Overcrowded, overcrowded, overcrowded. We have 23-25 students per teacher. And more trailers than I can count. I am guessing 30 trailers. Every ounce of extra grass room is filled with a trailer. Teachers are fantastic, but they should not have to deal with 25 kids per class. They do the best

The school scores well on standardized testing, because the teachers put forth such a great effort. Think twice about moving to the Luella community. It is way over crowded. Read less

My son began LES during his 1st grade yr. I was nervous as he was in priv school for Pre-K & K, & as he is diagnosed with Autism. He's made many gains in this school. Even I was amazed! The teachers have all cared about him like he was their own. Our plan was to leave him in for 1 yr so that he was eligable

He's in 2nd grade now, & still doing well in the typical classroom. He has issues but the teachers have accepted him & gone the extra mile to ensure he gets the edu that he deserves. I'm impressed as I, until now, had very little faith in the public schools. Highly recommend! Read less

What is the saying? You get out of something what you put into it? Personally I am in and out of the school often. Yes the school is overcrowded but that was something no one could predict. As it happened it was dealt with. ANY parent is welcome at any time. I personally have witnessed the tears

Everything is not posted in a newsletter but if you want to see real accomplishments from real students, staff giving free time to tutor or encourage, feeding the hungry and clothing the needy then drop by LES. It is a place with heart that goes beyond the test and the textbook. It is a place where everyone belongs and credit is givevn to the entire staff. Read less

All three of my children have attended Luella Elementary. I have been more than pleased with their education. It is hard for me to read some of the reviews on this website and believe they are speaking of the same school that all three of my children have attended. My second child is in fourth grade

The administration is constantly looking for ways to help the children. I am touched by Dr. Wolfe's love for the children. She uses her personal time to reach out to the children such as attending extracurricular activities (Nutcracker performance, games, etc.). Thank you for caring for the children! Read less

The teachers that my child had were great. However, administrative staff was less than what I had expected from LES. There are some issues with diversity at this school.

I have had a son attending Luella since kindergarten. He has an awesome teacher this year in second grade (Lynn Whitworth) and his teachers in kindergarten and first grade were very good as well. He has felt comfortable and secure at this school. Since much of the school population was rerouted to

It is growing so rapidly around here, though. It does worry me that the school ratings go down considerably at Middle and High school levels here in this zone. All of that aside, Dr. Wolfe has done a great job with the high numbers of students before the new school opened. It has to be very challenging to try and meet all of the families needs. Read less
