Lake Rim Elementary School

Im a student and Ima say......Please send your kids to Bill Hefner. Please this school does nothing. And my old teacher was mean. So please send them to BHES

Both of my children have attended LRES at various time. I agree that the testing scores have seen a downward spiral, however I feel as though the staff should not take blame entirely for this. We as parents must GET involved and STAY involved. The budget cuts over the last several years has greaterly reduced the resources that the staff can pull from. I realize that many might think that a child can still learn, yet we must remember that just has it takes money to live, it takes money to educate our children. Stop blaming and search for resolutions. ce

I have 4 boys which during the past 5 yrs have been attending lake rim. I used to love this school and hated to move out of the district. Mrs. Jackson is wonderful but since she has been principle I have seen a lot of changes that slowly has made a down fall. As of last year I was excited about moving my children out of the district and giving another school a chance.

My son has been attending Lake Rim since 1st grade and is now in 5th grade. Every year has been an excellent experience. The teachers are dedicated and go above and beyond to help my child succeed. While I believe that all the teachers at Lake Rim are wonderful, I can only comment on my personal experience. The vertical team is a program provided for accelerated students in grades 3-5. These teachers as well as the AIG teacher are top notch. My child has been challenged and there is no doubt that he is prepared for middle school. There are schools in Cumberland county that may have better test scores. This is not always the best judge of the quality of education a school provides. I believe that a school experience is successful when parents are willing to help instill at home what the child is learning at school. Lake Rim cares for each child and wants to see them succeed. This is only possible with parent support.

This is my daughters first year in school, and I must say I am very pleased with this school. Dr. Jackson holds her teachers to a high standard which in return makes them hold our children to a higher standard and I love it!

So far we love this school. This our daughters first year in a public school (she transferred from a DOD school) and she loves it. She had to adjust b/c the teaching styles, rules and the school just as a whole b/c things are done differently but I hear no complaints frome her. As a parent I have no complaints either. The curriculum is on point and the test scores reflect that. The school spirit and energy is felt as soon as you walk in the door. Most important the Principal is always available to the parents and interacting w/the students and teachers. Love it love it!

Lake Rim is a pretty good school but needs to work on some things. Curriculum is one thing that they do have together. i also love the fact that it is an accelerated school

We actually moved out of district this year and I had to apply through Cumberland County to keep my daughter in Lake Rim. But I love the school and she is so confident and comfortable there, I couldnt move her. They approved, and I'm responsible for her transportation but its all worth to know your child is getting the best. My step-daughter goes to another school in Cumberland County, and they are no comparrison to Lake Rim. I wish she was able to attend Lake Rim as well.
