La Paloma Academy - Lakeside

I really enjoy this La Paloma. My kids have been there for the last for years and I have really enjoyed working with Principal, teachers and staff. When I have a concern, the administration listens and responds quickly. I highly recommend this school!

I am a teacher at this school and I really love my fellow colleagues and administration. I feel that the principal listens to the teachers and staff and he really is trying to improve the quality of instruction. The parents that I have the pleasure of talking to are happy that we all want to give 110%. I love working at La Paloma Academy.

School went down hill from 2003 to present. Kids not supervised properly. Teachers don't know where kids are.

I love my first grader's teacher!! I have heard that Ms Bryant may not be returning next year and that will be unfortunate for next year's first graders. She is caring and compassionate as well as an unbelievably hard worker. I see her there early and late (usually much later than the principal). I have appreciated her dedication and will be sorry if she leaves.

My children have attended LPA lakeside for 3 years. Other than a few issues that would occur at any school, the school is wonderful. The teachers do care about their students and their education. They always have time for questions, and respond to email's quickly. Teachers, staff, and the principle are always visible. My children have adequate homework and also a variety to keep them interested. The teachers take an active interest in my child's education as well as building rapport with us as parents. We take an active part in our children's education to ensure they are being educated. As parents we have to do our part as well. As with any school sometimes it's busy and understandable I may have to wait on a question or concern that I have. But I have always been treated with respect and courtesy on every occasion. I have nothing but high regards for the education (considering Arizona) that my children receive from La Paloma.

I enrolled my 1st grade student to this school and my experience with this school is somewhat good. I really like the fact that they give you a weekly agenda on what is going on with the school every week and his teacher gave him weekly updates also which I liked. I also like the fact that they had a free before and after school program. Its gets a lil crazy when we have to pick up our son because they call them over a walky talky and on 2 occasion for me it took 20min and finally I had to look for him myself. After 45 min I finally found him. Overall I don't think I will have my son attending this school or recommend any of my friends to this school.

As a parent, I'm happy to see my child enjoy going back to school. I really enjoy the teachers I have met so far and the new counselor.

Very good school. I am amazed at the sports programs and facilities. The school does a good job at keeping parents informed and involved.

My kids are doing so well there. My daughter was a little behind grade level and now she is reading far above her other classmates. The teachers really care.

Stay away from this school. We have attended for the past 4 years and have watched the school progressively get worse. Its a tale tell sign, when employees of the school have even pulled their children out and sent them elsewhere. Unfortunately La Paloma is all about numbers. If you care about your child proceed with caution.
