Flanders

what a wonderful school!. The blue ribbon adds up! my son is in 7th grade and is in the honors algebra math each day he comes home with a variety of things he has learned during the school day. after each trimester he gets faculty commendations or high honers. We recently just moved and my son went to this old school where he wasn't getting challenged enough and got bored, however, at this school his grades and education have skyrocketed! and it's not that this school is too easy. since he is in honors math he comes home with packets of work and loves it!. in his la class they read a bunch of classics and write essays and opinion-based pieces. oh, how he loves the teachers! especially his math teacher. and what a diverse spectrum of clubs. he loves to partake in the math counts one where they study and compete in states. my family adores this school.

I feel like a lot of parents put all the pressures of teaching on the teachers only. But in reality, the teaching starts at home. Flanders is an incredible school, with so much support! My daughter left this school last year, due to us moving and we moved back to Connecticut because we missed the district and all of the things this school has to offer. I feel like the teachers do a great job with all the children regardless of where they are or really, where they aren't. I feel like ifh child is really understanding what's going on in the class and she needs to be challenged more, I'll challenge Her at home. But I really don't see that problem and not because my child isn't smart. She truly is. A lot of that I feel comes from a combined effort both ag this wonderful school and from us at her wonderful home.

We lived in PA before moving to East Lyme. So we have experienced one other elementary school besides Lillie B. Haynes. I can’t speak highly enough about Lillie B Haynes. They were a better school than we could have ever imagined. The social skills alone that they teach every morning as the kids are arriving to school is enough to make every parent jump for joy. The principal is a wonderful, warm, kind woman that teaches love and kindness in her school. The security guards are top notch. They give you a good feeling every time you arrive. When your kids arrive they give them a high five. They really make you feel like they care and they’re keeping everyone safe. Further, the teachers are personable, and relatable, and you can tell that they all really care about enforcing a positive school environment, and they really care about providing the best education possible.

Horrible, misguided school, that ruined my chances at a proper life and career by inundated me with false beliefs, fears, and poor academics. Aw man.. I have to select at least one star.
