Del Lago Elementary School

This school is wonderful. My child is excited to go each day.

I have loved ALL my daughter's teachers so far (K 1 2 3) at Del Lago. My only complaint is that I felt there was too much homework for her age/grade during 1st and 2nd grade. I guess this is teacher-specific because homework this year (3rd) is much lighter.

It's really gone downhill the last few years. Grouchy, burned out teachers, except for Mr. Garrett and Mrs. Kirby who are great. Some of these older female teachers should retire soon. Needs more male teachers. There are only three men in the whole school. Two male teachers and the custodian. Having a male leader or principal would be great too. Mr. Snyder is missed. Employ some men, please! I'd feel safer at this school if there were some more strong men on campus, just in case muscles and strength are ever needed. The school is old and needs a more modern look to it. It's an eyesore unfortunately. My children have complained for years that they're bored and do not like going to school. Why are they so bored? What the heck is happening in the classrooms, or not happening? It makes me consider homeschooling them even more.

The principal, Don Snyder was gracious enough to give me a personal tour of the school and the special ed dept, which my little girl will be in for the 1st grade this Sept. Don Snyder is wonderful. What a shame he will be retiring this June!
