the children. I will agree that there are quite a bit of fund raisers; however, these fundraisers also contribute to the art programs, computer programs, and music programs that the school has (not all schools do). As for drop off/pick up comments; I agree that kids should be greeted but sometimes the parents are the issue. They do not pay attention to the rules or pull up to drop off their child in the proper spot, park or walk where they are putting children in danger! I have witnessed this firsthand. The school scored 10/10 when compared to other schools and this is the reason why many people choose to drive long distances to bring their child to this school!

Great school! Mrs. Walter's is the best. She's organized, structured, has well focused lessons and appropriate goals for the students. My son loves the computer lab and JIJI program too. I do agree with the other parent about the drop off lady being not so friendly.

I went to this school from grades 3-5. It was a great experience. It really helped me grow. I loved the entire experience at LAE. It really was the place to be. It was always a good time and the teachers were always caring and they always want you to keep learning. It was easy to make friends and it helped me grow from a shy child to an outgoing one. This is a fantastic school to start your roots from.

My entire family has attended LAE. Presently, there is only one person on campus that I am not very fond of. Every morning I get my child prepared for the day mentally and physically. When I bring my child to school, this particular staff member barks at parents and their children as they get out of their cars. This does not help these kids and starts their day off on a negative note every day. I feel that our kids should be greeted with a "hello" and a smile, not a rude staff member yekking and slamming car doors. I would have given 5 stars for teacher quality but this staff member (who I assume is an aid or noon duty worker) is overwhelming and rude on a consistant basis. If it wans't for this staff member, I would have given LAE 5 stars in all categories.
