The principal does not know how to handle situations. Mr. Anderson is a bully to students. Students can be bullies and it's not handled in the right manner.

When Plainfield re-drew its district lines, we were forced to leave Lincoln Elementary and go to Lakewood Falls. This concerned us, because we loved the highly-skilled, charismatic teachers of Lincoln, who really made learning fun. Also, Lakewood Falls ranked "4" at the time, which worried us.We became relieved when we met the teachers. They are as skilled, caring, and dedicated as the teachers at Lincoln.One of my daughters had an issue with bullying reported to the office by a friend. The issue was squelched before the day was over, and we were contacted by her teacher who offered to help. My other daughter has some difficulty reading, and instead of just pushing her along, her teacher informed us of this problem, advised us on what we can do to help at home, and assigned her to a reading group to help with the progress.While more students in class are a bit more disruptive, and put in less effort than most students at Lincoln...forcing teachers to focus more on the students who want to learn, (that is, students with parents who enforce education.) This is likely why Lakewood Falls gets a lower score. But, if you are a parent who emphasizes the importance of education, (and if you're on this website, you probably are!) you have nothing to worry about with this school.The Lakewood Falls teachers are excellent.
