8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in 5th grade at Lester Park elementary. The teachers are experienced promote a love of learning. The teachers have provided challenges for students needing it. Fourth graders are challenged to read 40 books and be involved in Battle of the Books which has developed a love of reading in my child.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagethis school is terrible for mental health. im a current student at ordean and i cannot stand the staff or other students, teachers will constantly turn a blind eye to bullying and straight couples yet anyone in a gay relationship will be alienated, called slurs, and harassed, same with anyone who is transgender or of color. the teachers are rude and opinionated, they treat their students terribly and some of the male teachers are even creepy towards girls. the staff spends all of the profits on the building and new websites like “smart pass” which is a way to keep students from going to the bathroom essentially. they do not give students any field trips because of the wasted money and the school is run like a prison. teachers care more about money, summer break, and making students into mindless zombies instead of their students health and mental health. this school is the worst school ive ever been to and i dont suggest anyone goes there.Student Review3y ago
