The school has a wonderful administrative team leading the way over the last several years. The teachers are overall fantastic.

All 3 of my daughters have attended and graduated from this school. They all took AP classes and were part of the dual enrollment and early college program, while working part time jobs. They participated in school activities and sports and were always respected and treated fairly by students and staff. All 3 of my daughters are biracial and had all the same opportunities as everyone else, their GPA’s were 3.97, 3.89, 3.8. The school sends out family bulletins, emails and text messages to keep parents up to date and involved. The school is safe and clean (although could use more supervision over Vape use in the bathrooms)Overall this is a top notch school, I wouldn’t blame a school. For test grades, the kids need to be held accountable at home and put in the work.

I have two children, my oldest does great in school and loves it. My other child, she had already failed a grade in a previous school, shes not doing so great this year and they won't approve an IEP or 501 plan even with the medical documentation showing she has multiple of learning disabilities and she expresses constantly how overwhelmed she feels with the type of work she is given. I have tried to contact the school twice already to set up a meeting for this school year to discuss the plans and attempting her to enroll, even had her speech therapist say she would vouch that she absolutely needs assistance, but nobody will return my requests. If you have a child who is in need of a 501 or IEP, I do NOT recommend this school. (By the way, for those who are just researching, this school was renamed to Laurel Lane Elementary). I moved here for this school and now regret I did so as I watch my child struggle through another school year causing her to have breakdowns.
