Lugo Elementary School

This school sucks, the principle is horrible and it is a failing school. It's rated below the district average.

I went to this school about 25 years ago and think the teachers were great some are still teaching there. They were a good influence in my life and highly recommend them. Most importantly they believed in me and that's very important in a kids life. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had and the experiences I went through when I lived there.

Bullying is bad at this school the staff does nothing to protect the children or offer support. The school bathroom had racial slurs graffiti in the bathroom. The school base its education on test scores and less on classroom curriculum. I don't suggest this school to anyone if they want their children to blossom or feel safe.

This school year it's been a game for 4th grade students, too many substitutes and on my case one of them grade my kid with an F . The answer I was given by the principal was that they don't have to prove that he deserves that grade (this means that they can cause sadness on a kid because part of the stuff is just there for a pay check not as a professional). My son its been a straight A student and with the new teacher has good grades and she couldn't explain the grade before because on the same subject with her he had scored an A so. Thanks to the new principal for this 2015 worst year on Thurgood Marshall.

this school is the best school in the world

The Magnet program is a great program here. The teachers are amazing, there are a few bad apples, but the rest go above and beyond. The principal will work with you if you show him that you won't back down and that you are serious about your child. Overall the school is good, I would recommend, but as a parent we also have to do our part to keep children safe and in a protective environment be involved as well in their academic achievement.
