Lake Placid Elementary School

My grandson is autistic, his meltdowns were very light . After attending the school for one month they locked him in their so called safe room. He was screaming I'm scared and they ignored him... Finally they let him out then called my daughter and told her and sent him home... This wasn't in his I e p. For him to be in there , it's never happened to him at his other school. He had night mates after that and refused to go to school, when you mentioned school he would have a bad meltdown which is very unusual for him and dig his face and bang his head on the wall.. we have never ever seen this behavior from him before, my daughter had to send him to his father's to stay until her Apt she was waiting on was finally ready for her to move into. Hes very happy now... Other special needs children also had bad experiences with this school....my advice to anyone thinking of going there ? If your child is special needs and you love them as I'm sure you do... Find a different school , for your child's sake.

Great teachers with experience.A lot of activities as sports and others clubs and after school program .If student needs more work with subjects extra attention from teachers and time is given.

Lake Placid Elementary school offers its students a variety of unique experiences. Its not uncommon to see olympic athletes, authors or musicians working with students. A variety of after school activities are offered for grades 3-5 which is uncommon among others schools. The teachers work together as a team for the best interests of their students and the administration goes out of her way to be a welcoming face for students and parents.

The 5th grade teachers are enthusiastic and make learning fun. The curriculum is challenging and appropriate for the grade level. The 14-15 academic year teachers are smart and know how to engage the students. The amount of homework is just right and reinforces the class lessons. My only criticism is that some of the teachers could be more empathetic to the students.
