Kiewit Middle School

Love it!The staff and teachers have tremendous passion for kids learning and it shows in the individualized attention they give to every student.Would love to see them enhance their process to challenge high ability students.

After looking at Omaha, Bennington and Elkhorn schools, as well as many private schools. I can say with confidence, Aldrich Elementary blows them all out of the water. I have been so impressed by the strides my children have made in just the last year. Aldrich Elementary is a phenomenal school and I cannot recommend them enough.

It may have changed now, but both my kids had, except for a few exceptions, poor teachers. My kids loved school as soon as they graduated and started at Kiewit.

My daughter attends Abbott and I have nothing but praise for the staff of Grace Abbott. There are many excellent opportunities for students to be involved in activities - from choir, book club, spanish club, to stock market club. SWAMP time is a great community building activity that focuses on good traits to build strong citizens. Dr. Chaussee has great communication with parents and does what is fair and best for the students. He works hard to know the children and I see him working in the lunch room at recess when I have volunteered. I don't believe it's very common for other administrators to do these jobs. There is a new volunteer program just for dads called Watch dogs that my husband enjoyed doing and my daughter loved having dad in school for a change. The teachers are interested in and care about my child. I appreciate how they send great emails to help remind us of the activities going on in school. I'm so thrilled about the choosing Grace Abbott for my child's education.

This administration at the school (front office) is poorly ran. This woman is not a natural born leader. She barks orders, instead of leads. The principal is a nightmare to work for as she is doesn't understand a community of teachers and grace when it comes to her employees. As far as how she handles students, I've seen 1st hand the unknowing, blatant, unaware racism she isn't aware she shows to specific students. This woman is data driven crazy woman who looks at students and staff as just numbers and never gets to really know her staff. However, Millard will not do anything because this woman is on her way out anyway (thank the lord). Be wary when sending your kid or applying to this school.

LCS is all-around an excellent school with strong Christian values and teachers who care about students and are great at what they do! We have sent three of our kids to LCS so far and absolutely love it!
