All schools in the Washington Elementary School District are committed to achieving excellence for every child, every day, every opportunity. Lookout Mountain Elementary School's curriculum is fully aligned with State Standards. Lookout Mountain School provides students the opportunity to experience a high quality education with a focus on academic achievement in a positive, nurturing setting through a focus on the Community of Caring values of respect, responsibility, caring, trust, and family. Student needs are met through a variety of grade-level groupings and a pullout or inclusion model for students receiving services in learning disabled resource, reading intervention and gifted education. Art, music and PE are provided for all grade levels.  All stakeholders are given a voice in decision-making through a work-team approach in facilitating site-based management.

The mission of Lookout Mountain School is to prepare all students to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
