Deltona Lakes Elementary School

I moved out state to Deltona, Florida. This school does not accommodate outsiders very well at all. By choice, I removed my child from the classroom and teach her myself. With all respect, teachers were just not up to par, and I wasn't going to let my child continue to fail at their hands. I saw no improvements or efforts from the teachers end to assist or be very helpful.One Teacher in particular discussed my daughters issues out loud in front of all the students. Its the method they have here, apparently, they don't have private rooms to discuss private matters. It really hurt my daughters self esteem to be put on the spot on where she was failing. Teachers strike me as rushed and in a hurry.Most of all, I would say the communication is terrible, I shouldn't have to join a Volusia county Facebook group to know what is going on half the time. There has to be better networking than calling the office all the time. This is 2017. I strongly do not recommend this school if you want your child to get the attention they deserve. I would say if your child is a fast learner and can whistle though quick without much monitoring, they will be fine. If your child needs extra attention or a little boost, this school will may be a big challenge, maybe even a problem

I opened DLE in 1982. I planned, developed and wrote the grants to finance the Sand Pine Nature Center that Deltona's current mayor burned to the ground following the 5 hurricanes of 2004. Next to Deltona Middle School its the worst place I ever worked. Even the Supt wants out of Volusia County, but no one else will take the job!! Douglas Bowman / retired

Great school. Teachers do love to help. They are very friendly and fun. A lot of parents volunteer as well. Over all my child has learned a lot in a very short time. and there is great comunication between teachers and parents.

we just moved here and i am far from impressed with the office staff and the efficiency of how things get done.
