Lost Lake Elementary School

I have a child in ESE attending this school since 2010 when I moved to Clermont and I am so happy with my choice in this school. Miss R. Williams is the best!! You can tell she has genuine love and interest in her students and that she is looking beyond their disabilities and focusing on their potential. We need more teachers like her working with special needs students!

The teacher and staffs are great at this school. I love how much they care about the students. Haven't had a bad teacher yet in the 5 years we have been at this school. The PTO on the other hand needs help. The ladies have been on the PTO too long and won't let anyone new in. IT's sad.

My sons first grade teacher, Mrs. Harris was very compassionate, caring and firm. My son was taught in a less stressful environment in the classroom. Most of the staff were very nice and helpful when I had questions. The principal Mrs. Boyd seemed very short with her answers when I had questions. This is an excellent elementary school overall.

I love this school because most of the staff is friendly. I love my son's Kindergarten Teacher, Ms. Nancy Moody. She is amazing. She always goes beyond the expectations. She is by far the best Kindergarten teacher! She actually had a Mother's Day party for all the mom's of her students. The children did a bunch of songs for us and served us treats and drinks. Loved it!

I am pleased to have my children attend Lost Lake. Before moving to Clermont, I researched all elementary schools and bought a house in this school s zone based mainly on their school grades. After being a part of this school for three years now, I have to say I have been more than pleased with the staff, administration and the teachers. Most important, my children enjoy being a part of Lost Lake!

My child attended this school from K-1st. I do admit that the school does well on their FCAT results, which was a draw for me as a new parent to the area. I was very disappointed with the lack of parental involvement especially with PTO and the poor service provided by the front office staff. The school is overcrowded! The morning drop off/afternoon pick up is a nightmare! Most importantly for children who excel the educational opportunities are limited. My child is no longer at this school.

Lost Lake Elementary is a well organized school. They are always prompt to give important information. The staff is wonderful and always greet you with a smile. I am so pleased with all my K and Pre-K has learned through out the year. If you are looking for an A school, I would reccomend Lost Lake for your children.

I started homeschooling my daughter in February because I was completely fed up with the adminstration of this school. The administrators as well as several office staff were extremely rude on many occassions for no reason. This is a huge problem. It also seems this school focuses more on passing the FCATs then actually teaching the kids. The pressure is unbelievable and my daughter was only in Kindergarten! I worked as an elementary school teacher in a public school for many years and I know that Lost Lake is a very poor school. I never desired to homeschool my daughter but I could not keep her in that horrible environment.

After reading the previous postings of parents, I must agree that the front office staff could use some customer service training, as they do not project a positive attitude. In some cases, they are down right rude. I also agree about the lack of classes for advanced students and lack of extra curricular activities. Judging from parents reviews, the school and it's staff seem to be declining, as they scored great in 2005 and 2006 but began receiving negative comments in 2007 and the trend has continued. Maybe they have become complacent. Fortunately, we are in our last year here and will move on to hopefully better things next year.

I would rate this school as an okay school. The staff could work on their manners a bit more. The teachers seem to be friendly though.
