Lake Myra Elementary

My children feel very comfortable at this school. This is what has kept us here over the years. My children need more, and therefore I need to search to find the best fit for them.

Teachers are caring and attentive, both of my children have been enrolled and I couldn't be happier.

Lake Myra has been an amazing experience for us as parents and our two children. The school lives, eats and breathes the positive behavior and support program (PBIS). I see major differences between my children and those that attend a non-PBIS and non-leadership school. Lake Myra has a fabulous combination! I have one AIG student that remains challenged and growing and a second that is getting great support in his problem area. Parent-teacher communication has been prompt and truthful. I highly recommend LMES!

Lake Myra Elementary is a gem. Every employee there is vested in our childrens education and well being from the Principal, Dr Argent to the custodial engineers. I have never been to a school where the teachers and office staff knew most of the children by name.The teachers are fantastic about responding to emails promptly and completely. I honestly was a little terrified when it came time for my twins to begin school in Wake County. When I spoke to the woman who was to be my son's teacher for the first time she saw that and said to me, "Our number one goal is to make your child feel loved and safe." They have. I feel that I have a team working with me to ensure that my children thrive in their educational environment. I am never on campus without seeing Dr. Argent or VP Tina Zarzecki in the hallways. The school has a Leadership program that teaches the children the 7 habits of highly effective people as part of the school- wide program.

This is truly a quality public school and it is a joy and privilege to send 3 (soon to be 4) of my children there. The principal is intelligent, energetic, and passionate about education. He is highly engaged with parents, teachers, and students alike, an excellent communicator, fair and effective administrator, and exceptional visionary and motivator. The teachers and staff are superb and friendly, with a healthy mix of new and veteran educators largely well matched to their areas of service and expertise. The school fosters a climate of positivity, openness, high expectations, mutual respect, and creative inquiry, which is evident from the first moments you walk through the doors. The classrooms are well equipped for teaching and learning and there are ample resources to help students achieve. Overall, my children have attended this school 4 years and the environment has been consistently safe, healthy, supportive, and welcoming for each of them, though their academic needs range from intervention services to AIG. (As a side note: my oldest attended a reputable private school for K & I would choose LME any day over this - that's how much we love it!)
