Our gifted children are not challenged they are taught right along side with the rest of the class including special ed. My daughter is very smart, and there are so many other kids in her class that are very smart too, but they are completley bored. I want my child to continue to love learning and I don't want my child to give up because the school has given up.

I think that LGS is a great school. They are helping both of my younger boys that are speech delayed very well, I can understand them much better. They pushed my daughter to do her best and helped my son with his work when his depression got bad. The teachers are great and are there to help any way possible. There is a good music program at the school and there are not really any extracurricular activities for the younger kids. I think that the level of parent involvement is high, it just depends on the parents if they want to be involved or not. I like to know what is going on and check up on all of my kids, the teachers are very understanding and helpful when you have questions as is the principal. I also attended LGS and it is much different and still the same.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Kansas used the Kansas State Assessments (KSA) to test students in grades 3 though 8, 11 and 12 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7, 11 and 12 in science; and in grades 6, 8 and 12 in history-government. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kansas. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
