Lee Elementary goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my children. It is evident that the teachers and administrators truly try to know each child academically, socially, and emotionally. I know that my children have done exceptionally well while attending Lee.

Lee is a great school, the teachers and staff are wonderful. My Son has learned so much in the 3 years he's been in school. now his little sister starts this year, we cant wait to see how much she loves it as well. I enjoy being a part of the school, I've been home room Mom and now VP of the PTA. It's very important to be involved.

I think that Lee should more things for the children to do outside of the classroom. Also they need to do something about the bully problem they have there.Also they should let the moms & Dad walk there kids in to there classroom everyday.

My child just finished his first year at Lee. What a great year he had. I was amazed at how much he learned this year. The small hometown atmosphere was what we were looking for. All the staff, from teachers & principals to custodians, are stakeholders in the school. Their ultimate goal is student achievment. Lee Elementary is a school you can count on to meet you child where he/she is and take them where they need to go.

Both of my children have excelled at Lee Elementary. Being smaller in number, everyone knows my children. They have every opportunity of larger schools both academically and socially, and have individual attention as well. The staff and teachers at Lee Elementary are committed to each child reaching their full potential and being safe and well adjusted. Parental involvement is above and beyond what many larger schools have achieved. What a great place to go every day!

Our kids really excel at Lee. They are both excellent readers, great students and happy little people. Part of that is due to the programs at Lee plus the care and focus they get from the teachers & staff. We've compared other schools and they just don't compare to Lee! Our input and attendance is always welcome. There is always a way for parents to be part of what goes on at Lee. Thanks to everyone there!
