Open Quote I am utterly floored over the awful service I just received while trying to arrange for my daughter's transfer. Absolutely horrible. Im not allowed to do anything ahead of time, so they are basically forcing my daughter to miss skill for an undetermined amount of time. Absolutely absurd. I had heard that Lake Mary schools were so much better than the ones in Baltimore MD. My first experience sure doesn't support that. The rep clearly didn't want to have to speak to me and seemed like she didn't care at all about anything I had to say. Close Quote

Open Quote I am impressed with the schools faculty and staff. We are getting a new principal for the upcoming school year, so hopefully it will stand tall! To have so many students of various cultural backgrounds, the students/staff are commended for sharing their traditions and keeping things neutral. Close Quote
