I went to this school and it was great. The teachers are very nice. The school is well groomed and kid-safe. My friends and I go to Lexington and we sometimes just hang out there to remember the memories I had at Landell. Now the kids from Cawthon have come it has become more crowded. There are more rude kids because of the change. That, I don't like...

Margaret Landell Elementary School
This school has gone downhill this year. It is way too big and the kids do not get enough personal attention. And, as with any school, there are those teachers who are stronger and those who are just there, period. It has become like a factory, not the caring place it once was.
