Deltona Lakes Elementary School

School has very low educational level. After moving away from this school into a good school system in Texas my kids are much behind the kids here. Teachers don't communicate to parents hardly at all. We also have a sun with Asperger's and the teachers counselor and principles knew nothing about autism and/or how to treat and react to my son . This ended up being a daily call at about 9 am to come pick him up from school . I would avoid all Deltona schools if you value your kids education

I am a student here... I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. Its awesome! I totally recommend anyone to go here... I love it... Great staff,great principals,great food,VERY NICE TEACHERS! I have been in this school for 6 years I think.. Kindergarten-5th grade. I am now in 5th grade. Miss Vogel is my teacher and she is amazing! Every teacher is super nice! ;) Please if you live in Deltona,make sure you child goes here!!

This school has some great teachers. The principals are no good. They spend more time in the parking lot moving cones than they do being involved in what's going on in the classrooms. We need a new staff at this school.

My third grader is required to be quiet and sit in her seat all day long with little movement. Expectations are not age appropriate, and the teacher points out student weaknesses in front of their classmates, humiliating the student. I've tried working with the school and have gotten no where. It breaks my heart to have a child who comes home crying because her teacher treats her poorly. Add to it homework which asks subjective questions and then demands exact answers, and you've got a sure disaster on your hands. My A/B student has been getting D's and F's because of this.

I am very happy to have seen the great improvements on my daughte'rs reading and math skills. I only have DLE to thank! They have helped me with tips on how to work with my daughter's school work, while we work as a team. The teachers and staff at DLE are very nice and helpful. I can't wait to see what develops when my daugther goes onto the 3rd grade.

As a former student here, I like it. Great staff, great teachers, the lunch ladies can do a little better, and the special area teachers are amazing. I only had one complaint- the bathrooms. There are broken tiles, clogged sinks, and profanity. I hated it. What are these children doing to this amazing school?

We transfered to this school during this year. The home work is intensive and the curriculum challenging, but the kids learn. The school could do with better front office professional etiquette. They are usually not very polite. As always elementary school teachers don't like email or the phone. I continually suggest they follow middle and high school standards and move into the technology age. "Note" in the backpack is not an effective form of communication, not in the past 20 years any how.

My daughter goes to this school and I think this school needs some extra funding to get these kids the education they need. Especially in this economy!

Both of my children attend DLE and I could not be any happier with their teachers. Mrs Reynolds and Miss Vogel have been amazing. Also the office staff is very, very helpful. They are always willing to help and I feel welcome every time I am there. Administration is a weak but overall a great school.

My child has attended this school for 2 years and she has learned so much. Most important is that she has been very happy. Keep up the good work!

This is the second year at Deltona Lakes Elementary for both of my children. While my experiences have been mainly positive with their teachers, I have concerns about the administration and front office staff. I believe the principal has her own agenda and is not truly committed to the safety and success of her students. Some of the teachers appear to have their own cliques and are not all responsive to parents' needs and concerns. I am grateful that my son will be moving on to a new school next year and am exploring other options for my daughter at this time.

I have taught in 4 schools and 3 districts in central florida and this is the worst that I have been in. The administrative leadership is completely lacking and most teachers are over confident and care only about test score as opposed to the children themselves. On a postive note, this school can come together as a community like no other in times of need for others! I would not have my children go to this school! I would not have my child go to any Volusia County Public School for that matter!

Both my kids went to this school. The teachers are great and they are very supportive. The principal they had at that moment was wonderful and I am and was very pleased with my experience there.

This is one of the worst shcool I have ever dealt with in 12 years. The staff is rude. The teachers did not seem to have enough time. Anytime I ask a questions about the class room activites I am told by the teacher I do not have enough time. I would not send my child there again this is our first and last year at this school. I think the School board needs to investigate the issues here.

My daughter is attending Deltona Lakes for the second year now, she is in the special needs Pre-K class. Her teacher Ms. Ree and each and everyone of my daughter's team at school are wonderful!They each opened their arms to her and make her feel loved on a daily basis. The front office staff, Nurse Terri, her therapists all go above and beyond. I am forever grateful for all they do for her and love them all dearly for it. Great Job Ladies, We love you!

I am a volunteer in my daughter's kindergarten class. I am very pleased with the academic progress she has made. The teacher is very friendly toward both the parents and students. She makes learning fun for the children so that they want to learn more.

My younger step-daughter has been in Deltona Lakes since Kindergarden, now she's a 5th grader also my older step-daughter was a student here from kindergarden to 5th now is in 8th grade so their father has dealt w/ this school many years and Deltona Lakes has the best teachers & staff, I was told by her father & also from what I've seen so far I can agree w/him on that! I highly commend all their employees for their hard work and great communication they have w/the parents & how great they are w/the kids :) This school in my book gets an A+.
