Although Lemon Avenue isn't a very diverse elementary school, it has wonderful teachers that truly care about the well-being of their students. The staff as a whole are very caring and respectful to both parents and students. In addition, they really challenge their students academically for a public school.

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 think he has no qualifications to deal with kids, he is generally guiding traffic and being rude to moms with...

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.
