Lacoste Elementary School

This school, like any other has its share of great teachers and not so great teachers. The one thing I can say for the district as a whole is that children are more than a number or a test score. Children are what drives this district. Personally, after removing my children from a Northside school because of bullying and lack of learning, one of my daughters went from failing in Northside to an honors student in one year because she had teachers who cared. My other went from a kinder reading level in second grade to a third grade level in one year, again because her teacher cared.

This school seems to be good but they need better security because I see that anyone can just walk in and out of the school without being identified at the entrance of the school. Also my child has a LD and the teacher that is known as a behavior teacher terrifies my child.

This year with a new administrative staff, this year will be the best for my kids. I've already been in touch with the principle and you can see she really cares about the students and is willing to help me with my sons LD to get him the things he needs to be successful.

Excellent school, my grandson has special needs in reading and spelling and they have done a fantastic job.
