School is not good, the assistant principal is unfriendly, especially for the older kids. They improperly deal with those with special needs, never excited about school, only recess is good and some of the teachers are unfriendly. They had not given us a shirt we bought and probably frustrates a lot of students.

We have had the most incredible experience at this school. My kids absolutely love it, the teachers are incredible, the administration is wonderful and they are learning so much. We consider ourselves extremely blessed to attend this school and would recommend it to everyone.

We feel fortunate that our son attends our neighborhood elementary school. It’s a nurturing and inclusive environment that prioritizes socio-emotional learning. The teachers and staff are very attentive and compassionate, helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence, empathy, and resilience. The carpool line is impressively organized, making drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. We also love the community-building events like movie nights and fall festival. TOur son has a mild peanut allergy, and the cafeteria manager has been incredibly proactive and communicative. The school communicates well with parents and is genuinely receptive to feedback, which we truly appreciate.

My child has attended for four years. The teachers provide specialized support based on each child's strengths and development areas. There is a strong culture of school spirit and building character.

We have seen this school go from a 6 rating to a 9 rating and it has been a fantastic experience. My son loves the school and his teacher, and there is a lot of parent involvement. He only has 15 kids in his class which is a great size and we have become friends with the parents of some of his classmates. The principal, Mrs Lovett, is extremely hardworking and very accessible. We love the year-round schedule, and all the kids seem to be really thriving. This school has definitely changed my opinion about public school, that is for sure! I really don't have much to complain about and we are very thankful our son can attend Laurel Park.
