Carleton P. Lightfoot Elementary School

I have 2 kids at Lightfoot (4 years now) and it is an excellent school! The teachers are great and the curriculum is very challenging. There are also a lot of fun school activities for the student body and their families. The E3 foundation for education has started doing fun educational activities after school on Mondays ranging in painting classes to scrabble and chess. I love this school and the feeling of community here.

Carleton P. Lightfoot elementary school is a successful school because it has extremely dedicated faculty and staff. The school is very student and community-focused. The emotional climate of the school is very warm, positive and encouraging, and as a result, it has great parent support. I feel confident that my kids are getting a great education at Lightfoot, and maybe even more importantly, they are developing a lifelong love for learning!

CPL is a very good school with a lot of potential. Most teachers performece is avobe average, however there are some who really need help and unfortunatly our children end up paying the price for it. Hence we went from being #1 to #5 very close to #6. I am definatly concern about our childrens future at CPL.

I have 3 kids attending this school and have mixed feelings. They are very focused on obtaining good test results as well as the AR program, almost to the kids detriment. However, when they have had troubles, the teachers have been very helpful in finding solutions. We have had some great teachers and some not so great. I am not aware of much in the way of music, art, or sports, although the city has many of these available which makes it up some.

Top elementary school in the Etiwanda school district. Every one is really involved from the teachers to the office personnel.

I love this school because it provides much challenge work for students. Especially, the principal is so organized, aggressive to participate with all students' programs. My child likes his teacher because Mr. Yasuda is so wonderful. The principal and Mr. Yasuda are strict. We can tell from their hair style. Students need their help to grow well for education. Hopefully, he can stay this school up to 5th grade and enjoy his student life. Thank you very much to the principal and all teachers. CINDY CHANG

CP Lightfoot does have higt score & they work very hard in achieving them. The school has great parent support. The district in lacking in the special education program. The district will not support the struggling student. If you child is self motivated & can score well on test then this is the school for him/her. Have the teachers are great @ their job while the other half is lacking skill & in discipline.
