We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school has no music or art programs at LEW or TPS and the school district is building onto the football field. They don't offer wrestling for LEW or TPS just start in high school I guess. Really a disadvantage for them because other kids start in 2nd grade learning the basics. They could be better about putting the kids first. And that food they serve for lunch I wouldn't feed my dogs. Staff is friendly just clearly clueless.
