Indian Lake Elementary School

Posted September 22, 2009

We bought a house zoned for this school just because of the reputation of the school. However, we have been severely disappointed. I am considering private school as an alternative. The atmosphere is not nurturing at all. Most of the parents with glowing reports are just trying to impress everyone else. Mrs. McGhee is one of the most unyielding people I have ever met. Do not fall for the hype of this school.

This is an excellent school that challenges students and also welcomes parent involvement. It has a great reputation and it seems they aim to keep it that way. I have never seen teachers more well taken care of nor such great success with fundraising in a school. This community is active and supportive of this school.

This school gets glowing reviews...if you are a cookie-cutter resident of the neighborhood. The school lacks diversity and is not a welcoming, encouraging environment for kids and families of different backgrounds...the subtle...and not so subtle 'slights' that my child has experienced this year, has left their once enthusiastic, bubbly personality, a bit subdued and discouraged. The office is slow to even acknowledge our presence when we enter...we can sense that our presence is not wanted in the school. There are other matters of concern that I won't mention, but I will say that we have truly been disappointed by the cold, unwelcoming atmosphere that my child and I have experienced at Indian Lake. I have visited other elementary schools in the county and it's like night and day...Indian Lake truly stands alone...in it's arrogance.

I am extremely impressed with all aspects of ILE. The PTO gave the library $6,000--and the county gave another several thousand-- to update and expland all selections. More than 1,100 books have been purchased the past 2 years, and the librarian is continuing to update all selections. The SMART boards are an incredible asset in the classrooms, allowing the teachers to pull information (and incredible visuals) from the internet to complement and enhance learning. And I don't think there are teachers anywhere in the state that are as well-cared for as the ones at ILE. They receive monthly luncheons, special treats, funds from the PTO for purchasing supplies and well-deserved recognition. Both of my children have had great experiences since moving here two years ago.
