I have a 1st grader at LAE. I am extremely pleased with the educational values at this school. My son has improved academically as well as behavior wise.

I have had children to attend Lewis Academy of Excellence. I became weary of trying to get answers. It is truly a fact that if the head is not intact then what more can you expect from the body. At the end of the last school year we decided to not return to this school but with the issues arising with

A school that practices excellence should show just that. it appears to me that this school along with it's CEO is for show purposes only. It is something with an administration that has so much teacher turnover. You can count the number of returning staff on one hand. We were there in the beginning and none of my children's teachers have returned. There is a problem there. Move now. Read less

My child attends but I too must admit the communication to the parents needs much inprovement. I've written and e-mailed the school with valid concerns regarding my child's progress and I have yet to get a response.

If they get it ok, if not they will miss out because the 4th grade team of teachers are just not willing to go the extra mile and be proactive in ensuring your child is recieving the materials necessary to study. Frankly, I tired of trying and looking for another school. Read less

The new facility and teacher dedication are excellent. However, the total disregard of the director to communicate with parents is far from admirable. As a requirement for enrollment, parents are required to commit to volunteer a certain number of hours per school year. I believe most parents have
... Read more no problem in doing so. But attempting to communicate with the director to discuss matters that would be advantageous to the school and to the benefit of the students (i.e. fundraising), requests are ignored. However, when it comes to needing money for field trips, assembly programs, etc., there is no hesitation coming to the parents. This school would be excellent but administrative changes have to be made. Read less

I am very proud of the strides that LAE has made with enhancing an already superior academic program. The teachers are dedicated and seem to be genuinely interested in the development of each individual student. LAE has added band, BETA Club, and other extracurricular activities as promised with more

My job does not allow me to be at the school physically as much as I would like but I call and send notes to communicate.

Communication and organization are still barriers but I am confident that with more support from parents, the school board and the community we can move those barriers. Read less

I am very pleased with the academics at LAE. I have to children who attends there. One of my children have a learning disability, he is getting the help unlike the county school.

My family and I are very pleased with LAE, in fact we intend to keep our 2 children there this year. My daughter has excelled in all subject areas; she is fluent in reading and she was in kindergarten. My son did just as well. Every school has its ups and downs, once the kinks are worked out (which
