Lost River Elementary School

They are not very informative to parents in timely manner. Information is either not given at all or not in enough time. They look for ways out of hard situations instead of finding a solution that is fact based instead of owning the problem. If I did not live in this district I would no let my children attend. It's sad there are a few good teachers who deserve a better workplace. In their case I'm glad they are willing to see a child's potential.

This school seems to have a lot of issues. Its systems are complicated and don't work well for the children. My child has been bullied badly and disrespected by teachers. The teachers don't seem to care about the students and tend to yell instead of helping them. They also let the children do whatever they want, and they show favoritism towards certain kids. Moreover, some inappropriate comments are made around children, and the school behaves differently when certain guests are present. In my opinion, the school needs to take better action against bullying and get help to improve its discipline. I'm worried about the next generation growing up in such a negative environment.

This is a really good school. The rating given for this school is old and I believe too low. Recently the county redistricted the school district and I believe it will change the test scores drastically. The teachers and administration are excellent. They are as good as any school in Bowling Green.

Our overall experience was decidedly negative. There is a lot of dysfunction manifesting itself within the school, which stems from leadership both present and past. The culture is such that it provides a hedge of protection for bullies, special interests, and families who are members of the home church, Glendale. My advice for parents looking for a Christian education at ACS: Keep looking. This is not the place. There are healthier, more Christ-like alternatives.

Had high hopes when JRES first opened. My children had excellent teachers... Unfortunately several of these teachers were let go for no apparent reason. It seems to be a trend for this principal to let teachers go after a short time and then replace them with new teachers. Glad we were redistricted.
