Lyn Knoll Elementary School

Posted August 21, 2006

Our son attended this school a couple of years ago. We pulled him out. The schools are bursting at the seams. Large class size when my son attended. There is a new principal at this school--that may be a plus but the problems may be too much for one person to overcome.

Nice school, friendly staff, high percentage of immigrants with little or no family desire to have children succeed. Many speak english as a second language and are ill prepared for any form of education involving instruction in english, like many urban schools that cater to large immigrant communities, it seems to me, that the school is used as babysitting situation while the parents work. Lousy scores year after year with little possibility of improvement possible. Looking at aps map the only schools that have realistic expectations of giving children an education are those that have larger white populations, presumably families that have better education want the children to benefit as well. Not a bad school just overwhelmed by the immigrant issue, aps policy is incremental improvement over a long period which means all the kids in low scoring schools now are getting a lousy education.
