Love this school! It has the feel of a small school. The principal knows every student by name. They do a great job of communicating what is going on in the classroom. The PTC is outstanding. They do a lot for the school. Their efforts are to be applauded.

Most of the teachers 6-7 do not have very good teaching skills. I wish I never pulled my child out of private school.

This school is great. My daughter started Kindergarten mid way through the year and I'm already impressed. I'm not bogged down with 'homework' on a daily basis. At her other school her lazy teacher would send what amopunted to a days worth of class work everyday. It was ridiculous! LITH Elem sends home a little bit and it seems like thery are actually teaching the kids during class hours and not relying on me do do it at home. Thank You LITH Elem. I thought I was gonaa pull out what's left of my hair at the other school. CHEERS

My children did very well at this school, we always had great teachers who were eager to let parents help out. Whenever there were concerns, the teachers addressed them quickly. We had a great experience at this school.

I have a daughter who just started kindergarten here and a daughter who will be graduating from 5th grade here. The teachers are wonderful and very helpful with your concerns. You can even email most of them, and they respond very quickly to you. The music programs for all ages are great. I have to disagree, there is a lot of parental involvement in the school. You can even sign up at registration to help out in whatever area you can. It has been a great school. My kids have really enjoy the teachers and the experience. They love going to school! I think that says it all. It is an older building, but that is not how a school should be judged.

We recently moved to the area last year. I really like this school, it is much better than the school we were at last year. They have an excellent reading program and the school really seems to care about the students.

My son has been with LITH Elementary for 3 years this year and I have been very pleased with the school staff and his academic progression. Though the class sizes have been large (this year much less, thank goodness), the teachers have really proven their professionalism and teaching expertise in hard times. Our principal is a wonderful person who I have recently commented to that I just love to hear her interact with the children. I have seen her in many situations where she has intervened or addressed a student/parent concern. She appears to me to be very involved. She, as well as the teachers, are so passionate about their classrooms and programs that I feel proud as a parent to be part of our school. Our school district is certainly struggling financially, as many are, but I truly believe that LITH has been able to maintain that community/family atmosphere.
