I think this a great school with great potential. I have 2 kids attending Love T. Nolan and they both love it. They have good teachers who are always willing to work with the kids.

I think Love T. Nolan is a excellent school with a great principal, however I feel parents need to invole themselves more in their childrens learning and school. Parents need to speak up and take charge.

Very strong leadership from principal. Majority of good quality teachers. There are not many behavioral problems. There is an obvious lack of parent participation which makes the teachers jobs more difficult and weakens the impact of the PTA. Test scores are admirable considering the population. Top students may not be challenged in most classes due to the struggle to keep the majority of students on level.
