Stone Lakes Elementary School

This school is excellent. This is the 3rd state my kids have gone to school in and we are impressed. I cannot express how caring the staff and teachers are. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. The class sizes are small and the teachers care so much about each child's progress. It is very easy to communicate with them about any questions or concerns. We love it!

The previous parent must be talking about another school. I have had a child at Stone Lakes for 4 years now. It is the best school in the District. It has the best teachers. Dr. Kennerly has been at Stone Lakes for two years and has brought our school up from a mediocre A to the No. 1 school in the District one year and No.2 another year. Also, Stone Lakes is one of the top 100 schools in the state of Florida. Thanks, Dr. Kennerly for your strong leadership and vision in caring for our school, our teachers, and our students.

Worst school in the world, such a disappointment after attending Avalon Elementary School which was excellent. Dr. Kennerly is a horrible principal in my opinion and should be replaced. All she cares about are test scores. She does not take the time to make sure the teachers are doing their job correctly. She does not return phone calls. There is also over crowding. She may fire a teacher with no replacement ready. In the meantime, kids are crowded into other existing classrooms. It is very uncomfortable for the students. The school is the complete opposite of Avalon Elementary which is excellent. That school has a true Captain. I wish the zoning had not changed. Don't move to Stoney Brook, or be prepared to home school. The homework will take a few hours nightly and you will see your child learns best from you. The teachers don't teach there. The teachers don't really care, maybe just about losing their jobs. Kids are simply numbers, test scores. That is all there.

Stone Lakes is among the best schools in Orlando. When it comes to education there is no one size fits all. We are happy with this school. They have higher standards. Our daughter is challenged academically every day. When we moved we had some concerns then we had a meeting with the administration and things have improved. Parents are always welcomed to share their concerns and suggestions. Communication is the key. Way to go eagles!

Dr. Kennerly only cares about scores and perfect students. This is the worst public school in the area, fortunetly we moved and changed my son to a really good school where the principal and the teachers care about the students. Every person have their own personality and it is imposible trying to create perfect students, poor kids that they don't even have the chance to be themselves. It is very frutrated to hear your child comming from school and telling you "mom I don't want to go back to that school", "I hate my life".; and it's even worse whe you talk to the principal and she doesn't do anything.

Stone Lakes has really become an excellent school thanks to our Principal Dr. Kennerly. Although she brought change this past year, it was change the school needed. My son will be starting his 3rd year at Stone Lakes and I couldn't be happier.

New principal this year. Totally changed our school. Principal has no plan, things are constantly changing. Children need stability. All the changes are showing with grades and how kids are acting. Principal only focuses on tests and scores. Not happy, thinking of pulling my children out next year

What an amazing school! My children are thriving and the teachers and principal are top notch. Lots of extra help when needed. Great communication with teachers. Parents really care about this school. My kids are advanced readers now thanks to the new reading program! We wouldn't go anywhere else! Very happy with this community.
