Altamonte Elementary School

I really love it here. I’ve been to three high schools overall, and Lyman is my third and final one. I feel safe, there are many ways to get involved in the school culture, and overall other students are respectful to each other and care about doing well in class. If you hang out with the right people, you won’t have any trouble doing good here, but that’s with any school. I’m proud to be graduating from here, and really love the motto of diversity and inclusivity because it’s true. We’re always up to date on events because of the weekly newsletters from Mr. Hunter. The communication and environment is great :)

Wonderful school with incredible staff. Family involvement is strongly encouraged and facilitated. Small town school vibe. Best primary school in the district!

My 2 children have attended LKO for the last 3 years and I have had nothing but a positive experience when it relates to teachers and admin! The school has worked very hard to make sure as many kids needs are met as possible. Student population is varied and it provides a good environment for learning with peers from all different backgrounds and abilities.

I used to be a student here from kindergarten till the end of 7th grade. It was a good experience but the only concern is, is that there is barely any discipline for kids in classes and the school would not do anything for loopholes found by students. There was a website where they could enter a YouTube link and watch the video. I remember telling my teachers about this because it seemed like it was getting out of hand and they just said, “I know” like what the heck. Good school, just some bad things.

My son was at the school for several years and we left this year. He enjoyed his experience, but it did not end well. The administration is very unapproachable. The teachers are constantly absent and random subs are thrown into the classrooms. One of the biggest issues at the school is that staff students aren’t held to the same standards as others. Open a yearbook- the staff children are everywhere in it. This is a problem with many parents at this school and has been voiced to administrators many times. The staff children also win awards when they aren’t deserving. It’s very deflating to others who work hard and are more deserving.

Great school. There are 2 teachers in the entire school that i would replace. 1 in the lower grades, 1 in middle school. Other than that the staff is wonderful.
