So many lovely people but the administration are horrific. They are autistic phobic. They will expel your child in a heart beat due to their ineptitude by their own admission. Avoid at all costs.

I personally loved LCDS. If you are a student who priorities academics and hard work than this is the place for you. I drive 45 minutes everyday to be a part of this community.

This place creates competitive but more importantly confident individuals.

The students and teachers become tight knit but the school isn't worth the money anymore. It's become less of a school and more of a money making organization. The tuition rates in elementary have almost tripled while the quality of education has declined. The school just is no longer what it once w...

As a student attending LCDS, I can assure you that the previous comment is untrue. Granted, the school is very small, but the student body is not 'groupy' in the least, rather the LCDS community is one of the most accepting and encouraging ones I've ever been a part of. Yes, it is very tightly knit,...
