so ive had my first year and i just want to come on here and say that this school is HORRIBLE. about 12 fights the FIRST week of school and that wasnt even all. about half of the school wanted to fight me and my bestfriend because they had MY name in their mouth. teaching is also not good here. this new rule they are making about the phones is not going to change anything. most of the kids that disrupt the class dont even have a phone and dont do work. how do yall think its going to change just because yall are putting phones in a pouch.?

The Principal (Ms. Martin) and Assistant Principal (Mr. Wright) have been amazing with assisting the children and addressing parent concerns. They take the time to involve themselves with each kid in their care. They know student by name and can also speak directly with parents concerning the needs of their individual student without having to consult with the teacher or look in a file. They team with teachers to provide them with support as well. They also have different hands on programs to assist children who are struggling with different subjects or assessments. They make these children feel elite and special, as oppose to approaching them as failing and unresponsive children. They are very hands on and it shows in how the kids light up when they see them. The office staff are a bit challenging though, some days they are friendly, other days not so much. Communication is a bit abrasive but I don’t think it’s meant in a malicious manner. They also make it a point to know students by name and assist them as well. Their passion shows through from that perspective. Overall, Commons Lane is a great school for students to excel in learning with a touch of the nurturing care they are custom to receiving at such a young age.

In the past my grandchildren, of whom just started Halls Ferry Elementary this year, would always look for an excuse to not go to school .. now they can't wait to get there! No, we may not be not be Town & Country or the Ladue School Districts but, given the fact that we are a middle class school district I give this school a 5 Star rating. My grandchildren love this school and their Teachers and especially the Principal, Mrs. Hazel who is a jewel!!!. In my experience of dealing w/various schools districts over the years, the Principal and Teachers are very caring and cordial toward the students; they take pride in their reading programs and even go so far as to make sure ALL STUDENTS start their day with a nutritious breakfast, not to mention lunch. And above all they are very cautious of their safety. I just love the way the Teachers interact in all aspects of this Schools routine. You go Mrs. Hazel .you re a winner in my book. Love Ya!

I graduated from this school 10 years ago and I see that it hasn't changed. The overwhelming majority of students didn't want to learn, holding back the students that did. I had teachers that did nothing about bullying and teachers that put zero effort into their lessons. Frequent fights on campus. It's amazing that I graduated from college because this school definitely did not prepare me. Please don't send your kid here.

My son was at the school in the early 2000's and had Renee Schopp for his teacher in 3rd and 5th grade.She was outstanding. We left Missouri in 2004. Chris spent 7 years in the Navy and is now in Boston studying architecture
