Lordship Elementary is wonderful. Ms. Murphy is the Principal and she is so friendly and inviting. The teachers have so much energy and go above and beyond in their classrooms. Parents are encouraged to get involved in everything from the PTA event planning to classroom assistance. Students enjoy learning from their teachers and their classmates parents and grandparents. It's a warm, safe enviroment which allows students to learn freely. They have specials including Spanish language from Kindergarten. CMT scores are impressive!

This school is a hidden gem! My daughter started this year, and we couldn't be happier. The principal and staff are outstanding. The staff acts like a community and welcomes parents to join in it. The cmt scores are terrific. We can't say enough!

All five of my children have or are still attending this school. Welove it. The school is old and doesn't have a lot of fancy things but the teachers are dedicated and the front office is great. The best thing about Lordship school is that every teacher gets to know every student nobody gets lost in the shuffle. There is a real focus on literacy my youngest entered kindergarden not reading at all and just read one of the Harry Potter books in the begining of second grade. You can't go wrong in choosing Lordship school.

My great grand daughter who I am guardian of is learning a lot at Lordship School. She is in first grade and already reading chapter books to me every night. She is also doing great in math, spelling and science and looks forward to learning every day. The teachers this year have been excellent.

Our daughter attends first grade at Lordship. We could not be happier. Her class is small, just 16 students. She has music, art, library, gym and other activities every week. She plays outside daily in the wonderful playground. The entire school has 215 students, so it really feels like a family. The staff are courteous, and always welcoming and helpful. Our daughter is already reading chapter books, and loves basic maths. The school has very cool extracurricular activites, for example during the past week there was a fall festival, and a visit by a Sikorsky helicopter to the playground. All the kids got to climb in the helicopter and talk to the pilot. We moved here from the Bronx, where our old elementary had 1600 students, Lordship is like heaven in comparison. Our daughter skips in the door every morning with barely a wave goodbye...Always a good sign! Louise Ortega

My daughter was in kindergarten last year and will be attending first grade this next year. My son is starting kindergarten this year. Lordship School faculty and staff are courteous, generous, and loving. The principal, school nurse, and secretary are all attentive and responsive to parent concerns. Ample communication to parents is part of their day to day process. The playground is beautiful and lots of fun. We are blessed to live so close to this school. Having our children attend Lordship School was a large part of our decision to move to Lordship.
