Lawton Elementary School Reviews

I always wonder why parents pay for private K-5 education when this amazing educational opportunity exists in their own backyard!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-02-02 “Lawton is an excellent school. They have many before and after school programs for the children to choose from. The enrichment committee ensures music and art is received by all. The PTA is very strong there and have raised substantial amounts of money to provide additional staff and programs. The staff is great there, however with any entity there is always one bad egg. One of the teachers is horrible. She is one of those educators who has been around for a long time and appears to have no desire to change. The principal doesn't seem to want to get into the middle of the situation. A few kids left this year to other schools because of her. If she would leave, the school would be a better place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-12-12 “My daughter is in 2nd grade and has a learning disability. Lawton is great at giving her the support she needs. Principal Ed Noh sets a great example as he is out there every day greeting the kids and parents and knows all of them by name. The parents community is very strong, working on fundraisers and doing projects around the school to keep it beautiful, clean and bright. Most teachers are very dedicated and go that extra mile for the kids. The only knock I have is that class sizes are way too big. The school district needs to hire more teachers and reduce the classroom sizes as too much time is spent on teachers making sure are where they're supposed to be instead of teaching. It's not the teachers' fault; it the school district's lack of funds. Welcome to public schooling!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-12-26 “Great school for advanced students. My children loved male teachers they had for 4th and 5th grades.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-12 “Lawton is an excellent small public school. Principal Noh has taken an agressive anti-bullying approach that resolved my 4th grader's problems last year (he is now friends with one of the bullies). His 3rd grade teacher, Mrs Wong was excellent and developed several techniques for him to self refocus and stay on task, and he is now above grade level in reading and math in his 5th grade class. The teaching staff has been working together for several years and developed complementary strengths. There is a high porportion of strong male teachers, especially in 4th and 5th grades, which is good for teaching active boys. The 'Unicycle' and 'Bagels and Books' after and before school activities are great for kids that are not athletically gifted or oriented.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-08-22 “This is a wonderful small public school. Currently a great principal.” Posted By: Quality Score: 5 2003-06-05 “In addition to getting an excellent education, the children are also learning to be excellent citizens. Lawton provides a well rounded, high quality education. The teachers are superb. Parental involvement is very high. There is a wide varity of activities available for parents to volunteer.”
