My children felt challenged and supported. Their teachers were invested in their success.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2025Though this is not the best school, it is pretty decent and is effective in academics and making character. I know this because I went to this school two years ago.
Posted by a student on 11/6/2019Things have gone downhill in the past 2 years. Not a warm feeling that was there previously. Kids can't be kids there, all is academic. Very little done to allow kids to be kids in younger grades. Overcrowded in several grades, 30+ kids. Not the best anymore.
Posted by a parent on 3/6/2016In response to the previous reviewer: okay, school probably should have contacted you to verify alternate dismissal plan. But I personally think it is parents' responsibility for sending a note every time there is a deviation from the norm, just to be on the safe side. I always do this unless the ho
Posted by a parent on 10/1/2014The school is indeed run like a military camp. I actually believe it's more like a prison. I went to this elementary school as a child and I am so disappointed in my experience here thus far. My son was sent home on the bus when he was supposed to be staying for an after-school activity that we had

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSo many good things to say about this school and it’s and administration. We moved from Arlington, VA where there were top notch schools. I’d say this school’s special education teachers (Mrs. Gaugh, Ms. Ichoku, Mr. Reheard)Mrs. Albright (principal) and Mrs. Lynam (VP) truly love their school and know each kid by name. One of my kids went there for only 1 year which was the virtual year and the teachers and admin still ask about him. Most of the gen ed teachers are good so far if not amazing. Principal and VP are very involved in after school events. Parents are pretty involved and you have to sign up right away for helping with field trips, class parties, etc or you won’t get a spot. Band and orchestra are competitive here and miss the old band teacher who left a couple years ago. Now band teacher tends to focus more on those who have a natural talent for their instrument. Families are pretty friendly too. I’d recommend sending your kids here. Love CLES <3333Parent Review1y ago - Phelps Luck Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son attends this school and has been for 3 years now. Not only is he bullied by his peers, after I reported the bullying the Principal dismissed it as bullying. Even though it's been ongoing for 3 whole years. They'll look into it, observe the behavior, investigate it, and do their best within their legal ability and then dismiss it. My son is still facing the bullies to this day. The wellness room AKA NURSE is a joke. The nurse isn't allowed to give the kids medicine for a headache or migraine. My son had a migraine, went to the wellness room (NURSE) and was sent back to class. They told him it's not that serious. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? MY SON WAS IN TEARS AND IN PAIN. I WAS NOT CALLED ONCE!! Don't get me started on the teachers that YELL and SCREAM at the kids.EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SCHOOL.Parent Review1y ago - Worthington Elementary School
