Laurel Elementary School

Posted: December 1, 2022

This is my second year as Principal at Laurel Elementary. From the moment I interviewed on, I have been highly impressed by the sense of community at Laurel. Staff are deeply committed and invested in students success, including students progress in academics and their social-emotional growth. In a recent staff meeting, a new staff member commented about how friendly our student community is, saying they greet her when she walks by even though they have not met her yet. We honor families as their children's first teachers and are always looking for new ways to deepen our collaboration and partnership with them. Many of our families have lived in our community for several generations, while others are new to the area. All are welcome at Laurel and we'd love the opportunity to meet you or speak to you more about our beloved school.

Laurel is amazing! The staff and teachers are incredible. This school has a lot of kids who are primarily Spanish speaking so not only are they learning new things academically, they’re mastering a second language. I think that’s why the scores here are so low. The staff at Laurel really cares about the kids and does their very best to help every kid succeed.

I attended this school when I was young. perhaps twenty years ago and I'll agree it wasn't the best, but when schools are supported by the tax revenues in the surrounding areas what else do you expect. The person above me however is clearly misinformed as to her children being the only three english speakers in the entire school. I spoke english perfectly when I was a student there; as a majority of my classmates did. As for her son not having to sit in his wet pants all day, clearly if he isn't intelligent enough to tell someone or leave for the nurses offive to call home with wet pants then perhaps he belongs in a different program. Clearly the child of a scholar who spells unacceptable, exceptable and uses used at the wrong point instead of saying ''not allowed to used the restroom''. Maybe the school wasn't the problem at all with your children. More than likely itis the parenting.

This school was unexceptable! My 3 kids went to here for a few months and for the open house play that the kindergarten class put on they sang their abc's and the rest of the assembly was done in spanish! That is ALL they learned. There were THREE children in this school who could speak english and all three of them were mine! Not to mention that almost every day my 8yr old daughter was told she was going to be jumped after school and my 6 yr old son was not allowed to used the restroom and was forced to sit in his wet pants all day long while both of their teachers ignored them! The staff at this school is nothing short of abusive! I am surprised this school has nto been shut down for neglecting their students! If you care about your children at all please keep them FAR away from this "school"!!
