I am a student at LSFB and i can say several things that are wrong in the 'quick facts'. First of all, the school day actually lasts 8 hours. Classes begin at around 8:15 am. All classes end at around 3:00 pm, but classes are dismissed at staggered periods, as not to overflow the street with cars where

In the 2007-2008 school year, there was no pre-k, however, on the date of this writing, the school board had notified students and parents through a newsletter that the school has applied for a UPK (Universal Pre-K). I believe the PTA, the students themselves, teachers, administration, and the school board is at its highest at LSFB, and I suggest you come! Read less

The class sizes, few dedicated teachers, and the encouragement of children to do community service and be charitable are the only redeeming qualities of this institution. The chronic tuition increases, the lack of facilities, the buildings in need of renovation, the bias towards the children of staff

Children who perform near or at the top of their classes will become easily bored, and the teachers may not have the time or ability to accommodate their advanced learning needs. The Math, Science, and Language curriculum is poor. If you would like your child to get into a magnet High School (Bx Science, Stuyvesant, Bklyn Tech, Townsend Harris), you would be wise to put them in the Public School system by the time they reach 5th grade.

As a current staff member I can appreciate the difficulties associated with choosing an all inclusive school for ones child.

I'm very surprise of all negative things people are writing about this school. My daughter graduate last year. She attend there from K-8th.

Both my children attended the Lutheran School of Flushing & Bayside. We came from a New York City public school where the class sizes were getting out of control.

Many times I would see the Principal talk with a stundent one on one to see how things are going.

While we are not Lutheran, the Christian teachings and attitudes of the school are obvious, and to our liking. Read less
