As a 1st grader, I attended Lindbergh the first year it opened in 1991, after being closed for years. I can only remember positive experiences during my time there, and it was all great memories. My 3 kids have attended since Pre K. Lindbergh is very engaging and holds several fun family activities throughout each year that take place outside school hours, that we continue to look forward to that provide learning, free books and keepsakes for the whole family. Not the same staff from the 90s, but lots of tenured staff and principal Mrs T has remained committed to and accountable of the school for years, overseeing amazing staff. Lindbergh has always been supportive of my children's needs, particularly with my child that was very difficult. I never felt he was treated unfairly or judged and appreciated the advocacy provided by all staff involved (Mrs D was a saint!). secretary, Ms B facilitates all admin and non classroom stuff, and really stays on top of of everything . She's incredible! The Librarian Mrs F has been there years, and works hard at keeping the library full, holds book fairs, along with several other contributions to the school. Kindergarten teacher Mr H Is awesome. I made sure all my kids had him, because of his teaching style, tolerance and ability to provide a space that was not intimidating. My kids transitioned to K smoothly. Mrs T in 1st grade has the best skillset and resources to introduce children to reading and I absolutely loved the environment in her room. She took a unique approach to teaching. Only downside is the third grade 'dynamic duo' (Mr G & Ms B) left before my last child had a chance to have them. They were top notch!, and Mrs H in 5th grade will soon be retiring before he's in 5th. Shes is a absolute gem, and the most compassionate educator I've met. It happens, and it's not negative, just a bummer. I can't think of a concern, or time that was never heard, and acted upon accordingly. I know this is long, but this is a honest opinion of a school that I have willingly sent my children, and been involved with for over well over a decade in total, even though the scores aren't perfect. I could have tried the lottery, but trust my kids are safe and know staff genuinely cares. people fail to realize that parent engagement goes a long way and kids do best with involved parents. I guarantee if more parents remained consistently involved, students would thrive and scores would increase! We'll miss L.E.S when that time comes!
