Minneola Elementary School

i did not like this school i was in the class of kim dison she did not like teaching i moved on to imagine south lake a school with a world class education all good grades but maintain a good grade to stay in the school i do not have to go to ese because i was ready to leave last year submitted by student

They should rename the school Reaves penitentiary. Hope the rumor is true that she's leaving after this year. Maybe then the kids can be kids.

The Pre-k teachers are very good with children as well as my daughters 5th grade teacher. Cant say much for the others! Drop off and pickup of students needs improvement. Children are rushed in and out of vehicles. Very rude staff at the drop off and pickup line. Glad my daughter will be moving on to another school next year! Will not be returning with my son for kindergarten.

I have two daughters who go to Minneola and love it! They do give stuff on very short notice, but you just have to make sure that you are communicating with their teachers, like you should be anyway. Both of my girls have had great teachers and the ESE Gifted program has been great for my oldest, which is why we chose to come here.

I personally hated this school. My child required extra help due to a learning disability, and her teacher did not want to do what was required to help. When I asked questions about her progress, the teacher acted annoyed and bothered by my involvement. They took a long time to return calls, and that's if they were ever returned at all. I eventually withdrew my child and sent her to another school where she did very well. I totally agree with the previous comment that some people don't need to be teachers.

This school was the only school that we thought would make a difference in my sons grades! I have 3 kids in this school, and so far my daughter has done great! I have 2 boys that are very active and are very outspoken, I have always supported that, but at this school I dont think that they like it very much that a kid is outspoken! They are not allowed to be who they are, and lord forbid that they get up to pick something off the floor...they come home with a orange!! The only issue that I really have is that if you cant deal with kids and their different personalities, then you dont need to be teaching! Just my opinion!

I think that Minneola Elementry is a really bad school My son was at school when at play time two kids walked up to him hit him in the privets and then kicked him in the ribs. I did not get a call home or even a letter. When my son got home he had bruses on heim so I asked him what happened and then that is how I found out. I went to school the next day and they only have the one kid a 1/2 day of in school supension when he is always in trouble. Then to top it all off they did not even send him to see the school nurse to see if he was ok. Also no teachers were watching him kids had to get the teacher and get the kids off him. Then about a week later he fell from the monkey bars and hit his head they did not send him to the nurse nordid they see that. After I complained about both my son got a referal for poring milk and juice out on his tray at lunch not making a real mess. But the kids that beat him up did not get anything. So what would you think about this school? I rate it a 0. Also when the take their weekly spelling test they have 31 words to study and 5 mysterious words they can not study. so my son ends up with a C because of the words he can not study.

I have 3 children attending Minneola Elementary. My oldest is in the 3rd grade and has been there since kindergarten. We spent so much time researching schools. We read online parent reviews and compared test scores. We finally chose Minneola Elementary and prayed that we were making the right choice. Four years later, we feel very fortunate to be part of such a wonderful school. It is always obvious to me that the children's safety and education is the highest priority. My children make excellent grades and love their school and teachers. One of my children recently had the flu and cried because he didn't want to miss school. What more could a mom ask for?

This school always wants stuff in short notice. They want money for the feild-trip and wants food for this brunch. Then they want money for the graution party. Then i have to sigh every test my daughter gets. So I give this school a rating of a 5.
