George W Lieb Elementary School

Horrible school specially the front desk they don't care for you kid they care only for calling cops for you child because he/she do something like normal kids do and after that they don't call parents to discuss the problem or follow with them No support for this school matter what Idiots old women are working in front desk

The school just to be great. I agree with the comments up here, Christmas spirit is gone, for Christmas they do a Grinch night. Well, the grinch hates Christmas too.. kids don't do any performances at all, barely any activities during the year.

Wonderful school. Excellent and safe food. Good teachers and very friendly staff at the reception desk.

You definitely have to be involved with your children’s education and school events and functions. I actively would ask questions to my child on what was taught and if there was anything she had questions on. Throughout the years I had communicated with the teachers on any concerns and they actively helped. Very supportive teachers and staff. Love the school and everyone in the building.

My 7 and 9 year olds have gone to this school for 3 and 4 years respectively. They love Universal so much, they refuse to even consider any other school. The teachers care for their students immensely and work well with us as parents to guide our children and bring the best out of them. My son has attention issues but is very smart. Every year I connect with his teachers to let them know how to keep him engaged and each one has listened and communicated with me throughout the year. Beyond the children's experience, I love that it's a school that continues to better its curriculum. Teacher are encouraged to continue learning and try new innovative techniques. Universal is not for everyone, however. It is academically rigorous and they do not have the resources to rise a child up to standard they have set. If a child is academically gifted, they will thrive at Universal, but it they are not, unfortunately, they might struggle here. That said, there are times where we have considered whether Universal is able to support gifted students, and while the teachers are highly engaged and willing to further a student's learning, a gifted student can get lazy here and fall back if not supplementing with external academic programs.While the school is an Islamic and Arab environment, it is not a masjid, in that things do happen at the school that are unislamic behavior. Kids will make mistakes, and while the administration will reprimand what they know of, a lot happens that may be surprising for some sending their kids to Universal for the Islamic environment. Finally, the school's Arabic program from K-1st grade is excellent along with the Quran carriers Memorization program. After students begin 2nd grade, however, Arabic really goes down. All in all I always highly recommend Universal with the disclaimer that it is not for everyone, and you have to stay engaged and communicate clearly with teachers to get the most out of the experience.
