Experience at LeConte Elementary?
Hi,
My family is preparing to apply for the BUSD kindergarten lottery. There's no recent information on BPN about LeConte, which we thought would be our top pick (for the immersion program) but where we had a less-than-inspiring visit.
Are there families out there who would be willing to share their recent experiences of the school? Things you love, don't love, things that you see changing, etc.?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, our daughter is in first grade at Le Conte...she started in kindergarten and is having an excellent experience. We're happy to share thoughts about the school. You can contact me via my user name.

Our daughter is in second grade and doing very well. We are happy with the school and very glad to be there. Any issues we've encountered or observed are the same issues I hear from friends who have kids at other BUSD schools--generic challenges of public school (which is not to say private school is problem-free). Many excellent teachers, nice outdoor space, a cafeteria AND an auditorium. Other programs we like include farm and garden, monthly assemblies that parents are invited to, monthly music and dance assemblies, language lab, and PE (run by the YMCA, I think).
