SOUTH LAKE ELEMENTARY

This school is horrible. The communication is deplorable. The staff hides important matters/incidents from parents. They do not accommodate children with special needs. Do anything you can to keep your kids away from this school! The state needs to investigate this school for the safety of the children.

Lack of communication with teachers. Some teachers very unprofessional. Teacher announcing in front of class who has to go to summer school or get held back. Constant bullying on buses. The principal is great and she’s trying her best but there is just so many kids and so many issues it’s hard to make changes in a short time. Hopefully it gets better. Office staff is also great and very friendly and tries to help you.

PACA is a great school. The strong academics challenge and foster growth. The spiritual emphasis facilitates a wonderful environment and the staff really care about the kids and go the extra mile. The school leverages technology in a positive way and plans lots of activities to get the kids moving and learning creatively. We love how much joy the weekly chapel is and how much our kids are learning about Jesus.

This school is a great place for kids but teachers do not receive the support they deserve. When a teacher tries to hold a child accountable to do his work, the administration offers zero support. In fact, teachers beware, this admin has dismissed teachers who have received great parent reviews. I know of three teachers who were dismissed without cause because the admin would rather please a disgruntled parent than require students to do their work. How else will the kids get the education they need? It's all about numbers under Gordon. The previous admin was far better. I would not recommend this school to someone seeking a job.
