Medulla Elementary School

This school shows zero pride or care in the development of their students.

Principal durham is quick to hang up on you if she doesn't agree with your argument before really listening. I dont appreciate that to say she is a good principal.

I used to go here but they kicked my out for no reason and I couldn't say bye to my friends and classmates. This was 3 years ago. And kids threw chairs sometimes when they got mad.

It's a good school, how ever the school principal is rude and has favoritism of who he allows to do what they want at the school. He has had multiple incounters with me and when he has an issue with me he know who I am and my kids, but when I disagree with him and challenge his "policies" I'm a complete stranger and has a rude remark to make.

I'm a grandparent of seven students at Saint Paul Lutheran in Lakeland, Florida. My family has been a part of Saint Pauls since 2012. I am also a 20 year employee at a large high school here in Lakeland and we were always excited when Saint Paul graduates came to our school. in the last three years under the new administration the school is not what it once was. The amount of teachers, great teachers that have left under this new principal tenure (who has been here three years)is so disappointing. In my opinion, the leadership at this time is very weak, poor in discipline very unsupportive of teachers. At this time, I could not recommend anyone to go to Saint Pauls.

Our experience with Resurrection Catholic School has been deeply disappointing.As parents, we enrolled our child hoping for a supportive, faith-based learning environment where communication, compassion, and collaboration would be priorities. Unfortunately, our experience has not reflected that.Throughout our time with the school, we have faced ongoing challenges with communication, follow-through, and support for our child’s educational needs. When concerns were raised, we often felt that we received explanations instead of solutions. As parents trying to advocate for our child, we expected a more proactive and transparent partnership.The most difficult part has been feeling that our child’s needs were not fully understood or supported in a meaningful way. For families with children who may need additional learning support, patience, individualized attention, or clear communication, I would strongly encourage asking very direct questions before enrolling.The transition process to another school has also been frustrating. We were told the school could not complete administrator or teacher evaluation/reference forms due to Diocese of Orlando policy, but we were not provided with clear policy details or practical guidance to help move the application forward. During a sensitive transition, families deserve clarity, cooperation, and professionalism.Overall, our experience has left us feeling unsupported and disappointed. I hope Resurrection Catholic School improves how it communicates with families, responds to children with additional needs, and supports parents who are simply trying to make the best educational decisions for their child.
