Felton Laboratory is a school where instruction is stressed and provided for every ability level. Class sizes are small and designed that way so that every child is reached academically and socially. The students are well-behaved and extremely cordial.

This school has really good teachers, but the children are TERRIBLE. They are not receptive to new students. Many fo the students are bullies and have tunnel vision. Many of the students curse and use sexually explicit terms. The administration, teachers and parents are all in a cliche where nothing happens to the children who break rules because they have to keep the school open and one hand washes another. The adults aree either is in a social group together or attend the same church. If you want your child bullied and you wanna explain sexually explicit term to your young, innocent child take them to Felton. The positives definitely do not outweigh the minuses in the elementary school. . I regret taking my children there. It is not the Felton of the 80s or 90s

Well, Dr. Leaphart does not return calls from people who want to help out. Not even calls from parents. I know parents who are pulling their hair out because she never gets back to them. Dr. Leaphart's voice mail box is always full. Otherwise, she is doing a wonderful job. I wonder who supervises her. I would love to have a chat with that person.

This school stands out for me because of the small class sizes and the more personalized experience that students receive. However, I have observed several teachers that were below standard and did not appear to know how to deal with children, behaviorally, or teach them academically. I would say that teachers need more training in their content areas. They have increased their student activities although. I believe they need to do more for upper level students (i.e., a football team). I have nothing bad to say about the principal other than she did not return any of my phone calls during the year. I am not sure about her leadership skills. A good place for students that need smaller class sizes.
