Posted by a parent on 6/6/2022Needs new staff and teachers. Chronically ill kids do exist. School acts like students are faking it even with a doctor note and discharge forms.Don’t care if the child is excused. Rude people at the school.
Posted by a community member on 8/12/2021I do not like the way they push these kids nowadays. The classes are too large. Teachers are NOT able to help a child who has fallen behind. We have asked several times for our child to get extra help and it seems like we are always pushed aside. We are looking to move out of this school system.
Posted by a parent on 1/6/2016Test scores speak volumes. For a school that pushes SOL over everything else, you would think the scores would be better.
Posted by a parent on 7/21/2015As far as the County goes this school is the newest elementary school...I had 2 children here, both of which I withdrew to homeschool. Any more children I have will not go to this county's elementary schools. We had issues with the level of education offered (if your child is advanced or behind academically you will have issues), the fact that they push SOL reviews for at least a month before the tests, and issues with the principal. If you are even told that your child got in trouble (I was not informed twice), be sure to investigate...the person who speaks up first tends to not get in as much trouble-even if they were causing the issues. Most of the teachers there are great but even greatness can be over-shadowed by too many kids per class, not enough resources, and a very controlling principal/vice principal. The PTO is great...they are always trying to raise money to purchase new things for the school...they also run some programs just for the family- game night (which is free), craft night, etc. They just need more parents to be involved in this PTO to make it a HUGE success.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in Mrs. Scheulen’s (with the help of Mrs. Deavers) Kindergarten class, and I am thrilled about how much he is learning. I hope she is still around when my youngest son joins LFK, and will hopefully request her as a teacher for him as well. I gave my son the option to homeschool or go to public school, and he wanted to do learning with a whole class. I had my reservations, but it was so difficult trying to teach him myself, he just didn’t want to do it with ME, and would often get frustrated. He went from 0-100 with really wanting to learn at home as well as showing me all of the things he accomplishes at school. I love how often he tries to write words, sounds them out, asks me to read to him, and counts/does math to show off his skills at home. He is also much more into music and doing additional crafts when he comes home. The transition from home to public school was a little bumpy at first, but I’m SO HAPPY and proud of how far my son has come in such a short time. Thank you, the hard work of the teachers and staff don’t go unnoticed. I hope with the change of principal, I will continue to feel great about my son’s education.Parent Review1y ago - Ressie Jeffries Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love the school! The teachers are wonderful, and truly care for the students. Mrs. Sauvager (sp? - sorry) makes us all feel like she’s part of our family when we see her. All the teachers make time for parent questions/communications. We also love the sports - volleyball!!!! (Also, please do men’s volleyball again!!!!!) All the coaches are wonderful. The best part, for me? My son who always hated school, now enjoys it and is getting Honor Roll consistently!
