Aurelia Cole Academy

WELL I MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2014 AND THIS HAS BEEN THE ONLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MY NOW HIGH & MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ATTENDED I COULDNT BE HAPPIER THE STAFF SINCERELY CARES AT THE STUDENTS I FEEL LIKE FAMILY WITH MOST STAFF & TEACHERS THEY REALLY LOVE THE CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY IM ABSOLUTELY VERY PLEASED ON HOW WELL THEY COMMUNICATE WITH ME & MY HUSBAND THEY ALWAYS ARE INFORMATIVE ON WHAT MY KIDS NEEDS WHERE/ARE I MUST SAY FROM THE FRONT OFFICE TO THE CLASSROOM I GIVE THEM A+ IN MY BOOK I LOVE THE SMALLER ENVIRONMENT SETTING FOR MY CHILDREN AND THEY ARE THRIVING

I don't know where to begin. My daughter's teacher was mediocre at best. She barely communicated. Their attendance policy is strict. Excused doctors notes mean nothing. My daughter was in and out of Arnold Palmer throughout the year because of break through asthma attacks and other issues. No one wanted to reason with me, so we're going back to her previous school. So note, if your kid gets sick often, this isn't the school for you.

We are so happy here! After coming from a local private Christian school in town, making the decision to bring our child to cypress was the best decision I’ve made for my child. My child found his love for school again. I am forever grateful for his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Shekarchi. She is warm, kind, and all of the kids love her. She is everything I could have asked for in a teacher and I am forever grateful for her. Cypress ridge also has the best PTO. I’ve never seen a PTO with such dedication and pride in what they do. The work they have done for the school and the students shows. We love the principal, Mr. Frana. He is always seen on campus and makes his presence known. Car rider line? He’s there. PTO meeting? He’s there too. I love how involved he is and you can truly tell he loves this school.Thank you, Cypress Ridge, for taking care of my child throughout the day in a safe environment and filling the school with loving and caring teachers.

This will be our last year at Grassy Lake. I would recommend this school to any parent I know. All the teachers my kids had from kindergarten to 5th grade have been supportive, open to communication, always available etc.

My son is now a senior been at Real Life since 8th grade, during his school years he has been to 3 private schools in Lake County, Fl. This is the best school we have ever had. The academics are amazing. They prepare them for college so well. All the admin are so responsive, senior year is hard and if I have any questions the admin team has an answer within a few hours of me emailing them. The teachers and the upper team is on top of it and they get to truely know your child personally. The spiritual growth they pour into these kids is irreplaceable!

I mean it’s alright. The school can feel a little bit unfair but I recommend it.
