(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - How with 2 helpers per class can students come with so little. I know that one helper "SUE" does as much to mess things up as help.

- If you are seeking average for your child, Lyncrest is sufficient.
The reason I am rating it 1 - is because of the Principal, Maria Corso.
She does not like kids - and is border lining rude with parents, providing the parent is not part of the PTA of course.
I don’t see why any one would chose this school over Forest, which fosters a much healthier environment.
