There was this teacher who used to yell at everyone for no reason. Two, actually. It happened when I was in 1st grade and 4th grade. Those years I wanted the URGE to switch schools. But now i'm in middle school doing just fine.

My son just ended 6 wonderful years with this school. It was an amazing experience and we are so sad it’s time to move on. Every teacher and administrator goes above and beyond for every student here. We are so grateful we are part of the PLE family! Can’t recommend this school enough!

I am very disappointed with my experience at Silver Palms Elementary, particularly regarding how the school staff, especially the principal, handled a concerning situation involving my child. My child consistently expressed worry and distress about how he was being treated by another student, but unfortunately, nothing was done until I personally made a call and became involved. I found the aftercare staff to be quite rude and unhelpful, seeming unsure of how to appropriately handle certain situations. Because of these experiences, I decided to withdraw my child from the school. Since transferring to a new school, he has been much happier, his grades have improved, and he has made better friends.It is important for schools to prioritize the well-being and safety of their students, and I hope Silver Palms Elementary will reflect on these issues to improve their response and support for students in the future.

I would absolutely recommend this school for K-5th grade. It was through a recommendation from friends and co-workers which were students themselves as well as their kids which led me to send my child to Lakeside Elementary. My child was not the strongest student, but the teachers were always there to notify us if there was a subject matter in which my child was struggling in. The teachers would collaborate on areas where he needed help and send extra assignments for him to work on if needed. I definitely saw growth in his maturity, desire to learn and improve as a student throughout the years. I have nothing, but good things to say about our experience at Lakeside from the administration, faculty, front desk, and aftercare team. I am grateful for our time there at Lakeside Elementary and will miss the love and support we received as he is now advancing to middle school. Keep up the great work and as always Go Gators !!!!!!!!

Coconut palm has helped my son and daughter improve their reading and math skills within a year! The administrators and teachers always have a positive attitude and know ALL of the students by their first names! I would recommend this school to everyone

This school is wonderful school. My 4 kids went there and they were so happy. Great academic and teachers fantastic… great principal…

I used to love this school and, prior to this year, I would have confidently rated it five stars. However, since the recent name change and the transition to a K–8 model, the overall experience has noticeably declined.There appears to be favoritism toward certain PTA families and their children, which has been disappointing to witness. Additionally, the academic curriculum feels inconsistent and lacks clarity. At times, it’s unclear whether there is a structured plan in place, and that raises concerns about whether students are being properly prepared for future success.I truly hope the administration takes steps to address these issues and refocus on providing a fair, structured, and high-quality learning environment for all students.
