Sunset Park Elementary School

My daughters have been attending Kendale Lakes Elementary since kindergarten. I remember feeling very nervous in the beginning because, as a parent, sending your child to school for the first time can be scary. The unknown can make any parent anxious. However, as the years went by, my daughters and I truly began to feel like we were part of a family.Mrs. Martha T. Jaureguizar, the principal, is incredibly professional, kind, and warm-hearted. She creates such a positive and welcoming environment for the students and parents. The entire staff reflects that same level of care and dedication.Elena Alvarez has always shown how much she cares about the students and takes her job very seriously. You can tell she truly wants the best for every child. The front staff, including Barbie, the security guard, and Mr. Hawkins, are also amazing. They help keep the school safe while always welcoming families with open arms every single day.This school has been such an important part of my daughters’ childhood. They have watched my girls grow up over the years, and it makes me very emotional knowing this is their last year here.If you are considering Kendale Lakes Elementary for your children, I truly recommend it. You will not regret it. It is a school full of caring people who make students and families feel supported and valued.Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

Unfortunately, this school has been a disappointment. Considering the amount of tuition families pay, I expected a clean, well-maintained campus and a high-quality learning environment. Instead, the school felt dirty, rundown, and in need of significant maintenance. The classrooms, building, restrooms (GROSS) and landscaping all appeared neglected, which was surprising given the cost of tuition.Communication between the teachers and parents is non-existent! Grades are never posted on time so you are left clueless and wondering how your child is doing. It honestly just doesn't feel like a real school, education is lacking and teachers seem under qualified. Overall, I don't feel the school provides the value that its tuition suggests. If you're paying private school tuition, I believe there are better options where your child can learn in a cleaner, more welcoming environment with stronger communication. Based on our experience, I would encourage parents to explore other schools before enrolling.
