Lewton School

My son is now a 2nd grade AI (autism impaired) student (there since kindergarten) and our experience has been wonderful. He's improved in every area. The teachers are often firm but very much care for the students. The classroom aids have always gone above and beyond. I've had no trouble advocating for my son or any issues with upholding his IEP. If there has ever been an issue where my son is hurt or injured I always receive a call letting me know what happened and how it was handled. As a parent I have been able to go into the school and volunteer. I've seen the teachers and staff in action. They genuinely care for the kids. The PTA always is very involved and constantly doing things for children.

The princible has lie about not wanting my son who has a disability there does not want to work with him at all I have gotten phone calls every day it's sad that act like it was to much for them. I moved in the area and my kids are not use to Spanish but yea this is their home school it's sad how bad Lansing school has become

Great. My son is doing well in 1rst grade. Teachers are nice and treat kids well.

Our child has been at Colt for preschool and kindergarten, and we've had a great experience. Preschool here was more affordable than other schools at the time we started, and the instruction was great as far as we are concerned. Our child learned everything we would expect them to academically, and grew in social skills as well. We were able to start with half day preschool and transition to full day halfway through the year, which we appreciated. I love that my child was able to transition to kindergarten with the familiarity of the same school, familiar staff, and peers. I am very impressed with my child's academic progress in kindergarten. We have read books daily at home for years, but not worked a ton on letter sounds. Adding this in at school this year has our child reading simple stories! We see their teacher every day at dismissal, so there is opportunity to connect if needed. Classroom seating is changed every couple weeks so everyone gets to know each other, and I see the school making a real effort to teach social emotional skills as well. Overall great experience so far. I would love to see more parent involvement with PTO, but I expect most families have two working parents/coparents, which can make after school commitments challenging. One of the special education teachers oversees PTO presently, while helping to engage more parents to take the lead. Talk about a dedicated staff member. We appreciate all staff who we've always observed interacting with kindness and creating a welcoming environment. It's great to see the racial diversity at dropoff and pickup as well. We appreciate this being the norm for our children.

Excellent.... The staff and parent community are the best
