My daughters have been attending Kendale Lakes Elementary since kindergarten. I remember feeling very nervous in the beginning because, as a parent, sending your child to school for the first time can be scary. The unknown can make any parent anxious. However, as the years went by, my daughters and I truly began to feel like we were part of a family.Mrs. Martha T. Jaureguizar, the principal, is incredibly professional, kind, and warm-hearted. She creates such a positive and welcoming environment for the students and parents. The entire staff reflects that same level of care and dedication.Elena Alvarez has always shown how much she cares about the students and takes her job very seriously. You can tell she truly wants the best for every child. The front staff, including Barbie, the security guard, and Mr. Hawkins, are also amazing. They help keep the school safe while always welcoming families with open arms every single day.This school has been such an important part of my daughters’ childhood. They have watched my girls grow up over the years, and it makes me very emotional knowing this is their last year here.If you are considering Kendale Lakes Elementary for your children, I truly recommend it. You will not regret it. It is a school full of caring people who make students and families feel supported and valued.Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

The faculty are very supportive. It feels like a close knit family environment. It's encouraging and supportive for middle school aged kids. I feel at ease when my daughter stays at her after school activities. Mrs. Izquierdo and assistant principal are very hands on.

I recently transferred my son to Miami Killian High and so far, it has been a drastic improvement from the school he was in which has thousands of students. The administration at Killian is responsive and helpful. In addition, there are excellent magnet program options and clubs to choose from.
