Lavace Stewart Elementary School

The teachers and staff need to watch out for bullies

So overall very great school. Their field trips are always chaotic and not well organized. I have ran into a few bad teachers that like to call the kids names which i addressed with the principal. but overall a pretty good school and my kids have never had any real problems

The school environment is bright, engaging, and filled with a variety of activities that stimulate creativity and learning. My son loves the hands-on learning experiences, from arts and crafts to outdoor play. I’ve seen him grow in confidence and social skills since starting here. We receive regular updates about my son's progress and daily activities, which makes me feel connected and involved. The team isalways open to feedback and suggestions, which shows their commitment to providing the best care possible. We love Miss Myla, Miss Paige, and Miss Alesha!

I have had several children over course some ten years at this school. I feel like with all public education it is a mixed bag. I think many of the teachers are excellent and do a great job but I have seen turnover and loss of better teachers.I general it is well to do suburban school. The school is very tailored for household with stay at home parent or with extremely flexible schedules. Programming including teacher conferences are all done with expectation that you are free all day. Field trips and programs often have more chaperones than kids and programming is always packed. Parents start lining up at 12/1pm for 315 dismissal!The school is not tailored for disadvantaged, struggling or simply a work traditional hours.The education component is ok. Be prepared to teach your child and truly check in frequently with what you know they need to learn. If you rely on the teachers and reports you wlll think you child is fine for a very long time only to learn (often too late) they are behind or struggling in an area.Can not comment on current leadership principal - they are much more out of view and absent in comparison to previous.Finally a special word about the front office. The ladies who work there are difficulty to say the least. They are a bit unfriendly, unevenly apply "rules/standards" which are not official written policy of school or district. They are your primary interaction with the school and really should work on doing better.
