John W. Luff Elementary School

The staff at this school are very welcoming and friendly. The principal smiles alot and always speaks kindly. She seems genuine, unlike one certain school on phelps where the principle and some teachers are a total joke and hold grudges against children.

The Pre-K section of the school is staffed with people who are ridiculously unqualified. They are not certified teachers, nor are they more than functionally literate. The principal takes credit for their few successes, and passes the buck on their many, many failures. The lead teacher takes classroom incidents too personally and maintains grudges against children. Documentation of incidents is sporadic and arbitrary, and is not regularly shared with parents. Paperwork disappears, then reappears, then disappears again. Some paperwork sprouts forth miraculously from the ether. Pre-K children are surrounded by toys and games and fun things, but expected to sit quietly on the carpet and focus on stories read in monotone worse than Ferris Bueller's teacher. You will get far superior Pre-K care and enrichment from Chuck E Cheese.

There are 26 students in my daughter's kindergarten class for starters which I think is way to many students for one teacher without any assistance. I also feel the school does a poor job keeping parents informed on what is going on at school. We get a weekly newsletter which doesn't always have the proper dates and/or times and even though we are supposed to get these on Thursdays sometimes they aren't sent home until Friday or Monday and I only get a day or twos notice for special events. They are not very clear on what some of their activities are either. This is my first school age child and they had a notice a few days before curricular night and said they hoped to see me there but didn't mark the time or explain what it was. I had to call the school that Monday to find out details. This school also doesn't seem to want to help my daughter with some of her issues at school. Because she is fine academically they don't want to help with the rest but they keep contacting me to complain about her issues! I feel this school is lacking in some very important areas.

The teachers there taught me better than any other school. They used real life situations and used things to show math application. I have used what I learned from John W. Luff almost everyday of my life so far.

My son went to luff and we absolutely loved this school.The staff and the teachers were great and anytime I had a problem it was fixed asap!
