Lobo is an amazing school. My oldest child attended his entire elementary career and now my youngest is there. The teachers are supportive and use unique and fun learning opportunities.

It is a small school so you have a real chance to know the staff, students and parents. I have found lots of ways to volunteer and get involved.

I recently found out that there is a American Indian Education program at Clarence Lobo. My daughter is in first grade and this is her first year at Lobo, she especially loves Monday's because this is the day she is able to learn about Native American culture. She would rather spend her recess and lunch learning about our ancestors than playing! She has connected with several other girls that spend their time in the American Indian Education program, and has formed some great friendships. I love the room that this program is in, it is so cool seeing all of the Native American artifacts, costumes and decorations, the kids seem to really love it!

This is an excellent neighborhood school, small population of children 500 kids. With wonderful teachers and an excellent special education program with one of the best teachers Pam Reynolds leading their efforts to help kids with special needs. I would definitely recommend this school to parents looking for a small school experience for their child and if you are looking at public schools CLES is a great option.

My son is in transitional kindergarten this year at Lobo and we love it. Our teacher is very experienced and employs creative ways of learning. The principal is wonderful and the school is small.

This school is the best. Parents are so involved, PTA is strong and our new Principal is amazing. We are a small school but very strong school.
