Amazing that some of the reviews below are allowed to stay… if your child has a truancy issue, they are required by law to address it- sounds like that person had been avoiding all communication from the school so the principal had to step in… for the review indicating that there is poor communication between teachers and parents on test dates and content, they clearly aren’t using the technology tools available to them (class dojo) or reading the teacher’s weekly status reports… sounds like the issue is your son not bringing information home and not an issue with his teacher. Also, one of the main goals of school is to grow our children into responsible members of society. If the parent is the one managing the child’s schedule and reminding every time there is a test, that child will never learn to take responsibility and the consequences of not being accountable.My family’s experience with LES has been completely different from these reviews. Every concern I have raised has been met with professionalism and accountability. The teachers have been phenomenal. Communication comes home weekly and there is an envelope you must sign acknowledging the receipt of the communication. The principal posts at least monthly on upcoming events and school wide initiatives. They are intentional about creating a nurturing and welcoming environment for all students. I can’t say enough positives about this school and it’s administration.Also, school was torn down and rebuilt in 2018 (I believe), so the reviews about the building being run down are out of date.

We moved here at the beginning of my daughters 7th grade year. All of the kids and faculty were so welcoming. My child is in AP classes and so far all of the teachers have been awesome and we haven't had the first bit of trouble with any of the faculty. Something I really enjoy about the school is the electives. She is in the music program which is a whole year course. At her old school she was able to take music(whole year)and the required PE and Spanish classes and that was it. At LEMS she still does her full year music class but also changes electives every 9 weeks so she has the chance to do more which is nice. Love that even through 8th grade they get recess. Kids need a break and it may only be 15-20 min it's better than nothing. Pick up and drop off is awesome and moves smoothly everyday. I haven't heard of too much trouble going on at the school. Don't hear of fighting and stuff like that very often. Over all we LOVE this school especially compared to other schools have went to and ones our friends and families kids go to. The horror stories. Thankful for such a great school.

Horrible school. Full of bullies and they do nothing to the ones that are from Lugoff or their families are. Good ole boys system. Not even based on money either. Teachers do not care whatsoever about the students. Just there for a paycheck. Know many people in education around the state and the things that happen in this school, doesn’t happen at other schools. Would run for the hills and would never send a child to this school.
