I love this school. My children have attended 3 elementary schools in FL due to a job relocation and this school is by far the best of all. My kids are excited to go to school everyday. The staff is great and the communication is outstanding.
WLE is wonderful both my kids are on honor roll thanks to their wonderful teachers that they have had. 1 of my children has had a difficult time in the past but with lots of care and help he is on grade level and doing wonderful. Sure there is always going to be something going on in any school you may not like but if you want the best for you kids WLE is it.
I am a volunteer in that school and I could not be happier with them. I think the teachers are great and really cares about each student. I would actually be very sad if I had to move and take my kids out of Wolf Lake Elemntary!
I had very high expectations for WLE before we arrived. Unfortunately, we have been quite disappointed by the reality. I 100% agree with a previous comment stating that the administrators are on a power trip and have an "I'm the boss" attitude. The use of technology is good and the academics are average. I'm extremely displeased by how much the children are shuffled around throughout the day. It's too overwhelming.
My son went to Kindergarten last year and I volunteered in his classroom to get a first hand account of what goes on at school. The majority of children that you meet in the hallways are polite and smiling. The staff is friendly. My son advanced academically with great strides. Is it perfect? No. Is any place perfect? Of course not. Am I pleased as a parent that my chilren attend Wolf Lake? DEFNITELY!
The principal and Assistant Principal are very unprofessional. In addition, staff it is unfair with children because of lack of supervision from supervisors.
WLE is plain & simply a huge a success due to the principal. As an involved parent, I can see the results in my children and the differences from parents with children in other area schools. Very high parent involvement, parents in the classrooms, in the cafeteria and events. WLE brings much fun to the families with special events throughout the year that the kids rave about . If your child needs help, you will know and be given the tools you need. If you're new to the area or just starting kindergarten, take a look -- interview the school before you move, meet the principal yourself or ask for a tour. An unannounced visit will show you what you need to know. You will surely see the difference between your current school and WLE! I'll be sorry to say goodbye when my kids graduate!
As a parent, I know that my job is to ready my child for the world, for those around her + frankly, I know I must attend school all over again. Homework, class projects + school events don't always mesh with my schedule + I'd love for my child to have more time for play. There is a reason the teachers in this school work your child hard. WLE works hard for the A rating and FCAT. The results are due in large part to our children's grades! WLE teachers will work as hard as we do. When a consumer is unhappy, you'll hear from them louder than any other.When a parent is not committed to their child's upbringing and education, you will find that they blame the school and/or teachers rather than look to themselves. When they do well, we praise the kids. When they do poorly, we blame the teacher?
Everything about this school is awesome. The teachers and staff care
This is the first year my daughter has been in public school and this school has the best staff ever. The school is helpful with your needs as a parent and a pupil. Great school and an 'A' school!
