I think the teachers could be a little more empathetic to students. And there is some bullying at the school that doesn't get addressed appropriately.

The students at lone tree community school are taught manners and values they aren't having anything 'pushed' on them. I am an 8th grade student at lone tree and it is a great school with no violence and great teachers.

Nice small school with good values compared to the ultra liberal surrounding districts. They still have 'Christmas' program. The school does feel smaller and more personal. Having all of the grades in one building gives it an old country schoolhouse feel that America and her children are suffering from the lack of. Some of the teachers appear to feel obligated to force multiculturalism upon the students. My grandson's kindergarten teacher pushed Spanish onto the children.
