Eustis Elementary School

The school itself is good. The teachers are not personable it's January and I have yet to speak to any of my son's teachers even after asking for them to contact me. Also, the way the drop off and pick up is set is not very smooth with cars coming in at 2 different points. They have a woman standing at the crosswalk but I've never seen her cross any students in a timely manner but she will eat Reese's all the time. The principle has cut me off on numerous occasions and pulls into the parking lot like she is in the Indy 500 about 5 mins until 8, I'm not sure maybe she should leave a little earlier instead of driving like a mad woman. Other than that the school is ok. I'm am glad it will be my child's last year here.

Blue Lake Academy is closing its doors after 15+ years of operation due to the economy resulting in low enrollment. This school has been the best Christian school in Lake County and it is heartbreaking to see it close. The administration, teachers, and staff are excellent in their qualifications and in their practice. They love the Lord and model it daily as they execute an excellent curriculum bringing their unique giftedness to the classroom. Blue Lake families loved and supported each other. It was an extended, close knit family. This school will be missed by all past students, present students, and students that should have had the opportunity to experience Blue Lake. Our school has been Christ to this community and will be dearly remembered and sadly missed.

This school is amazing! We began with kindergarten and ever since our child has grown immensely in the past three years. The kindergarten and first grade teacher are extremely loving and supportive and do a great job communicating with the parents. The principal has an open door and truly listens when we came in to discuss things with him. I am sure some people are offended because he always asks for parents to discuss issues with the teacher first, but he was supportive and sat in the meeting to help our student in second grade. The curriculum is advanced compared the other private schools our older children went to, but the faculty while small in number are huge in supporting students and families. They do not seem to have a resource teacher or people to do a lot of tutoring or behavior support, so it may not be a fit for everyone, but they seem honest and open about those limitations. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants a well-rounded education for their student with lots of opportunities in art, music, sports, and more. Lastly, the art program is amazing, make sure and check out their art night!
