LCCS Is:

Diverse: Approximately 70% of our 639 students belong to minority groups, with over 28 languages spoken at home. About 35% of our students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

In Demand: Admission is through a lottery system, with around 1,300 applicants competing for approximately 100 open seats from Pre-K to 8th grade each year.

Successful: Recognized in the top 94th percentile of all schools statewide by the NJ Department of Education in 2019. Our robust high school admissions program secures significant scholarship funds and high acceptance rates into high schools. LCCS students achieved academic performance in ELA by an average of 18.4% higher than the NJ State average in 2023.

In Need: Due to funding disparities, LCCS receives only $10,530 per pupil per year in state funding, significantly less than the $17,700 per pupil received by traditional schools.

Sustaining Donors

Sustaining donors are vital to LCCS, contributing monthly amounts ranging from $20 to $200, or quarterly. Their consistent support is crucial for maintaining our aging facility, as we receive no state funding for repairs or improvements. Recent enhancements funded by donors include:

  • A Middle School flex space/ lounge
  • Updated bathrooms and classrooms
  • Chromebooks
  • Upgraded servers
  • Improved security.
  • New windows

Ongoing support is essential for future initiatives like new events, expanding corporate donors, and pursuing grants. Benefits of becoming a sustaining donor include manageable monthly payments and the convenience of secure, automatic online payments.
