Half of the teachers are not doing there job, my son comes home frustrated because he doesnt know what is going on and i have no idea how to help him. No feed bad of what there doing in classes, everything in MAth is at there own level. he is falling behind because teacher/teachers are not taking there time helping him understand. seems like they dont care much about making sure ur child is actually learning. As long as there taught there lesson , there done! Close Quote

We moved here from Texas and my son attends Leib. Being prior military, my son has been in a few schools. He absolutely loves Leib and says Mrs. Sigel is the BEST teacher he's ever had! I'm thankful we have found a home in Dover and he can attend the school he loves. Personally, this is the most organized school I've seen. Leib Elementary really has it together and always right on top of things! The teachers, office personnel & students all make it wonderful! Close Quote
