I am very surprised by the 4 star rating on this school. Both my kids have done really well here and both are happy. There must be an error in this rating.

I am extremely disappointed with my child’s experience with this teacher Megan Vidaurri Throughout the school year, we felt the classroom environment was not supportive or encouraging. Instead of helping my child succeed, the interactions we experienced felt condescending, dismissive, and discouraging.A teacher’s role is to guide students, provide support, and create a classroom where every student feels respected and valued. Unfortunately, our experience left my child feeling unsupported and unheard.I also have serious concerns about whether all students were being treated fairly and equally. Some of the interactions and experiences raised concerns for our family about bias and possible discriminatory treatment.Parents trust teachers with their children’s education and well-being. When that trust is affected, it is important to speak up and advocate for students. I hope this feedback encourages reflection, accountability, and a commitment to ensuring every student is treated with respect and given a fair opportunity to succeed. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage parents to carefully consider their options and ask questions before placing their child in this teacher’s classroom. A good education requires a teacher who is supportive, respectful, and invested in helping students succeed. Unfortunately, that was not the experience my child had.

Lake Elementary has been nothing but a top tier school. Great teachers, families, and students. I've been on campus to volunteer on multiple occasions and then feeling tone is very positive and welcoming.
