We absolutely love this school! Ellen Fine is an amazing principal and the staff that she has hand picked are top-notch! Ellen Fine encourages a dynamic, team approach to educating our kids. If a child is struggling with the curriculum, a team of teachers meets with the parent to best strategize goals to help the student succeed. Ellen Fine and the staff at LNES have always had an open door policy. The parents are highly encouraged to be involved at the classroom level, as well as in the parent volunteer groups such as the PTA and Foundation. I have a child in 5th grade, as well as one in Kindergarten. We have experienced the full spectrum of grades at this school and have been extremely happy here. LNES has some of the highest API scores in the district due to its' dedicated teachers that are genuinely excited about teaching!
This is not a great school in terms of building morale and ethics. A lot of bully issues goes around the school but the principal and teachers tend to ignore just because they want to please the 'class mom'. Most of the times, the real talented kids are penalized just because they want to please certain parents. Nothing goes on merits here. Most first and second grade parents are good though. Higher grade is a mess. I wouldn't want to send my kids to this school though. Wrong choice. Education preparation is also not great.
Having experienced this school in K-3rd grades, I have to say it is amazing. The community that is brought together by parents, teachers and a great Administrator and staff makes all the difference in the world. Ellen Fine, Principal, hosts flag ceremony every morning where all the students, teachers and parents come together, honor children's accomplishments and begin the day as a single group. This school has some of the best teachers I have ever come across and works well with students at all ends of the spectrum to provide what is necessary to help them soar. I will be very sad when we have to leave this great school.
Terrific school with a strong principal in Ellen Fine and top notch teachers. Parents are very involved.
