Lake Wylie Elementary School

I must say that I am surprised Lake Wylie is rated at a 5 because this school is outstanding. I moved from CT and used this site to find a good school for my 2 boys (my other son goes to Southwest Middle, another good school). The teachers and principal are wonderful and care so much about the students. The children here are being well prepared for their next grades. My son has gone to school here for the 3rd and 4th grade and had the most amzaing teachers, he loves it here also.

This is only my 3rd year at Lake wylie but I have been very pleased with the academic progress my children have made. They are both in the talent development program and I love that they are in that enviroment all day (not just an hour or so like other CMS schools).

I am new to the Charlotte area and was a little apprehensive about Lake wylie due to the size and student population. I am so amazed at how organized,proficient and proactive the staff is. My daughter loves to goto school everyday and raves about her teacher.I would reccomend this experience to anyone looking to have a well rounded educational experience for their child.Thank you Mrs Edmond and Teachers for all you do for us and for caring so much for our children

I have a fourth grader here and a first grader here and as far as I'm concerned this is the best school ever. The teachers and assistants are awesome. The principal is too and very hands on. I wish my kids could stay here for 12 years and not have to move on to other schools. Thank you for taking excellent care of my children.

This is my children's first year attending Lake Wylie. I decided to try LW since it was our home school and my children wouldn't have to get on the bus at 6am to attend Beverly Woods. WHAT A MISTAKE! I do want to recognize my son's 4th grade teach Mrs. Getty's she is the best teacher I have met. My son continues to excel in her class. I am not as impressed with my daughter's teacher. The school is overcrowded.

Lake Wylie Elementary School has continued to amaze and impress me for almost 2 years now. They are highly organized and very focused on academics, yet they manage to plan all kinds of fun activities for the students and their families to enjoy (ie. Fall Festival,a huge Winter Parade,Spring Carnival,Splash Day). They have been inundated with rapid population growth in our area and they have handled it extremely well. It has not effected safety and certainly not academics. The teachers have been the most amazing,fun,creative teachers I have ever met. The kids love them, but even more importantly they respect them. The PTA is huge and the level of parent involvement is amazing. All special area programs (music, PE, art, technology, media) are of excellent quality. In fact, one of the PE teachers just won Teacher of the Year 2006-2007. I'm a proud parent of a Lake Wylie Elementary School student.

Wow! Lake Wylie Elementary School. I love that school. My family moved to Lake Wylie's district mid year so I was a little concerned that the move would shake up my 4th grade son academically. Instead, he soared! Ms. Heather Rath is by far the best teacher this side of creation. She is patient, she is kind, she is the type of teacher that encourages the best from her students. My son simply adores her. When we were planning his 10 year old birthday party, Ms. Rath was the first name on the invite list, and she actually took the time out of her day to come and share in his birthday party. Lake Wylie ranks high with me. My son is much more confident since being taught at such a great school.
