This is horrible school. The staff don't care about the children and the principal is horrible. All the kids do here is fight. They don't have services for special needs children and will discriminate against you.

This school is lead by a principal who has instilled in her staff to use RPC and suspension as methods to prove who is in charge. The staff is unprofessional engaging in inappropriate conversations with the staff and the staff fails to have communication with the parents. They talk to and communicate with the children as if they are the adult. The children here fight all the time, being weapons to school and constantly bully others. This school needs to be SHUT DOWN! There is no concern for the child, their specific learning style, or how they may adapt. The teachers kick the kids out of class with no direction so they be just lingering in the halls. Please do not send your kid to this school!!! You will regret it!

One of the most remarkable aspects of Lyons Farm Elementary is its unwavering commitment to student-centered learning. The teachers here are not simply instructors; they are mentors, guides, and advocates who take the time to understand each child as an individual. Classrooms are thoughtfully designed to encourage collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Rather than relying solely on traditional methods, educators incorporate a variety of teaching strategies that cater to different learning styles, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
