Parent of a Pre-K student here. Our child loves attending this school. The staff care about the students deeply, and families are very engaged and involved. There are a number of programs for students and parents to participate in. Academic and social-emotional support is wonderful. We particularity love the library staff members!

discrimination does not cover it. Office staff is horrible.

We could not be happier with the experience we have had at Ralph Langley Elementary School.

Awesome One of the schools with the best teachers with the least amount of racism.

We have been with this school for three years. It is an amazing school that truly welcomes your children and you. I do not know of many schools who encourage a relationship with the parent as much as the student. They believe in working together to give your child a fulfilling educational environment. The staff tries to know every student's name and the administrators are outside before and after school greeting everyone. The teacher to student ratio is low, allowing one on one time for your child if needed. And special focus classes are offered for students who need a little extra attention or are gifted. There are a variety of after school programs (chess club, Lego club, music and art programs, etc...) offered to help students experience a variety of hobbies. A downside though is that there is not a consistent nurse assigned to the school. They seem to rotate with other schools. And I wish they would offer to two recesses a day instead of one. There is so much value loss with only one. Other than that I feel this school truly values your child's education and success.

We've had a great experience with the administrators. They were both very present and responsive. The front office staff is not friendly and will ignore parents who walk in. They will look at you and wait for you to greet them. My child had a wonderful, proactive teacher. This year was the first school dance. They had a great turn out. Upon walking in with my excited child, we overheard teachers complaining about being there. Wished they could have waited until they were off duty to gripe, it was a fundraiser after all.

My kids is in this school. The teacher takes to long to update Parent Connection. She doesn't send back tests home, so we can know where our child is in school. Sadly, the teacher is very disorganized. This has been happening for more than a year, meaning the school needs a better direction. This has been happening for Fourth and Fifth grade.

I like the staff at the school, they are nice and helpful. My only concern is my 5th grader who is very bright. I would like the 5th grade to be more challenging, I would like more homework and more work showing assignments in folder and binder.

My children attend Langley and they absolutely love it. The teachers are awesome, the food they serve in the cafeteria for breakfast and lunch is very good, the principal is always ready to help and so is the assistant principal. The administration staff is wonderful, they answer questions and help with issues. I would always recommend this elementary school! 5 stars!!!

I am new to this school and area. I have had a few problems with the front desk help getting simple questions answered and also with politeness.

Our son has attended K and 1st grade at Langley Elementary. We have been very pleased with the school. The principal is very kind to the children and visible for parents. All the parents we speak to are pleased with the teachers, they are all passionate about their job and the kids seem to enjoy this school.

My daughter started kindergarten this year and so far I am very pleased with her progress. I am thankful for a great teacher who has the knowledge and patience to teach our younger children. Looking forward to the rest of the school year!

Langley Elementary is an incredibly excellent school. My son transferred there in the middle of the school year and the teachers really worked with him to get him up to par. The teachers are very motivated to help children learn and I am very grateful they took the time to work with my son. Quality education is of paramount concern for the staff and it greatly shows.

Brand new school entering it's second school year. Teachers are very motivated and strive for parent involvement. Last year all three of our children went there and each of them were challenged and motivated.
