I am very pleased with this school. My child is a rising 5th grader and has been with LFK since the 1st grade. We've dealt with a host of issues related to his development and the school teachers have been very involved and helpful.

I have a daughter in this school. She absolutly loves it. she enjoys going to school. The class size is smaller she gets a lot of one on one attention from her teachers. I feel I have easy frequent communication with her teachers. She is excelling at all of her requirments and the things she needed help on in the begining of the school year we were able to address, overcome and correct quickly.

We have a son attending this school and all of our experiences have been positive. The teachers are easily accessible and readily address parents concerns. There are very little extracurricular activites but there are quite a few PTO sponsored activities that offer child-friendly outtings for the whole family.

We have 2 children in this school and absolutely love it. We moved from Gainesville where schools where over crowded now or children are in smaller classes with more one on one attention. The teachers are kind and encouraging and everyone is friendly and I have never had a problem getting feed back about my children's behavior/school work. We have already decided we will stay in this school district when we move so or youngest will be able to attend this school. The Binnix Family

Parental involvement is mediocre. Overall, the school's academics are terrible...few extra activities. No enhancing programs outside of classroom for children that are above average. The teachers are mostly unfriendly, uninformative and unprofessional. We are very unhappy and seeking to move very soon.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, writing in grades 5 and 8, science in grades in 3, 5 and 8, and history in grades 3 through 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
