My son has attended LRE since pre-kindergarten. He has amazing teachers who go above and beyond. He is an integrated Special Needs student. The Special Education department is top notch!. I have never run across a group of people who are so loving and sincere in all my life. They are fabulous! My husband and I are looking to buy a larger home but my main stipulation in the next home is that it has to be in the LRE school district or we are not moving! I would not want to leave this wonderful school with it's amizing teachers, support staff and principal.

My son went here for 5th grade and my daughter has been here for k and 1st grade. My son had a pretty good experience except for one teacher who he considered to be very mean. After consulting with the wonderful counselor she made sure my son got out of that teachers class. Once that happened he was much happier. My daughter has loved the school! She has had wonderful teachers who are nurturing and who are great teachers. The school also offers great sports programs that both of my kids have taken advantage of and have loved them. The new principal is also a very nice man and is really involved with the kids. My daughter just loves going to school everyday! It's great!
