Lydia Jackson Elementary School
I despise this school. Last year there was an incident with my child that was never shared with me because they felt that it had been taken care of. I have known several children who have gone to this school, even when the economy was well, and the teaching style has not improved. The only reason my child is in this school still is because I was denied by the school district to have him moved. I would NEVER recommend this school to another parent. They are horrible here.

This school is very cool, my daughter is in kinder and she enjoys going every day to class, as with the other school she used to go to, she never wanted to go, we would always have problems with her in the morning to get her to get ready.
