Read what parents are saying about Limona Elementary SchoolA runny nose is a bigger concern to the school than educating your child. If your child has the sniffles, a runny nose, or "red watery eyes" during allergy season, be prepared to leave work early in order to pick them up. And while you're on your way to get them, the staff will tell your child that you're a bad person/parent and endangered everyone by sending them to school with mild allergy symptoms.When we first moved into the area the school was 9/10. Now it's a 5/10. A few more years and it will be a 1 or a 2. Either stay away or get your kids allergy shots so they can stay at school and actually learn some things.
Posted by a parent on 3/22/2022The school is not very involved with the children, my daughter was beaten twice and the principal and assistant principal did not take any kind of steps to punish the abusive child, the school shows no interest in resolving this type of situation! very bad experience my kids had at school in 2019 and 2020.
Posted by a parent on 5/8/2020I found this school to be extremely unorganized and the staff is very rude. I made 3 trips there to register my children and all 3 times they claimed to need more paperwork, that was not mentioned at any of the previous visits or when i called over the phone to ask what I needed to bring. Then the day i had all information together they would not allow kids to start because the lady who enters students in computer was out for that day!!?? The trip there the day before they told me to bring children the next day so they could start and did not stand up to their word! How can it be that only ONE person in the whole school can hold it up??? And NO-ONE in the office will give you the same answer to any question!!! Not to mention the principle is as well extremely rude to me when i questioned the staff about not giving me proper information or allowing the children to start because one person in the office was out?? Needless to say I took my children and enrolled them in private school as my concern for the disorganization of the school I was not comfortable with my children attending there!
Posted by a community member on 10/4/2016This is 3rd year for my son in Limona elementary school i believe this is the best which could have happened to us as a family.School staff, administration are wonderful. Very welcoming, always smiling and addresses problems quickly.They are genuinely a great group working together to make this the best school in Brandon. The new principal Ms. Hewitt is very active, energetic and helpful. My son attended classes of Ms. Soule, Ms. Scriblito,Ms. Thomas, Ms. Kossow, Ms. Banks and they are awesome, outstanding. He was enrolled by them to Gifted program without any bias and was encouraged by Ms. Jurado to participate in music classes, sound machine teams. He lead the class team for Battle of books, participated in science fair and all because of help from school. My son love his school & never want to miss even a single day.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI sincerely and highly appreciate the teachers who have worked hard to help my child, but feel the overall policies at the school don’t address the special needs of high functioning autism. It’s like he falls through the cracks because he’s “too normal” for special needs classes, but “too different” for general Ed classes, and it’s frustrating.Parent Review4y ago - Yates Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a child that currently attends the school. Overall the school is great. If you are basing it on the teachers who do a wonderful job. However the Principal Janet Kelly is awful and I'm excited to hear that she will be retiring soon. Her communication skills are horrible. Hopefully the school will get a new Principal that will actually do their job.Parent Review2y ago - New Hope Early Learning

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs an alumni, I reflected of my past experiences from this school and how it made me grow in terms of academic habit. I realize now that this school does little to actually shape leadership in students. Throughout my time here, there have been no student-run clubs, afterschool activites, tutoring, etc. Not only that but the choices are extremely limiting, with no AP or honors classes mentioned and a slim selection of electives. It's a bubble for the real world, I was a victim of bullying here with my friends. We all experienced mild racism and or some form of micro aggression. After my time with that problem, it was resolved by having the bully ( a student athlete ) apologize in front of the class with no further consequences mentioned. The vice principal had previously stated before the incidents that bullying won't be tolerated but it did feel like he swept that under the rug in the name of the sports program. The school also fails to have a fair-game to all students, with obvious favorites being the athletes and students related to the principal. The atmosphere made me and my friends feel like the "black sheep". I would not have my children attend this school, you would be much better off sending them off to a public school. I now attend a public school and feel much more freedom with expedited grades (~4.0 GPA).Other Review3mo ago - Faith Baptist Christian School
