Lummis Elementary school is a place where students are provided with experiences to enrich their minds, social skills and learn to be outstanding citizens in the community. Students are surrounded by faculty who demonstrate exceptional dedication to their profession. Community outreach experiences provide Lummis Lasers with an opportunity to look past themselves and find joy in caring for others. The PTA is a wonderful bridge between school and home- always organizing activities to engage families in their students education. The administration is passionate about what’s best for kids. They set high expectations for behavior, which has unfortunately become lax in other schools. This allows for maximized learning time with minimized interruptions. If you are looking for a place to be an equal partner in your child’s education and part of a community with a shared focus on creating life long learners, Lummis is the place for you.

This school doesn't take bullying seriously. They dont ask for other sides and they favorite white kids. Education is okay but the counsilors and teachers take sides. My friend was a victim of bullying but their bully reported first and they didnt ask to hear his side. He lost disney privileges in which he paid $535 for. I don't recommend not a single bit.

Education: For me, I'm not too disappointed with the education I got as an AP/IB student. The upper level teachers are pretty motivated and supportive (especially the AP STEM department), and have helped me achieve admission into my reach schools. As for the Honors/Regular coursework experience, I've heard horror stories of teachers openly allowing students to fail, not showing up to class, making weird sexual remarks, and disappearing midway through the year. Administration: Yikes. There's one person in the upper administration who publicly shames the students, pretty much harassing them for minor faults like dress code, jogging around (4 minute passing time for such a big campus is pretty diabolical), and just having harmless play with friends. I honestly AVOIDED them like the black plague and everyone else did too, except the kids that purposely tried to get on their good side. The other admins are pretty cool, I got to know them while I did office aide and they're generally good people. Many don't like the principal, but I think she is just fine.Social: In my experience, the social culture is a hit or miss. Generally speaking, the kids aren't very open minded. Your best bet of finding your friends is to join a group of some sort (sport/music/arts/etc) in freshman year. Very cliquey. I found that its quite easy to get singled out, it often feels like you know everyone but majority of the time, they're emotionally unavailable. For the amount of people at this school, you'll only find a very select few to socially connect with. OVERALL: Palo wasn't the worst, but definitely not the best. I've had good and bad times, and have made memories I'll forever cherish here, but if I were to reel back time, would I choose it again? Most likely not.
