Lorain Community School

Debbie: This school is wonderful. Its more like a family. .Small classes .they teach manners and other things public school do not.
I am hoping they will have a high school soon as my grandson is going in 5th grade already.
Safety is wonderful. children are picked up and dropped at door with teachers always there with them. during school hours you have to be buzzed in and they have tv's to view who is buzzing in.
