Esta escuela es maravillosa!!!!!! Aprender, se divierten, y comparte!

Man I used to go to this school and it was so bad to me, I used to get bullied and punished with my bullies

This school is extremely bad. The students here are incredibly disrespectful, swear a lot, fight, bang on doors, and even fight on campus very frequently, especially in 7th grade where they push each other a lot. I repeat, fighting is extremely, extremely bad. Students hide in the restrooms smoking e-cigarettes, and if students swear, the teachers turn a blind eye. The skipping rate at this school is extremely high. For example, I was in recess in the gym until lunchtime, and for some reason another student pushed me hard. In short, if you're choosing a school for your child, avoid this one.

Reported stolen items from this school (from a school play.) They didn’t do anything. Also, this school is perfect for rich children of wealthy parents. But if you’re of low income, don’t even bother about putting your child in this school. They will feel/be excluded and shunned to the side because of their class meanwhile the rich students whose parents have connections will be pandered to. This school is atrocious. Would not recommend.

The school is a wonderful community, the teachers care

If you look at the data, you'll see it. Some teachers don't even teach us anything, they just give us worksheets and expect us to do them. The amount of times I have seen other students fight is insane. And the staff never know! One time, some kids just straight up left the school and nobody knew about it. If you want your child to feel safe or be emotionally supported, don't go here.

Lunch food is bad and at lunch the staff there talk to the other staff instead of dismissing students to get lunch

The reason why I rate this school three stars because the students were bullying me for no reason they were teasing me about my weight and none of the staffs did anything about it at all and the co worker lady in the cafeteria made false accusations about me calling out sick alot and she was rushing me on my job i would never ever work for the trotter elementary school anymore.

As a parent, my experience with the Lyndon has been very positive. I can only speak for the elementary grades so far, but my children have progressed well academically and socially. I have been very happy with all of the teachers so far over 5 years. The school offers gym, music, art, science, theater, and various before/after school childcare options/activities. The current administration has been excellent, and notably has increased the academic rigor above what BPS requires generally. Parents are heavily involved which is a major plus.

PLEASE READ IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT MOVING YOUR CHILD OR MOVING YOURSELF TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! This school is horrible, they suck at handling bullying situations. Everyone who attends that school are so disrespectful and will tease you or bully you just by not even doing anything to them. The school sucks at helping make students feel safe and comfortable. They never do anything to the people who bully others. I once attended this school for 5 years straight and it was one of the most hardest, horrible, mentally exhausting years of my life. It wasn’t till last year i decided to leave that school from all the bullying none of the kids there have home training and are disrespectful to teachers and other students. Teachers never care about how you as a student feel. This school really did ruin my life i was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and social anxiety and i believe that all my diagnoses was caused from this school and the horrible people in there. Never over share with teachers/counselors cause they will use it against you and will report you. Students nor teachers have empathy. There are fights that occur often due to kids having no home training and poorly counseling. If any teacher or person who works at this school try listening to the kids who get harassed and bullied at your school and do something effectively to solve the situation have the kid who bullies or teases others punished why does the kid who gets bullied and harassed have to get punished?? why are they forced to overshare then get threatened to get reported or sent to a mental hospital? in what way is that right? check in with students who seem distant from others thats usually the target the other students pick on to bully what’s so hard about that? care about your students fix them stop tryna paint the school online as some fun accepting school when reality its not. DO NOT send your child here there is a 50% chance that your child will get bullied and later have mental health issues. The school absolutely sucks at handling bullying situations, fights, and mental health issues. How are kids supposed to feel safe if theres a fight occurring almost everyday or someone thinks that they are greater than everyone else that they have to treat others poorly FOR NO REASON. I am still suffering my social anxiety is horrible so is my depression. Everyday i get ptsd and all the bullying situations still haunts me till this day. I am still insecure of myself and i have no faith in myself anymore.
