Lee County Elementary School

I feel it is not the norm, but our experience has NOT been a good one. My son attends kindergarten at KPS. I recently learned that when a student in my son's class talks during lunch, they are sent to what she calls the "Table of Shame". KPS only gives 25 minutes for lunch and therefore has a no talking rule, and I understand separating them from the group for breaking the rule, but Table of Shame? Shaming young students for socializing during a non-academic timeframe is hardly acceptable. Their minds and self-esteem are still developing, and such a thing can permanently damage their confidence levels and outlook on school in its entirety. Furthermore, several teachers in the school have commited grammar and spelling errors, such as using apostrophes in plural, not possessive, words. Society has begun making exceptions for such clear violations of common rules, but an educator should not be excused for such a thing. These people are supposed to be educating our children on the rules, not violating them themselves. KPS prides themselves in being an above average school, but the only thing that sets them apart is their stricter behavioral rules. Academics are the same as any other.

Lee County Primary School is the best thing about Lee County, all students are genuinely loved! There is a full-time counselor and school nurse on staff and students participate in PE, Art and Music class every week. Children with peanut allergies are respectively accommodated and taken care of but not at the expense of the children without peanut allergies. LCPS also has a loving exemplary special needs program! We love Lee County Primary School!
