My kids moved from an A grade school to Sunblaze she had difficulty reading she can read fluently because of the help of her teacher From Sunblaze. The school communicates with parents and works with every student.

I'm gonna try to keep this as brief as possible. I cannot only say that Lake Nona Middle School is a bad choice for your kid, but I can also say, from experience, that it is a dangerous choice for your child, especially if that child has a medical condition. My daughter started at LNMS in 2022. She is a diabetic. I did my due diligence in setting up a meeting with the principal and VP to discuss her needs and their approach to diabetic care. There was no nurse, and the "health aide" they had there at the time had no medical training (and, as a side note, was probably the most unpleasant woman I've ever met.) During our meeting, which should have been a 504 meeting since she had an active 504 from her last school but they had no interest in talking about that, the principal and VP could not have been LESS interested. The VP spent the majority of the meeting scrolling through her phone, ignoring us. My daughter has a learning disability and hearing loss in addition to T1D. This was ALL outlined in her 504 and her health plan. They would not let her carry emergency glucagon. Not a SINGLE teacher allowed her to sit near them in the classrooms so she could hear better. When she had to go to the health room to get dosed for lunch, as they required her to do, she was met with either an empty room or a "health aide" who was outwardly hostile to her, even telling her, "I'm tired of you coming down here" at one point. She struggled to finish her lunch quickly, because she had to wait to be dosed, and the lunch room monitors bullied her regularly, asking her why she was "so slow" and not allowing her to finish despite having dosed for the food.Now, it is obvious my daughter has some differences. She has a condition that causes extreme short stature. There was not a single teacher there (outside of her theater teacher) who stepped forward to advocate for or protect my kid in a school with about 2500 kids in it. It all came to a head when they abandoned her in a locker room during a critical hypoglycemic episode. Her health plan said she had to be accompanied when treating a low, but they ignored it. When I rushed to the school (because her Dexcom told me she was in trouble), they couldn't find her. They straight-up LOST my kid. We unenrolled her immediately. We ended up moving CROSS COUNTRY to get out of the Florida Public School system. If that's not an option for you, I would suggest homeschooling if your child has ANY needs. I can never recommend LNMS.

This is the worst school ever. It was originally built to accommodate 2,600 students, but currently has almost 6,000. That alone tells you a lot about the school. The staff are very rude to both parents and students. Kids spend a lot of time in the cafeteria because there often aren't any teachers available. When teachers do show up, they’re usually in a bad mood and treat the students like criminals.We bought a house in Laureate Park because we were told the school was supposed to be good. Who can afford a private school are lucky. Most people here are very upset with the school.
