4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was once a student at Lyons Elementary, and now I have children attending the school. Unfortunately, the environment does not feel the same as it once did.I’ve noticed what seems to be a very passive approach from the current principal, Ms. Arocha, when it comes to addressing concerns such as bullying and staff conduct. There have also been ongoing issues with certain non-teaching staff overstepping their roles, concerns about inappropriate behavior on school grounds, and situations involving parking and crossing guard enforcement that feel excessive and unprofessional.As a parent and former student, I simply want to see the school provide a safer, more structured, and more supportive environment for the children and families in the communityParent Review1mo ago - Sheridan Road

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is kindergarten through eighth grade. Most of the students have to eat lunch in their class rather than cafeteria. They are denied recess because test scores are so low. The teachers and principal do not know how to work with children, and would rather suspend them for multiple days instead of redirecting them. The school is infested with mice. The majority of the staff are rude and unprofessional. I would highly recommend not sending your children to this school unless changes are made!!Parent Review2y ago
