We just moved here Aug 2024, my two boys started kindergarten and 4th grade here and this school is wonderful. The teachers, principal, vice principal and staff are all lovely. It’s not always easy to move away and start again at a new school but LES made the transition feel easy. We are very grateful!

I have been a student at this school for almost three years and I have been fairly disappointed in my experience. The entire identity of Reagan High School is seemingly to boast about how "awesome" and "exceptional" the school is. They love talking about test scores, and how they are able to set the curve, but they never brag about their counselors, or how well they teach, or their student populous mental health and wellbeing. Ever since I was in elementary school, I have struggled with math, it just simply was never my thing. It never stopped me from trying though, I truly attempted every test and quiz I have ever taken, and I have studied, and been tutored, yet, I preform at just below average. Reagan, despite knowing this true about me, love to push not just myself, but other students to the absolute max in terms of academic pressure and cramming. I am not calling out on this schools style of teaching, but instead on how they take a toll on many students mental health. I have had a class with many teachers of this school, of those teachers, about 60% of them have given me a hard time. Many teachers here I will admit are very incompetent at their job. I will not name drop, but I have had around two teachers who have taught me and my classmates solely on packets and assignments they make on ChatGPT, and fail to do the main job of teaching: teaching. I feel this is mainly because a majority of the students at Reagan preform at a higher level, and as such, most of the school expects you to do so yourself, even if you cannot. The school does not care about learning disabilities, or IEPs, or any thing else, I stopped having an IEP when I was in middle school, but I see students with disabilities who do not get the support they need from teachers. I watch some of my friends be diminished by teachers if they don't understand a concept of something, because many teachers here just assume that you will instantly understand anything thrown at you. Students with disabilities are the least talked about by the school, because they know they cannot properly educate the handicapped, only the smart straight-a kids. This school will pressure the hell out of you to take the maximum level course of anything, and as of a result many people, myself included, feel so much academic pressure over grades. If you know you are gifted and you can overcome challenges, this school is for you. But otherwise, you will feel pressure.
