I have 3 students at Loring and cannot say enough about the administration, faculty & staff. Since the last review was written, there have been much needed staffing changes, including a wonderful Principal and Assistant Principal who have made Loring a truly special place.My children do not have special needs, but have been in several inclusion classrooms over the years. The school and district do an amazing job to respond to the need of the individual student. There is grace for the behavior of children still learning how to behave in school, but a pervasive attitude of inclusivity and very strong socio-emotional supports. One of my children has a class where 2-3 students would be bullied at any other school. In this school they had 3x the SEO and guidance support and the classroom became a wonderfully supportive environment. It’s the only time I had a child insist on inviting the whole class to her birthday party (“Its fine if they don’t come and they probably won’t but I wouldn’t want a classmate to feel left out!”). This from my most self-centered child. The PTO is wonderful and Loring is probably the most diverse elementary in Sudbury both racially and economically. We have many ESL students. Go loring!

This was a wonderful school for my child (9th grader at LSRHS now). The administration is great. The principal and my child’s counselor was fabulous and made a huge difference during those very difficult pandemic years. Principal makes a clear effort to know who each kid is immediately upon them starting 6th grade. Teachers were all very nice for all the core subjects. My kid made a strong connection with at least one teacher every year. Fabulous music and drama programs. Can’t comment on sports as my kid did not participate. They are all very invested in the kids overall health and well-being as well as their academic progress. My child had one bad experience with a newly hired non core course teacher. This person did not remain at the school for more than a couple months and the word was they were fired. Middle school years are always a bit rough on kids. The staff seems acutely aware of this and provides all sorts of support and show genuine caring for all the kids.

Both of my children attended LS and received a first-rate education. They learned how to be self-sufficient students, team players and good citizens. The school offers many opportunities beyond the classroom - both of my children well very well prepared for college and for adulthood.
