I thought pretty highly of Rc Lipscomb until today. The office staff always seems friendly. Well today I had my Acadia in the shop and had to drive my husband's work car. I had to drop him off at a dentist appointment and planned to pick up my kids who are car riders. The car wouldn't start...We figured no big deal we just need a jump. I called my kids school to let them know. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get a jump from the office manager of the dentist office. The car started and then died on me! We have no friends or family here to help get our kids! I was freaking, and panicking I called the office again and they were so rude and inconsiderate to me in their tone and repeatedly told me they close at 2:30. Like ok ladies you never had a freak accident at a inconvenient time Jesus christ! We got our kids a little before 2:50. So god forbid if you have a accident happen at this school! I hope they read this and remember it next time a freak accident happens to them!

I used "school choice" for Lipscomb rather than allow our child to attend a D-rated school. The kindergarten teacher was decent. 1st grade presented an issue in which the teacher is a controlled micro manger personality. Her desire to control meant "inside" recess in which children stood by their desk doing specified teacher directed "dance" movements. Those children miss out on "free" time to relax and do not get to run, scream, play, or socialize because this teacher claims she does not "trust the children to play outside." Recess should allow children to mentally and emotionally rest while physically expending energy so that children return to the classroom ready to focus on learning. Furthermore, "Experimental research found that children were less active after school on days when they had no recess and PE classes in school" (Dale, Corbin, & Dale, 2000). When I spoke to the principal about moving my child to a classroom in which her personality would be more nurtured, I was informed they do not change teachers on request. A good school recognizes while some children might do well with a micro manager, other children do not.

R.C.LIPSCOMB IS AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL! BOTH MY SON AND DAUGHTER ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL AND EXCELLED IN ALL ASPECTS OF LEARNING. THE ENTIRE STAFF FROM THE PRINCIPAL TO THE CUSTODIAL STAFF ARE FOCUSED ON THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERY CHILD. THEY ALSO HAVE AWESOME PARENT PARTICIPATION YEAR ROUND FROM THE CLASSROOMS TO THE EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AT THE SCHOOL..



THIS SCHOOL IS A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR ANY CHILD TO THRIVE.

The BEST school in our area. Very family involved and the best teachers I have ever met
