I have been involved with this school for 15 years, now, having had 2 children already graduate and 1 who is just about to. All I have to say is 'Thank God I am almost out of there!' But before I go, I wanted to give a huge thank you to the four teachers there who deserve my utmost respect and thanks: Mrs. Kelly, who is the kindest and most effective teacher I know; Ms. Johnson, a fantastic teacher and wonderful woman; Mr. Novy, also a great teacher; and Ms.Cannon, a wise and fine lady. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and hard work. I hope that anyone who is new to Lindop and has just embarked on their child's education there, will have the good fortune to cross your paths. Other than that, good riddance!

I think this school needs some serious Help....in every way possible. The administration/staff/board of education is awful! I would not recommend this school to any parent.

Lindop is an excellent school for any child. They have dynamic pre-kindergarden-8th grade curricula. There pre-kindergarten program, teacher and paraprofessional are in tuned with the children and their needs. Two of my three children completed their education at Lindop. There after school programs are exceptional, they have participated in Math Olympics, Spanish Club, Art Clubs, and the general athletics programs which included: Basketball (girls and boys), Co-ed Soccer, Volleyball, and Cheerleading. Excellence is their standards and they strive to excel beyond AYP. It is a public school with private school results! Parent of two children, class of 2005 and 2007

'Both my children have gone to Lindop Elementary School since they were five years old. Lindop is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personnel best to be excellence in everything they do. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. The Principle brings a wealth of knowledge and knows each child by name. She is a great example of a leader and make learning fun for the students. Thank you Lindop for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence they need to go out into the world! '

Lindop is a great school and is steadily improving. Scores are up and the administration truly cares about the kids. They have plenty of extracurricular activities such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, and band. They also have Friday Clubs; drama, poetry, etc. Additionally, Lindop has homework help after school. They even have a homework hotline to get homework assignments! The parental involvement is great. The PTSO has many activities and programs throughout the year and Market Day is a big fundraiser for the school.
