The staff at this school is very unprofessional!Mistreated a special needs child and this is absolutely unacceptable. They should be embarrassed of themselves! Special needs children need to be treated the same as any other kid! #justiceforZain

Children are allowed to disrupt classes. Administrators are not consistent with the handling of students behavior.

My daughter has attended LGS for 2 years already and we are very pleased with the quality of education she is receiving. She had a wonderful dedicated kinder teacher that taught her to read well above grade level, excell in math and writing and most important to enjoy learning. My daughter wakes up daily eager to go to school and comes home eager to share what she learned. Even though she's just in 1st grade, she already talks about attending a university when she grows up. All I can say is tat LGS has high expectations for their students and teachers and I plan to keep my daughter there.

My school is wonderful. The staff there is very caring and all about the students. I can see where the school has grown in a lot of ways. We have a youth leadership program, Parents that want to volunteer and teachers with open arms. Our staff is there to answer questions and help all students even the ones who are struggling. I think this year we will see a lot of improvements for our education.

Both of my children attend this school. I adore it. The teachers work so well with the parents. Anytime I have had an issue, it's been addressed promptly and professionally. The teachers are amazing-I watched my youngest go from no confidence at all to being proud he can read so well. I recommend this school to anybody.
