Lynbrook Elementary School

Posted: April 8, 2025

Lynbrook Elementary is an exceptional school!

The front office staff are consistently welcoming and eager to assist. I really appreciate the health room staff member. They are always willing to go the extra mile to help students and staff. Plus, their great smile and good sense of humor can brighten anyone's day.
The administration is deeply involved in ensuring student and staff safety and providing an excellent education for every child. Their proactive classroom check-ins demonstrate genuine care and support.
The teachers are outstanding, constantly innovating to elevate student learning. With a variety of engaging after-school clubs, dedicated counselors promoting well-being, and a helpful monthly Food Bank for families, Lynbrook truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend this school!

I can't say enough good things about this school! From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth and care that fills the entire atmosphere. The teachers are exceptional—always going above and beyond to ensure every student is supported and thriving. They truly look out for the children, making sure they feel seen and heard.

The office staff and clinic are not only bilingual but also incredibly welcoming. It’s such a relief to know that both parents and students can communicate easily, no matter their language. The administration is young, energetic, and highly knowledgeable. You can see that they genuinely care about the well-being of both their students and staff, always making sure everyone feels like a valued part of the school community.

What really sets this school apart, though, is the tight-knit community. The families here are very involved, and it shows. It’s a place where everyone supports each other, from the teachers to the parents, to the students themselves. It’s clear that the school’s success isn’t just about education, but about creating a welcoming environment where every child can thrive.

If you're looking for a school that cares deeply about its students, staff, and community, this is the one!

I am a parent of a 7 year old that goes to this school. My son is in 2nd grade and he witnessed 2 six graders fighting in the bathroom and they didn't receive any consequence. My son has also witnessed older kids smoking and vaping in the bathrooms and behind the bushes at recess. This school does not care about their students safety and choices as I've heard stories from friends that their children have also received and witnessed the same treatment. The older kids do not receive discipline and they curse and fight with each other dangerously as I've seen at my son's open-house day. I've also heard that kids that fight or do other things end up doing the same things in middle school and high school, this school curses them for life as the kids turn to bad ideas. My son has also come home many times with a stomachache and saying the food tastes terrible, I now pack him his own lunch because this school fails in feeding their students well. I'm already looking for a new school to transfer him to that could potentially do the BARE MINIMUN that this school has failed at. I'm hoping for this place to be shut down soon as I don't want other parents and their children receive the same treatment. Parents who have no choice but to have their kid attend this school, good luck.

The worst administration I’ve ever worked for. Extremely micromanaging. Does not care about or respect their staff as individuals. There are zero consequences for extreme student behavior.

The staff at this school are highly effective. In my experience, most of the teachers and administrators I have been in contact with have had over 10-15 years of experience teaching. Some have known each other for years and have been student teachers some times of a colleague. Being a former Science and Technology teacher myself, I am trained to spot weaknesses in teaching pedagogy. So far I am really pleased by the degree of mastery demonstrated among the teachers.

Character development starts with the leadership. Jay made a deliberate effort to make it clear that helping families raise stand up citizen is part of his job. for example this semester, they are focusing on positive attitude and parents were encouraged to pay attention to the new vocabulary our children will be using as the teaching sticks. low and behold, just yestrerday at the diner table my son was telling us about gratitude and thankful.. now with the Thanksgiving holiday approaching I am not surprised. As I engaged with him, I could tell character education is alive and well at the school.

If there is one thing that this school has going on, it is Leadership. Jay Nocco, the principal of the school for the past three years is top notch. I came to pay attention to him when my son was still in preschool and I was agonizing about putting him in the neighborhood school that was potentially low performing. Then I met another principal in the county on a Bingo night and she was raving about him and how he was hand picked by the administration to come turn the school around. He hit the ground running and never looked back. I see him every single day in the hallway welcoming the students when the buses arrive. He is at PTA meetings and every single event I have attended. The school has an outdoor classroom, free breakfast and lunch for everyone, gifted teachers, you name it. The staff seem pretty happy and even keel. I am not picking up any negative vibe as I interact with them.

As I interact with students and teachers in the hallway, I can see all types of students and a variety of disabilities. The support system with dedicated adults, therapist, how students and adults speak to each other are all tell tale of a school with a deliberate strategy to acknowledge and address the needs of all. My child is a high performing student in many ways. By day 2 of the school year, the principal already knew about his outstanding reading abilities. in the sibsequent weeks, I was proposed to challenge him by putting him in 1-2 classroom where he can interact with 2nd graders too. It has been a wonderful alternative to the flat out gifted environment which might have not suited him right now. There is no doubt the leadership is very much in tune with the beat of the classrooms and everything in their power is being done to meet the needs of every single student.

It is just not tolerated. The character education in place addresses it quite well.

I am an educator. I have three children, two are in College and one in first grade. I have had my share of schools and the very unique identity that schools developed. I have nothing to say about this school other than a fantastic experience. From the front office to Ms Maggie in the parent center to the classroom teachers, I have experienced the utmost joy and desire to raise good children. I am so comfortable when I walk into the school, my heart swells with love because I have seen bad school. I am relieved that my son is in good hands.

My child is in first grade. The emphasis for homework is daily 20mn reading. We do not sit a home fighting each other hours on end filling out worksheets. The philosophy of the school is to work with the child on things that need to be worked on and to do so during school hours.

I am extremely disappointed with this school. I whole heartedly believe this school is failing my daughter. This school is 99% Hispanic. They concentrate too much on teaching the parents English. Having programs to help them have free internet, free computers, free Wi-Fi. My child came home one day and told me that they didn't have any money on their lunch card, (the majority is home made lunch) and they had only given 2 items. My child started crying, "I was so hungry mommy!" I was outraged!!! The majority of this school is on the free/reduced lunch program. And they only gave my child 2 items. Seriously!! My friends who have children in the Northern Virginia school system post about their child in there school plays, school dances, school projects. My child in the (3) years they've gone here, have done nothing like that. Because there focus are on the wrong things. I feel my child is getting left behind.
