The teachers at Linford are amazing! Not only the best in Laramie, but the best in the region. Traditionally this school gets poor reviews from the community, but I can tell you none of those are true! Great school, great staff, and great students!
Posted by a principal on 8/9/2018We had to move because of the landlord at Glacier Place. When I researched Velma Linford as a school I saw negative reviews.

Posted by a parent on 3/2/2018So glad my child isnt in this dump anymore. Before Linford he loved learning. After starting there he cried knowing he had to go there.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy rating is based on how their preschool wait list is handled. Their preschool is funded with grant money from the state. With money coming from the taxpayer, you would think that priority would go to those with low income and on a first come, first serve basis. This is not the case - at least not completely. The teacher of the preschool program does make sure that she fulfills the requirements for lower income families to maintain her grant status, but beyond that, she will provide her close personal friends with the remaining spots by giving them insider information regarding deadlines and availability of paperwork and registration. It's not right, and it provides some specially selected families with primary status - all on the taxpayers dime.Parent Review14y ago - St. Laurence School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA great school where every child knows, honors, and respects each other. Value-based education where everyone is encouraged to learn at his/her own level. Spanish, Latin, art, music, basketball, running team, dance club, and newspaper club make this a great school!Parent Review12y ago - Laramie Christian School
