New Era Academy

The current principal is in no way qualified to oversee any child who struggles with a learning disability. There are numerous instances of open discrimination, deprivation of valuable classroom time, zero accountability, and consistent victim blaming. There is an outright refusal to acknowledge the adults in the school set the tone for kids who simply learn differently, instead choosing to engage in a years long power struggle over the need to be right, rather than the need to advocate for all children and their right to a fair and equitable educational experience. I have 2 other children enrolled who do not have those challenges and they have, thus far, had a good experience there.

We love this school and almost left last year because of the terrible principal but thankfully she is finally gone and it’s returning to its former glory. The teachers at Prep are top notch, class sizes are small, kids get individual instruction based on their skill level but also learn how to be in an environment with kids who have different backgrounds and learning levels. We have an advanced learner and also a kid with an IEP and we have been equally impressed with their classroom experiences. Also reliable, affordable after care and a lot of options for after school clubs, esp as kids get older. We are so happy at Prep so please don’t let the bad reviews about our former principal scare you off! Our new principal (as of 2024/2025 school year) is great and we experienced almost no turnover of teachers since she started last year.

Have taught 7th grade Math and are considering a full time elementary position.

Lakeland is a great school. They have a diverse staff, older experienced teachers and new teachers full of energy. Most of the teachers are very nice. They go the extra mile for the students. The teachers are creative. My children like going to school every day. My son participates in sports and the afterschool program. My daughter does the afterschool program and arts in school. The school has a great partnership with different programs in the community. My children can walk to the park, sports fields and clubs afterschool and on the weekends. I feel safe sending my children to Lakeland.

Morrell Park is good school. The teachers care about the students. The principal encourages parents. They have many different activities for the students to choose from. The space around the school is a little dirty.

this school is fun the teachers are very helpful
