Ladonia Elementary School

This is one of the worst schools in this area!! I pulled my child out of this school because she was being bullied and the teacher and principal were unwilling to help! She has been attending a different school in the county since last September where the administration and teachers are supportive and very competent!

All of my children attend this elementary school and they have all excelled. My oldest son has autism and he has the best special education opportunities out there. Ladonia was not our first choice but after horrible teachers and lack of special programs for my son we moved here and have not regretted it at all. The teachers are great and Mr. Hopper is a wonderful principal.

This is the worst school I have ever stepped foot into. I would not recommend this school to anyone. The children do not receieve support nor motivation from the teachers. This school scored below state average that should say enough about the school. PLEASE don't let your child attend this school if you want your child to get a good education. I agree with alot of the other post this school should get shut down or all new staff brought in, anything would be an improvement.

I have 3 children in this school and I have been extremely happy with their experiences during the last 2 years. I have found Ladonia to have a wonderful faculty and office staff. The dedication from the teachers is fantastic.

I am a parent of two children who attend this school and I also work at this school. In my opinion it is the best elementary in this area. The teachers here are awsome. We have no bad teachers! From K- 3 you will not find any better teachers. We have some new teachers in 4-6 this year but the returning teachers are the best of the best. Everyone who works at this school puts the children first from the janitor to the lunchroom staff right on up to Mr Hopper. Ask the kids if they like the people in charge of them, they will tell you the truth. Look at the Teachers of the year.....where are they from? We are a star school when it comes to caring for our children and when children are loved and properly cared for, they are willing to learn!

I don't really have a problem with this school. My daughter is enjoying her first year. I can only speak about our experience with this school and she loves it. Her teacher is great, enthusiastic and pushes reading on her students which is great. My little girl is expecially happy with her teacher, class and overall experience thus far.

I have a 4th grade child in this school currently..I am pulling him out and enrolling him in a private school . It is my only other option.This school lacks everything ..Funding , teaching and everything in between. Please take note...Walk around your neighborhoods and ask questions. Most of your neighbors kids are attending other schools , for good reason! Beware your child will be cheated out of the education they deserve!

I don't have a problem with this school. My daughter has been attending this school since August of 2005 and I have not had any problems with this school. The teacher that she has is a very energetic and bright teacher and she has an interest in her students future. I do feel that there could be more parent involvement; however there is a high percentage of parental involvment in her classroom. Parents have to reinforce what is being taught in the classroom. That will help the schools reviews. I will let my child attend this school until she goes to the 7th grade or I move and I don't see the latter of that happening.

I have 3 children, one of which is in 8th grade and one in the 4th this year. I am very happy with my childrens education from Ladonia. The teachers have always taken the time to contact me regarding any needs for my children. My 4th grader has food allergies, and the teachers have paid close attention to what he is eating at all times. My kids have enjoyed school at Ladonia also. My oldest has come out of Ladonia with the knowledge to score a combined score of 900 on the college SAT during his 7th grade year. I believe that most of his capability was developed during the elementary years, and I owe most of that training to the staff and faculty at Ladonia. My husband and I have thought about relocating, but we have decided to wait for our 3rd son to finish at Ladonia. It's the best!
