This is one of the Best schools my children attended. They liked it so much they have insisted that we move back so they can attend the school. The principle is very involved in his school. He greats the parents and children when he sees them. The teachers are very caring and understanding to each child.

I have two children enrolled in this school. I absolutely admire Mrs. K. Smith, she makes learning fun and exciting for my 5 year old. My 9 year enjoyed being in Mr. Thomas' class last year. He made math fun and easy to learn. This year, my 9 year old is with Mrs. Grindle. Mrs. Grindle has many incentives which makes learning fun and challenging at the same time. The whole staff at Lula is great.
