Amazing that some of the reviews below are allowed to stay… if your child has a truancy issue, they are required by law to address it- sounds like that person had been avoiding all communication from the school so the principal had to step in… for the review indicating that there is poor communication between teachers and parents on test dates and content, they clearly aren’t using the technology tools available to them (class dojo) or reading the teacher’s weekly status reports… sounds like the issue is your son not bringing information home and not an issue with his teacher. Also, one of the main goals of school is to grow our children into responsible members of society. If the parent is the one managing the child’s schedule and reminding every time there is a test, that child will never learn to take responsibility and the consequences of not being accountable.My family’s experience with LES has been completely different from these reviews. Every concern I have raised has been met with professionalism and accountability. The teachers have been phenomenal. Communication comes home weekly and there is an envelope you must sign acknowledging the receipt of the communication. The principal posts at least monthly on upcoming events and school wide initiatives. They are intentional about creating a nurturing and welcoming environment for all students. I can’t say enough positives about this school and it’s administration.Also, school was torn down and rebuilt in 2018 (I believe), so the reviews about the building being run down are out of date.

Well it happened again today I went all the through the car line . First the gym teacher did not call for my granddaughter. When I got up to where my granddaughter should have got in the car with a letter that other children were handed before they got in there cars. The principal who knew who I was walked up very arrogant handed me the letter and said with a bad attitude and mask down and closer then six feet told me that I needed to account for absences and when she did not get the reaction she wanted she then went and got my granddaughter. It was very childish of them and I feel like they are trying to provoke me.

Very poor, as a parent. My limited interaction with teachers has been positive, but every single interaction with administration is a nightmare.

This school is fantastic. The building is dated, but they are in process of building a new one.

My daughter has been at this school since kindergarten and is finishing up 5th grade. My other daughter just started this year. I have been very happy with the school. We have had some minor issues come up over the years, but all have been worked out to my satisfaction. Good cooperation from teachers and administration.

Below standard. Principal does a minimal job at best. Some teachers are better than others.

I am not at all happy with the curriculum or the quality of teachers they have. Not that some of the teachers aren't good. They did have one teacher win an award. I don't think the principal will be winning any awards though. The principal is responsible for the overall well being of the school and I feel the school has been let down. The school has potential but they don't seem to be seeking it.
