Lawrence High School

GREAT Special Ed program!! Mrs Andreas is wonderful. Many nice events for the school also. Vice Principal is the one to see with any issues.

Great school with a lot of focus on STEM education. Teachers and staff are very friendly and ensure optimum teacher to student ratio. Character building and kindness are two strong pillars of this school and kids are rewarded for being kind and nice with fellow students. PTO is very active and plays a great part in community engagement. It’s a very happy place.

LES is the best! Both of my children are currently attending as first and third graders and have been attending since PreK. I love the focus on social emotional learning too. The teachers are amazing. The only thing I wish is that it went to 5th grade so my kids could stay longer.

All the reviews are TRUE from what you read on the internet. "Small school" "small classes" "qualified teachers" but don't let that fool you. I pulled my child out of this school because they were EXTREMELY understaffed according to NJ school guideline ratio, classes were small not by choice. The teachers are wonderful but lack in teacher AID support. The owner is so "money hungry", she/he is willing to put the kids in danger to make a few extra bucks instead of hiring QUALIFIED and ABLE teachers . In the course of 5 months, there was a NEW teachers aid EVERY week. Exposing my child to a new teacher which was NOT ok by me. At this young age, I believe I CONSISTANCY and ORDER will best benefit my child, They have a "CODE" to get into to the school but NEVER change the code. As a previous management professional, we were REQUIRED to change the "code" after dismissal of new staff and on a regular basis. (A protocol this school never abided by). When I enrolled my child to a different school, I saw a complete difference in his attitude toward school. He LEARNED more and was moreEXCITED about going to school. He wasn't just BABYSAT but actually LEARNING because he had the one on one supervision vs the teachers "surviving" their shift. Please do your research before enrolling your precious kid into this this schools. There is a "mom" of a kid named C...., she is now a teachers aid. .....STEER AWAY!

I pulled my four-year-old son from the Pre-4 class at St. Ann's and know others who have pulled their children from the school, as well. My son was belittled, at *four years old* for not being able to read and write yet. He spent his time in pre-school doing worksheets instead of playing. He began telling me he did not want to go back to school, and it is no wonder. The teacher was incredibly rude and condescending to my son's grandmother, criticizing my son *in front of him.* After pulling my son from the school, all of my requests to meet with the principal were ignored. St. Ann's also kept the remainder of my tuition for the rest of the year, despite the fact that I was forced to pull him from the school because of their teacher. Do not send your preschooler to this school!!
