Featured Review: Parent says My review is different than others who have previously posted. We moved from NY and my kids were in the #7 top district in the US and #1 top in the state of NY.Lovejoy ISD was exactly what my kids needed to thrive. We have just had a great academic year!Their GT program is differentiated learning from 5th grade for core classes until high school.504 meetings include the student and they are open to all views on accommodations and what works and does not work for the he student.The high school is smaller but students are not only a number. There is a wide offering of AP classes and also dual credit classes. They are a college prep high school and very comparable to what we...Teachers are caring and engaged on student learning.Even my youngest who completed Pre K at LCDC this year thrived and is beyond kindergarten ready for the fall!All in all it is an exemplar education along with extra curriculars..
