Lake George Elementary School

My child was injured on their 6th day attending. I've demanded an incident report in regards to the matter, only for everyone to COWER behind their clipboards. I've contacted the risk management team, Maria Vazquez, and even Rocky Hanna. I'm sick of being given the run around all in the name of hurricane Ian generating a backlog of paperwork. How hard can it be to complete one incident report and render it unto me!? These impudent fools believe that this lack of transparency will only seek to protect them from liability. Yet, instead it only solidifies their intent to put their students AT RISK at the cost of tax payer money. To them, children are only bodies to meet their budget.

At this school you get remarks every single day if your child is different and needs more attention,little hard to handle cause he already knows what they're trying to teach him so he gets bored. Instead of moving him to the next level, challenge him and support him to get the best of him; they make him feel guilty and bad even in kindergarten! I'm glad I enrolled him in a private school where they were amazed by his level and moved him to the next grade! Hope they will change their strategy, the way they treat students and find solutions to get the best of their students instead of punishments and warnings........

For the first few years, our experience at this school was very positive. There were many incredible teachers who truly cared about their students, went above and beyond, and clearly loved what they did. Unfortunately, many of those teachers have since retired or left, and the overall quality and consistency of staff has noticeably declined. While there are still some amazing teachers at the school, there has also been an increase in inexperienced or low-quality teachers whose behavior and classroom management are concerning. Some interactions with students have come across as intimidating, overly harsh, inappropriate, or unfairly targeted toward certain children. There also seems to be a growing issue with teachers nitpicking or treating students differently based on personal bias rather than fairness and professionalism. One of the biggest concerns is that when students voice concerns or feel uncomfortable with a teacher’s behavior, they often end up feeling targeted or getting into trouble themselves instead of being taken seriously. That creates an unhealthy environment for children and discourages them from speaking up when something is wrong. Another major concern is accountability. When issues involving staff are brought forward, it often feels like the school is more focused on protecting employees than addressing parent concerns or prioritizing student well-being. What is especially concerning is that even faculty members and counselors who genuinely care about students have acknowledged that some behavior being displayed is not normal or appropriate for a teacher. When even respected staff members are noticing concerns about teacher conduct and character, it points to a larger issue within the school environment. The school also appears to be struggling with teacher retention, with frequent staffing changes and vacant positions affecting stability for students. This school has the potential to improve, but stronger hiring standards, better oversight, and greater accountability are needed. At this time, I would not personally recommend the school until the teacher-related issues are properly addressed, because the current environment is negatively affecting students.

Estoy muy feliz de haber llegado a esta escuela, cada maestro que han tenido mis hijos han sido realmente increíbles. Las maestras valoran a sus estudiantes, lo cual los mantiene siempre motivados. Adicional a eso la escuela ayuda a los padres también. En particular recibo clases de ingles de manera gratuita en la escuela estoy muy agradecida con todos en la escuela.

I wouldn't waste my money here. Everything my child knows, I've taught myself. The high school teachers always complaining about how the child looks at them, they can't speak to them on there concerns. The principal always goes on what the teachers has to say about the student even if its not true. But c'mon, its 2025 and probably 4 teachers speak proper English. I have observe the high school teachers they need more training.
