Lake Sybelia Elementary School

My 2 children have attended LKO for the last 3 years and I have had nothing but a positive experience when it relates to teachers and admin! The school has worked very hard to make sure as many kids needs are met as possible. Student population is varied and it provides a good environment for learning with peers from all different backgrounds and abilities.

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!

The school staff are very rude and nasty and the learning material is not on par with grade level. I have had several safety concerns with this school as well that I'm currently addressing with the school board. My AB honoral student has hit a drastic decline in both grades and mental health since starting at this school. There has been an unwillingness to communicate from both the teachers and staff. My daughter's teacher has told her she can only ask two questions a day in class. Don't expect them to properly prepare your student for state tests either as you'll be left with no study material, no graded work from your student, and they don't even use a planner for communication.

This can be a wonderful school for some. Our experience wasn't as great. The classrooms are really small with 20-30 kids packed in, making for a distracting environment. We also don't feel the value is there. It's one of the more expensive private schools in Central Florida and you don't get a lot of the experiences/extra curriculars that others offer, due to the small size of the campus. Montessori has always been a beacon for students who need special accomodations, but at this school it feels very rigid. Students are expected to stay quiet, calm, and listen perfectly at all times with no room for error or accommodation. They also don't have a good foundation/policy for discipline that helps the kids learn from their choices.

If you are looking for a school that really care about your thoughts about your kids education. King of king is the school for you!

Great school. There are 2 teachers in the entire school that i would replace. 1 in the lower grades, 1 in middle school. Other than that the staff is wonderful.

Park Maitland School offers strong academics and a dedicated teaching staff, but the biggest issue lies with the administration. Communication is a major problem—emails often go unanswered for weeks, and getting a response from admin feels like a rare occurrence. Additionally, favoritism is blatant; rules are not applied equally, and those with personal connections to the administration receive special treatment.Another major concern is the lack of accountability for student behavior. Bullying and even instances of violence are not properly addressed, leaving many parents frustrated and children feeling unsafe. This, along with poor management, has led to a noticeable exodus of students. The school needs leadership that prioritizes fairness, professionalism, and student well-being over social circles.
