Lakewood Elementary School

They allow children to be bullied and get assaulted and won’t do anything about it. They’ll punish your child if you child defends themselves against bullying but won’t do anything about the ones bullying and assaulting your child

Good school overall, with great teachers and staff, although some kids degrade the overall education. Bullying is a problem that teachers claim to fix but do not. There are slurs being uddered in the halls and outside and nobody stops them. The teachers completely slow down and stop the class for some of the kids who don't pay attention and degrades the time for the advanced and gifted kids who are sentenced to the very low standards of their counterparts. There is incredibly little to no homework whatsoever, making it very difficult to remember and commit to memory difficult topics learned that day.

My son have been at SMES sinse 1st grade, and he loves it. We are very happy with the administration, school-parent communication, atmosphere, and education at SMES.

This is a very engaged, welcoming community of parents and students that play an active role in their experience and education. We have absolutely loved our daughter’s experience at CES and are very happy here. The teachers, including all the specials teachers, genuinely care about your child and want to provide a wonderful learning environment for them. There are many things the school does to ensure that each child is being appropriately challenged and our daughter has made amazing progress in all areas - language arts and math specifically. 10/10!

Saint Raphael’s Elementary is truly special. The intimate setting of one class per grade creates a tight-knit community where every child is known and valued.The families here are exceptional—warm, involved, and genuinely supportive. We’re a liberal family, and I want to emphasize: you don’t need to be intensely Catholic (or Catholic at all!) to feel welcome and happy here. The community is inclusive and focused on values we can all share.The teaching staff is outstanding, with many long-tenured educators whose experience and commitment shine through daily. When adjustments are needed, the administration acts quickly and thoughtfully.If you’re looking for a school where your child won’t get lost in the crowd, where teachers truly invest in their students, and where community matters, Saint Raphael’s is it. We couldn’t be happier!
