Philip O'Brien Elementary School

Philip O'Brien Elementary is definitely an A school in more than one way. The principal and assistant principal are extraordinary, the teachers are wonderful, and the rest of the staff members are always friendly and helpful. Everyone works hard to create a positive learning environment for the students, and it shows.

I love Lime Street, the teachers are super there and you can count on everyone for help. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else.

Lime Street is by far the greatest Elementary school I have ever had the pleasure to have children in (I have 5 total). I currently have 3 children in Lime Street and all around, you could not ask for a better school! **Note: Miss More is the greatest kindergarten teacher!**

I had both of my children transferred to LimeStreet and love it....the teachers are very compassionate, involved & devoted. Principal & Asst. Principal are great...all the staff are very dedicated. I have yet to hear of a better elementary school in Lakeland, and the fact that they have been an 'A' rated school for so many years gives testement to the fact that they try very hard not only for the kids but to stay up to standards for the State of Florida as well.

After sending my daughter to lime street for 3 years, I must say she had 2 excellent teachers and 1 good one, Ms.Bundy and Mrs Roberts are the best in the field,in my humble opinion. And Mr.Fields is also tops. As far as administrative staff go, Mr Obrien and Mrs Crawford are the best also. Our 3 years at lime street are what memories are made of

I think Lime Street is a wonderful school overall. I have 2 kids going there, one in 2nd, and the other in kindergarten. The teachers are very easy to interact with, and my kids love going.

I have two children in Lime Street, and we have been more than satisified overall. My boys cannot imagine going anywhere else. Principal and Assistant Principal are fantastic. We have had problems with a couple teachers, but were able to work things out. Great school!

Two of my children have attended Lime Street Elementary. The teachers are compassionate and have a desire for their students to learn. The main driver of this school's success of receiving a grade of A is because they encourage parent participation and a majority of the parents assist in their children's education. The principle and vice principle as well as the staff are very organized and it is seen while on campus. I haven't heard a parent yet in my neighborhood dislike this wonderful school. I wish the middle schools ran in such an orderly fashion.

I feel Lime Street needs more training in the areas of ADHD and other related illnesses. Also some of the teachers there need to realize there are going to be 'special' kids and not all kids are of the same cloth.
