Lake In The Hills Elementary School

This school is terrible. My kids come home daily feeling uncomfortable and in tears. There are so many bullies at this school and inappropriate talking from all grades. Constant cussing on the busses. Some older kids trying to fight and the bus drivers aren’t paying attention. Kids get bullied right under teachers noses and yard duties ignore it. All they do is talk to the kids but parents are not contacted. So the bullying continues. There is not enough supervision on the playground. One of my biggest complaints is they do not provide lockers for the kids winter stuff so they have to carry a heavy laptop, snow pants, a beanie, gloves and shoes daily. This is extremely heavy for all grades! Kindergartners also have to carry extra clothes daily just in case they have an accident. This is something that should be kept in a cubby or box at school. Better yet a locker! Most of the time the laptops are not used at home and only used in class so this is also something that can be kept at school. For middle school the bus rides are also hell. Kids throw stuff all the time and hit my kids and other kids. The bus drivers handle this by screaming and shutting off the heat so the kids freeze. The parents again are not contacted so this behavior continues. I have never been to such a horribly ran school. That is why so many parents I’ve talked to sold their house and moved to a way better school district. Pay attention to how often houses go up for sale in this district. We also did the same! If you love your kids do not move here!

I love LITH elementary because there is positivity everywhere around. The teachers care. The staff cares and there is an overall pride to succeed and accomplish ones scholastic goals while having fun doing so. My kids love their school because they are honored and respected as individuals. They matter. There is no greater gift you can give a child than to show them that they are kind smart and important.

I absolutely LOVE this school!! I have 2 kids attending. The staff and teachers are wonderful! I get the sense that they really care about the students. The Principal, Mr. Jarot is fantastic. He is respectful towards the students. The students can relate to him because he doesn't come off as scary but nurturing. I will miss this school when they move on.

Lake in the Hills Elementary School is a wonderful school! The principal and staff do an outstanding job. You can visibly see the emphasis on respect and it's workings. The staff works together for one common goal and, what steps need to be addressed to meet their goals. I have two daughters that attend LITH 's and have been very pleased with their education thus far. Their teachers were friendly as well as attentive. You can see the care and concern for each individual student. That is so important! Great school, great staff!
