Crystal Lakes Elementary School

I love this school. It is a great little neighborhood school. The kids feel comfortable because they don't get lost in the shuffle. The teachers are caring and I feel like we're very blessed to have our kids go here.

Most of the teachers are fabulous. The PTA is amazing. However, I think the principal is a bit out of touch and needs to focus more on educational aspects and less on minor infractions of the dress code. I also think she singles certain parents out and attempts to "give them a hard time" about minor things. Unfortunately, it seems sometimes her personal agenda outweighs the benefits of coordinating with genuinely involved parents. The Assistant principal is quite good and seems to genuinely care about the students.

Crystal Lakes Elementary has a truly amazing & dedicated staff rivaled by no other. The principal, nurse, teachers, counselors and coordinators take their roles in the students education and well being very serious and do whatever necessary to provide the best environment for the children. While arranging a 504 plan for my son, they went above and beyond what was required to ensure his needs were met. Even the disctrict staff was involved to resolve conflicts and serve the needs of my son. I cannot say enough about this school...they are the best I've ever seen and deserve the highest marks.

We are a NCLB family from another school that was awful. CLE..... what a wonderful environment! I love this school and the administration is amazing! I have nothing but the highest regards for all the staff here. Teachers make learning fun, teaching is not all about the 'FCAT' as in so many other schools. Lots to do, always something going on. High parent involvement which is key... teachers are happy to be here, as are the students. That says alot!! I'm soooooo glad and proud to be part of CLE!!!!

My child moved to Crystal Lakes from another school that he was very comfortable with. The teachers and administration made his transition very smooth. I was very impressed to see both the Assistant Principal and Principal out and about the campus. It's nice to see them supervising and talking to students.
