Dear LFE Families,
🎉 We have SO MUCH to celebrate with our 2025–2026 SC School Report Card results! 🎉
While our overall school rating is GOOD, our Leopards made INCREDIBLE gains in FOUR of our five report card areas! 🌟
🚀 School Climate: Up TWO levels from Average to EXCELLENT!
📈 Multilingual Learners: Up ONE level from Below Average to Average!
🌟 Academic Achievement: Up ONE level from Good to EXCELLENT! What an AMAZING accomplishment!
🎯 Preparing for Success: Up ONE level from Average to Good!
🏆 We are especially proud to have earned EXCELLENT ratings in both Academic Achievement and School Climate! These are tremendous accomplishments and reflect the positive things happening throughout our school!
These results are a testament to the dedication of our incredible teachers and staff, the hard work of our students, and the continued support of our amazing families. It truly takes all of us working together!

At Lake Forest Elementary, we use Conscious Discipline to help students develop the social-emotional skills needed for success in school and life. Through daily practices and routines, students learn to manage emotions, build positive relationships, solve problems, and make responsible choices. These skills help create a safe, caring, and connected learning environment where every child can learn, grow, lead, and succeed.
