Casselberry Elementary School

Very disappointed in this school that I thought would be my son's school, he started in VPK and just two weeks before finishing the program they tell me that the child is expelled for absences. They made that decision just like that, when most of the absences were due to health problems justified by their doctor with evidence. I had to lie to the boy saying that school ended today. A very unfair decision by English Estates Elementary School. I hope this comment will serve as an experience for all the mothers who start with their children in public schools and choose the best school for their child so that what happened to me does not happen to them.

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 :)

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Thacker and the majority of the staff at Red Bug Elementary. They truly are an amazing school. They put together so many wonderful events for the students, and it’s clear how much they care. Dr. Thacker even spends her weekends at the park watching the students play—giving her personal time just to support and connect with our kids. That level of dedication and love for the students is truly special.

Sterling Park Elementary has been an absolute blessing for our family (and our sanity). When my son first started school, he was non-verbal due to autism. Fast forward to now, and he is reading, writing, and communicating, basically doing things we once only dreamed about. The staff believed in him, supported him endlessly, and somehow made learning feel both possible and fun.My daughter is also a student at Sterling Park Elementary, and she has absolutely flourished. She’s growing academically, socially, and confidently, and comes home excited to tell us about her day, which as any parent knows, is a minor miracle in itself.Beyond the classroom, this school has created a true community. We’ve built amazing relationships with other families and with staff who genuinely care. This is a place where teachers know your child, celebrate their wins (big and small), and partner with parents instead of just sending emails with “FYI” in the subject line.We are incredibly grateful to be part of Sterling Park Elementary and could not recommend it more. If you’re looking for a school that combines compassion, excellence, and heart, with a little magic sprinkled in, this is it.

Horrible school! Registration was rude and yelled at me! When I said she gave me an attitude she said that I was lying and making excuses! Now I’m going to a private school and I’m living in the school zone! Do not bother with this school!

Our experience with this school's admission process raised serious concerns about fairness, transparency, and equal treatment. Decisions appeared to be based on assumptions rather than the student's actual abilities or the facts provided. I feel important decisions were made without following proper procedures or giving fair consideration to the documentation submitted. When schools act on preconceived notions instead of facts, they risk unfairly limiting opportunities for capable students. In my opinion, the school's actions and decisions toward my child were neither fair nor transparent, and felt discriminatory and unjust. I believe every student deserves to be treated with respect and without bias. I share this to raise awareness and to encourage schools to provide proper training, oversight, and accountability so that every student is evaluated on their strength and potential, not on stigma or preconceived notions. Families carefully consider all aspects beyond academics.

The sweetest and most special school. It has become like a second home to my children and I couldn't have better things to say. The school not only makes my children feel safe and comfortable, but they go above and beyond to understand each individual child's learning style and personality. My kids genuinely enjoy and look forward to going to school every day. The curriculum is incredible and I have seen such a difference between my young child that has gone to school there since they were little versus one of my other child that went to a different school for their first few years. I highly recommend.
