I guess there is no info on this school because it is so new. It was being built when I moved to Lyman 5 years ago. My oldest daughter has attend here for the past 3 years and my youngest the past 2. I feel LES is a GREAT school. The environment is very professional and well controlled. The students, for the part, are polite, respectful children. The Principle and office staff members are outstanding! Nurse Parks won the 2011/2012 School nurse of the Year award! There are some teachers that I would get rid of in a heart beat. But that's true of every school. And the good definitely out way the bad. My girls have been privileged to have AMAZING teachers like Jill Martin & Karen Cummings invest in their education. And they are without a doubt the "cream of the crop"! :o) If you are looking at moving to this area and are worried about the school, you need not be! I am confident you & your child will be very pleased with not only the education they receive, but also the atmosphere in which it is received!

I have one child there now and one that will begin there next year. I love the education that my child has received from this school so far. She has excelled tremendously and I feel that it is due in part to the staff at this wonderful school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
