(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Not even a one star school when it comes to faculty!! Be prepared for a lot hassles should you decide to enroll your child here at this school! Notices are sent out way too late, staff ridiculously rude and an overall a great inconvenience! One way in the school and one way out, since no one is allowed to drive around front to save time! Be prepared to wait in a line over 30 mins. long to pick up your child or choose to park at the grocery store way across the street and walk over to pick up your child in an effort to save time! If you have younger children in a stroller, they are not permitted to eat lunch with their student (sibling). That apparently is a fire hazard...although a wheelchair sitting right next to it, is not! All they care about it $$$$$...not the students! It's also a school that enforces uniforms...which is supposed to be like a discrimination deterrent...however will push a child to buy $10 t-shirts so they can wear that with jeans on Friday instead of a collared shirt and slacks(uniform). However if you can't purchase a shirt, then you must wear your uniform on Friday...now I'm not a lawyer but that sounds like discrimination to me! Doesn't that single a child out...which is what the uniforms are supposed to prevent? If you like to be angry with your child's school and love the hassle, and like issues to go unresolved by the staff, then by all means, enroll them here at Larry Smith Elementary!!
