Lone Mountain Elementary School

My granddaughter has been attending Lone Mountain Elementary School since Kindergarten. The teachers at this school not only attend to the children's academic needs but their emotional needs as well, instilling confidence in the early years so they can be successful going forward. The Principle of Lone Mountain cares for every one of her students and knows them by name. She is sensitive and kind but runs a tight ship and has very high expectations of her staff keeping this school excelling in academics and creating a safe and caring environment in which to learn.

We came to LMES from another state and have been here one year. Although the academic programs and teachers' skills seem strong, I am disappointed in the atmosphere of the school. Our child has come home upset by how students treat each other, mean comments and hitting, and how it seems the staff is not concerned when children mistreat each other. Our previous school had programs to encourage positive values like respect and responsibility. This school seems only concerned with the business of academics. I am saddened that my child sometimes does not want to go to school because everyone is mean. I know that our neighbor's child quit riding the bus due to fear of how other kids treated him. This is an atmosphere I believe the school needs to address.

I have two children at LMES and am very pleased with the education they have received. Teachers provide enrichment opportunities within the classroom, as well as before and after school. My children's teachers have gone above and beyond my expectations in their willingness to provide new and interesting educational opportunities as well as showing such an interest in getting to know each child as an individual. Teachers, staff, and administration are easily accessible and helpful.

Both of our girls have attended this school since Kindergarten. They have excelled in the school because of the curriculum, the care the teachers take in their instruction process, and the overall positive environment. The girls enjoy the other students, the extracurricular options, and the friendliness of the instructors. The school system does a great job of communicating with parents and creating a safe environment for learning and development to take place. The teachers lead by example and provide great role models that our girls can look up to. We are proud to have our daughters involved in this excelling school and feel confident they are receiving a quality education and developing socially at the right pace.

My children attended this school for 3 years and I have to say I am glad we left! Certain teachers play favorites, so much that it harms other students. I found the PTO to be very unwelcoming and not at all interested in help unless you were throwing money at them! My children were so far behind when we moved to a different state, at least two grade levels.( at lmes they had good grades) I hope the school has improved since my kids attended as it has taken them over a year to get back on track.

STEM program is a real asset to the students and the staff. Teaching is hands on, and helps students to be problem solvers.

We have 1st and 3rd graders at LMES. Both love their classes and teachers. The principal is fantastic and gets everyone excited, so the parental involvement is great. Academics are strong and they still offer special programs like Mandarin. We've experienced 5 schools in the past 4 years and this is our favorite.

Our children went to this school for one year then we moved closer to my husband's work...big mistake...We moved back specifically because of the teachers and environment of learning here. We love this school and will be here til our last child is in JR High!!!
