Grant Elementary School

We have had now three children in this School. Our last is in 6th grade now and doing fine. Back in 2003 I started a job with the City of Cleveland and was required to live inside the City of Cleveland. That was repealed a few years back, We and many of my neighbors havent left. We could but we have seen no reason to. This school is a gem in the rough. Test scores consistently are better than the Parochial schools and the class size in Riverside is 15 students to a teacher whereas if you look at the Parochial school offerings, they are 25-30 students per teacher. This building has Air Conditioning. The other schools dont. Riverside is a brand new building (The old one was fine in my opinion. Our first was in that School for 2 years) The other schools in the area are ancient. Dont fall for the trap of thinking that if you pay a lot of money for something it is better. This school is one of three in the Cleveland School system that consistently shine. Be really careful with really bad reviews of this school. "All the teachers, All the Staff and All the parents are bad" I wrote this review as a counter to that review. I think we found one of the problem kids parents that were removed from this school. Do your research! Dont pay more for something that is inferior. You will have to figure out something better for High School if you live in this neighborhood. John Marshall is a joke even the teachers agree on that. (That School was renovated too but the quality of student there by in large is horrible) So the good time ends at grade 9.

Wonderful school, wonderful teachers and administrators. We love Lincoln!

My child entered second grade here as a new student below grade level in reading. By the end of the year she was at grade level. She has loved all of her teachers so far and the principal is wonderful.

My two children started at LCA in their early childhood program six years ago and are now elementary school students. Their experience has been wonderful from the beginning. The teachers are so dedicated and kind, including the early childhood teachers. I was nervous about sending my kids to daycare. I waited until my children were old enough to talk to me about their feelings, and I noticed right away that my kids flourished here. One of my children is young for her class and struggled a bit in kindergarten and first grade, but she received wonderful resources, including extra reading instruction, and is now testing above average in her grade level. Both of my children are very happy and thankful to be at LCA. I talk with my kids consistently about how they are treated by their peers, and I think the school does a good job emphasizing kindness. The administration is very responsive and helpful. They also do a wonderful job planning fun activities for the kids and families throughout the year. We are very happy and proud to send our kids to LCA.
