I love the school and the teachers. They are really great about allowing the children to have enough release time, time to be kids. I have experienced the other side of schools where recess is not permitted and if it is, very small amount. The truth is that kids at Lemon Avenue did much better than the kids at the school where we are currently. They were happy and performed better on tests.

Just like few mentioned, Gabriel has no regards for kids at Lemon Avenue Elementary. He started getting involved in recess yard and he will yell at kids with no respect of their emotions.

I am very happy with the 4 years and 2 years that my daughter and son have been at Lemon. Experiences in and out of the classroom have always been inclusive and engaging. I have had very positive experiences with all staff and I feel like my students are happy and safe at school.

We've been happy with Lemon. My daughter loves going to the garden to learn about how things grow. I do wish they had sports programs and second language programs. One thing I do have to say is that classes are big. Sometimes 30+ kids and the teachers don't have aids.
