Lakeview Elementary School

The administration of the school is terrible. They do not value the hard work of teachers. If you are a new teacher, think 100 times before you teach at Van E. Blanton. Go to another school because in this one you will work extremely hard and at the end of the year, they are going to tell you good bye without telling you thank you for your hard work. On top of that when another school that you apply requests the recommendation of your previous principal, the principal of the school is going to make very negative comments about you. It does not matter how hard you work at Van E. Blanton because the principal does not like hard working teachers. She will make fun of you at the end. Run, run, run!

Attended the fathers event and it was great

This school is the absolute worse! The school provides a very unsafe environment and no one cares!! All the principal knows how to do is write referrals and suspend kids! If you care about your kids safety and education do not send your kids to this school! It is the absolute worse! My child will be attending another school next year for sure! Worse k-8 in dade county!

This school is not bad but not good either, their staff can be mean,harsh and unfair to students and make the students feel uncomfortable, and the substitutes need to change their so mean and unfair if you seen them "ugh" the teachers are definitely not supportive or motivating that's why they're are not a lot of high smart kids in that school, I know school lunch is always bad but kids be starving in classes and the teachers just eat infringe of them the staff themselves don't eat the lunch so why serve it to the kids knowing you don't like it, kids should be able to eat in class especially middle school they have lunch so late so from breakfast to their lunch time you know how hungry they be, they need to do better

the star is for closing at 7pm and the school remain open certain holidays! I paid so much money for my daughter to attend this school for daycare when she was 3 and VPK aftercare when she turned 4. Her teachers are hard to find and they never contact the parent. My daughter never been to a field trip her whole vpk year and I would NEVER reccomend anyone to this school. My daughter still has never recieved her completion of VPK certificate since the graduation ceremony 05/21/2012 and no one can explain why I havent recieved it yet.....HORRIBLE SCHOOL!!!! Ive never seen a child complain about her teacher everyday...and she's only 4

This School is great! Sister Stephanie is a wonderful principal. Ms. Wheatley (Assistant Principal) is fantastic! The Pre K teachers are just great. Ms. Meg does a wonderful job with the students. My child has progressed this year so much this year, and he continues to make gains. My child has is an authentic zest for learning that I can accredit to Ms. Meg and her assistant Ms. Joanne. It shows that the staff genuinely cares for the students and their well-being. As is evident in the students love for the school. I am very thankful to God for this school and I pray that the Lord will continue to bless this school and allow them to be a lighthouse in a dark world.
