My experience and my daughter’s experience at this school has been horrible. She has been severely bullied for two school years now and the only thing that has been done are conversations with the students who are doing the bullying. There has been no real consequences given. Because of this, the situation has spiraled out of control, to the point of her being physically attacked twice, and still, nothing is done to stop it. On top of this my daughter has a 504/IEP that they are refusing to honor and provide the proper services for. She has struggled with academics and the response from the teachers has been to yell at her and call her names, as opposed to having patience and support for her. She has been left to completely fall behind, feel overwhelmed and her self worth has diminished. It has gotten to the point where she has daily panic attacks at school. We have had to seek therapy and she has now been diagnosed with major depression with anxiety and ptsd due to what has been allowed to happen at this school. When her doctors/social workers contacted the school they were lied to about services my daughter receives and it was turned around to say they are not seeing enough effort put in by my daughter so it is her fault for struggling. My advice, stay far away from this school and this area in general. It’s disgraceful what is happening and then being swept under the rug.

Based on my family's experience, Lincoln High School has not treated all students fairly or consistently. We have observed what we believe to be unequal treatment of minority students, particularly Black students, compared to their peers.Concerns regarding student safety, disciplinary decisions, and administrative responsiveness were not addressed in a manner that demonstrated fairness or accountability. As a result, we lost confidence in the school's ability to provide an equitable environment for all students.Families should carefully research their options and speak with current students and parents before enrolling. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage Black and minority families to consider other schools in the area that have a stronger reputation for fairness, inclusion, and student support.

The environment at Lonsdale Elementary is a true community. We have met so many wonderful families and feel a strong connection to the school, a feeling that is reflected in the teachers' and staff's dedication to creating a positive and supportive atmosphere. We are grateful for the strong foundation they have provided for our children. The school does a fantastic job of nurturing a well-rounded student. Academically, our daughter is excelling, but she is also developing important social skills through collaborative projects and the school's focus on leadership. We are also very pleased with the school's communication.
