Lake Asbury Elementary School

I pulled her out immediately and will never ever go back.

I have not had issues with this school for my regular education student, but for my ESE child, I would not recommend this school. The teachers are wonderful, unfortunately administration ruins it. Mrs. Lawson feels she can do whatever she pleases with your child switch classrooms, change teachers and the parents do not need to know. My child is Language Impaired and can not tell me what is occurring at school, I fully depend on teachers and administration to tell me what is going on with my child. My child's behavior increased during this time due to the distress of her routine completely being disrupted and being put in a class that was not appropriate for her, I repeatedly discussed my concerns with the teacher and never once in the 5 weeks this occurred was I told, when they knew the whole time why my daughter was behaving the way she was, I later learned the assistant principal Adele Reed told the teacher not to tell me, I did not need to know because my daughters services were not changing. I filed a complaint with the county, but of course nothing is going to happen when the principal donates and attends the superintendents campaign events. ESE parents stay far away from this school at least until they get a principal that cares about their ESE students as much as regular education.

I have never been so disappointed. Bullying is prevalent, by both students and teachers, and the administration will bend over backward to avoid responsibility or protect a child in trouble. It's terrible. The campus is outdated, dirty, and in dire need of expansion. If you enjoy your children being in a portable during a tornado warning, then this school may be for you.

Great school! Phenomenal teachers! Super friendly front office staff. Mr. Ritchey is the best up front!! The principle is fantastic. It's old, but kept in good shape. The cafeteria smells a bit funky.
