Lauderbach (J. Calvin) Elementary School

I have nothing but great things to say about this school!! My oldest had hearing issues and it was not caught by her pediatrician it was her kinder teacher and the school nurse that found out. They have provided and amazing support system for my daughter to cope with her disability. They make us parents be a part of our kids education and have great communication about everything that happens.

I don't have a rate because how they are treating my daughter leaves me speachless

I would never have chosen this school for my foster children. Unfortunately the courts would not allow me to transfer them to a better one. Assemblies are conducted in a strange mix of English and Spanish, report cards and voice mail messages were delivered in Spanish. My children were not supported by the teachers or school psychologist who believed a 6th grader reading at a 3rd grade level was fine as long as he was "trying" to improve. I wonder if the school receives grant money for having more ESL learners, therefore it's best not to make any effort to improve their English. When my 6th grader's Spanish was recently assessed he was told that he needed to improve his Spanish because THAT was the language that would benefit him in later years. Even though he is an American citizen. This used to be a good school...what happened? Administration is doing a disservice to students and parents by not pushing the students to do better.

I am a parent of a 4th grader and he has attended Lauderbach since 1st grade. There are two reasons to keep him in this school; one: convenience to our home and two: his teachers. The school itself seems to care more for the families who do not speak English and cater to them then making sure the children excel in school. My son is an overachiever and there are no activities for hime to join whether be sports or academic. I do not recommend this school to anyone.
