A L Lotts Elementary School

Posted December 16, 2008

We moved to Knoxville 3 1/2 years ago from a small town. Our previous school had 120 kids from pre-k to 12th grade and moving to A.L. Lotts with 1100+ kids was scary for us. My children started Kind. and 1st gr. here and we could not be more happy. I thought they might get lost in the shuffle of such a big school, but quite the opposite has happened and they have both thrived here. My child had some behavior issues in 1st grade and when I began to worry about 2nd grade, I requested a meeting with Mrs. Lenn, the principal. She sat down with me for 45 minutes that day and truly listened to my concerns and I began to understand how very seriously she considers placement of children within the school. We love this school and staff and will be very sad to move on.

We have had a great time at Lotts. Last year my son had Mr. Whiley and he was amazing. He went above and beyond. My son had come from a private school in town and was behind. He worked with him once a week for half of the school year to get him caught up. He is a wonderful man and the best teacher we have ever had. We are having another great year. There are so many ways to get involved at the school. If you feel like you do not know what is going on with your child. Do somthing about it - Volunteer!

I moved recently to Knoxville and am very happy to say that my daughter, a first grade student, is having a very positive experience. Her class teacher, Mrs. Arning, is a wonderful, caring and enthusiastic teacher. She is very approachable and gives very practical suggestions for helping your child. Overall..., it has been a great experience for all of us. Thank you Lotts.

I have just relocated here and new to the school system. So far I love Mrs. Beckner and she not only cares but will show attention to me and my child's needs. My other daughter is in the 3rd grade and I have no opinion yet. I have asked for a meeting and the teacher who responded quite quickly. I wish the schools here had the resources that they have in NY. However, that is just a lack of funding not the lack of care. So far I am OK with the school. I will revisit the 'rate & review' when I have had more experience with AL Lotts.
