"This school is a gathering space for an outrageous number of teachers aides, who are either married to a Lackawanna cop, Lackawanna school board member, or are heavily connected to the political core of Lackawanna. One might even be able to look past all that, if at least a single one was qualified or friendly, etc. This is an awful place. Anywhere but here for your child."

"This school is a complete disappointment, I wish I never sent my daughter here it needs a new principal to run it. There are too many students for one teacher and rarely an assistant available. I would not encourage anyone to send their child to this school. This school doesn't take the time to verify who people are after initial enrollment someone was able to pose as a step parent for my daughter and have a conference regarding my daughter."

"Our daughter is a student at Truman Elementary and we are very happy with the school. All of her teachers have been outstanding. The principal Mrs. Fernandez is excellent as well. She knows all the students and runs a wonderful school. We have been very active in going to Family Nights, field trips, art shows, etc. and have noticed wonderful interaction between the students and teachers at these events. The teachers really care and promote good citizenship between the students. They also have a great reading challenge every month, and the disciplinary policy works very well too. Our daughter has been at Truman since Pre K and is now in 1st grade, and I am sad that next year will be her last year there. I wish the school went until 8th grade. We have been very happy here and would recommend it to others living in Lackawanna."

"I think the teachers work hard to help the kids learn. They encourage good behavior in several ways. They motivate the kids to enjoy reading and listening to stories. I think Truman School kids come out of there with good character and much knowledge and with a caring nature."
