Fair. Lacy has a great reputation but much of that was built on a principal that retired years ago. There is too much parent involvement and certain parents have too much influence.

Lacy Elementary is a great school, and we have had a wonderful experience.

Children need a nurturing and safe environment to learn; I feel that this school(the school counselor is nice and approachable) is doing a great job in providing a good social and academic education to their students.

This is the last year my children will be at Lacy, and I am very happy. Yes, Lacy has clicks, but overall, it's a great school. Dr Grant is an excellent principal and there are plenty of parents who volunteer for everything. The Lacy foundation pays for teachers assistants, special classes like Spanish and technology in the classroom. Not perfect - no school is - but pretty close!

Beautiful school with an army of involved parents. Our first grade teacher and assistant teacher were AMAZING. I tear up each time I think about how I will never be able to thank them enough for being so wonderful. Very nice kids. The atmosphere is welcoming. Everyone makes eye contact, smiles and cares.

Parents beware....Communicaton between teacher and parent is horrible. Diversity training should be essential for some of the school staff. We had issues from the teacher disclosing personal student medical information to other classmates, underreporting of injuries on school grounds, not taking appropriate medical care/action of injured children. Parent input and concerns are totally ignored when it comes to your child. We've had reports from my kid about the teacher getting so angry that she would turn red (from a child's mouth). They used to love school, but by midyear, never wanted to go. Phone calls are not returned and/or ignored. The principal didn't seem to care. Should be reported for inappropriate behavior all the way around. We were told that this school was fabulous, but it is not true from our experience.We got a really bad teacher & unfortunately she left a lasting impression.
