Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School

This is one of the best schools in the area. The staff is professional and will go out of their way to help all children in the school. They are friendly and approachable. I would recommend this school.

Do not walk, but RUN from this school. We moved into the area this past year and had three children at LFK. We removed them to homeschool for the last three months because this school is so bad. Our children reported that they and other students were yelled at, publicly shamed, and intimidated by teachers. They were also made to run laps for late homework. The instructional quality was poor, with limited options for extracurricular activities, and the environment inside the building was drab and depressing. We visited the classrooms on more than one occasion only to witness firsthand that, indeed, the children were yelled at and shamed in front of their peers. Speaking with the principal had little effect, although she listened sympathetically. Our one child's kindergarten teacher seemed nice; however the magnitude of poor behavior from our other children's teachers, in addition to the overall poor instructional quality, eclipsed that completely. Do not subject your child to this school if you can avoid it.

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.

Leslie Fox kysier, the staff and volunteers who work there are the friendliest and most helpful of any school I have ever known. I rate them five Stars.
