This is a wonderful small, neighborhood school, where the teachers really care about the children they work with.

Posted October 8, 2007

My children attended L-E for two years. We had a good, but not great experience. Our family appreciated the close-knit comunity that encompases the school. The school administration knows every student. Most of the teachers are excellent. We were unformtunate in getting a teacher that did not tune into our child's learning disability, putting our child at a great disadvantage.
