Lexington Elementary School

I am so proud to have family attending this school. They are wonderful.

This school has potential. Unfortunately, there needs to be a change in leadership. The child should always be first but this school prioritizes the needs of the principal over the students. The principal is out recruiting students for the school, but does not enforce discipline or order. On a visit to the school you will notice the students sloppy appearance. Dress codes are no longer enforced because the principal does not make it a priority. The wonderful teachers at Regina Coeli provide the students with a great education but they can only teach with the resources they are given. The principal does not like to spend money on resources. The teachers that make this school are beginning to retire. Once they all retire Regina Coeli will only have a good religion program left. The school is on their third second grade teacher. The fourth grade teacher retired last year and her replacement lasted two weeks. Next year there will be two new teachers added to the school because the first grade teacher is retiring. Unfortunately, the principal has not done a good job hiring/retaining new teachers. The curriculum does not meet the Ohio Standards. The parents in the younger classes no longer volunteer. The same parents volunteer and host the school events. The previous principals made the schools expectations clear to the parents of children being enrolled. The current principal only cares about increasing enrollment but does not ensure families are aware that the volunteers make the school what it is. Without volunteers the school will fail. A school with great potential but needs a new principal.
