If you think the only way your child can get a great education is in a private school.....boy are you sadly mistaken, and most likely never visited Leffingwell Elementary. The teachers are top notch and the principal is very dedicated to the school. If your planning to get your kid enrolled in this school you better not wait, the waiting list can get filled pretty quick and its well worth the wait. The teachers are very hands on and carry a relationship with the kids more than just a typical student teacher relationship. My daughter loves her school and always comes home with great stories and smiling from her days activities. Make sure to meet Dr. Blackwell (principal) from your first visit with him you get a great sense of his dedication to the school, teachers and most importantly the kids! The other great thing about this school are the parents....we all have the same objective in mind and we are all very involved in our children's education.
A public school, K-5 with a private school education! Hooray, the naysayers think that it can't be done. They should just visit Leffingwell.What a staff: nurturing teachers who still know that a kid's education has to have some fun in it, great principal and warm, caring office staff. Extra curricular activites offer a child a well rounded experience.
LOVE this school! Great teachers, great principle, great programs. We couldn't be happier.
Hooray for Leffingwell on recently winning the CA Distinguished Schools Award! It was well deserved! Excellent school with an excellent staff!
I can not say enough greatness about Leffingwell. From the principal, office staff, nurses and aids and of course the amazing teachers, I am forever thankful to be a two time Leffingwell parent! :)
An amazing school! From principal, teachers to parent involvement. I am a proud parent of a 4th grader who is doing an amazing job. Lefingwell staff and teachers have been amazing role models to him, and I thank them for that. Thank you to leffingwell elementary for such an amazing job!!!!
A great place for kids! The staff is awesome and cares about each kid. Thank you Leffingwell for providing our child with a top-notch education.
I am a proud parent of 3 sons who attend Leffingwell. This school is amazing! I feel like my children are given the morals and values of a private school education without paying for it. Leffingwell Staff show that academics are clearly important, while including funfilled activites that enrich a child's education. Go Leopards!
