We researched the schools before picking Lane & we were't disappointed. The teachers at Lane drive our children to be the best that they can be. They involve the parents in every aspect of their children's education. The parents who gave Lane poor ratings are probably the ones whose kid's are very diruptive

I, as an involved parent, have been welcomed to the school on many occasions to sit & observe or help the teachers & I have to say, most of the kids were very enthusiastic about learning. All I can say is that everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, it's best to refrain from giving a negative one without checking yourself or your kid(s). Learning starts at home. Children benefit greatly from having help & support at home as well as in school & Lane encourages both. Thanks Lane for driving our kids! Read less

I have been a teacher at Lane for 7 of my 12 years in education. My passion has always been for the heart of a child and Lane is a school where that is celebrated. While there is no such thing as a perfect school, Lane is as close as it gets! My fellow teachers and staff members are always looking

Faculty and staff members go above and beyond the call ,including evenings and weekends, to provide the best possible experience for students.

I hope to teach here for many years to come! Read less

LOL, I haven't been to this site sense July 2006 when I made the comment about moving to Macon and finding the right school for my children. Lane turned out not only to be the best school for my children, where all three have graduated from and are now in middle and high school; but I started working

The principal is awesome, she continues to push her staff to be and become the best they can be. She encourages them to take other education classes to better their skill. I am now in school to become a teacher, because I love my job so much and I hope to one day teach at Lane. Several papara's at Lane have went on to become teachers. The staff and students are like our second family. Read less

I love this school! My son went through K-5 here and loved every minute of it. At first I was nervous because his teacher looked really young, but Ms. Adams turned out to be a great teacher. I am amazed at the things my son has learned from her. I am sure she went above and beyond what she was required

I taught 3rd grade for 3 years(2003-2006) at Lane. I enjoyed working at a school where learning is number 1.

The purchase of our house in 2002 was based on finding the right school. Before moving to Macon, my husband and I did research on the internet. Lane Ele. was at the top of the list as far as test scores were concerned. Next we decide to tour the neighborhood in July, before contacting our agent. To our

The principal, Penny Smith actually remembered my childrens name when they started. I found out later that she knew all 450 students by name. Wow! I too was concerned about the no talking policy in the lunch room. The reason I was given was that when the noise level gets to high the lunch ladies can't hear and there are classrms 4ft away.

It seems though this school is a great disappointment. The teachers are very nonloving,don't want the students to be children and just enjoy learning. When your child has had almost four different teachers in one year, there is a problem. Every new teacher that came, quit. The students have no one

We are new to the school this year. Many of the rules and regulations (initiated by principal) give the school an almost 'military school' feel. Silence is demanded in almost every aspect of a child's day...silent lunch, silent restrooms, etc. When we questioned the principal we were told that children
