My daughter started in Layer Elementary when it first opened up and is now getting ready to graduate from fith Grade. Layer Elementary is an incredible school. The fact that the students don't run around and do as they please doesn't make it a military camp. It keeps the kids safe and focused and teaches them discipline and respect. Priciple Staats is outstanding. My daughter was recognized and tested for gifted in her 1st year and had the pleasure of working with an amazing teacher (Mrs Scheere) who has broaden and challenged my daughter in ways I could never repay. Mrs. Weigandt and Mrs Bantle are by far two extra ordinary teachers who have made an impact in her life. This year the fifh graders are changing classes as they would in middle school to prepare them for the transition. Layer is a serious School for Serious learning. Regards, B. Cross

Thank you Mrs. Janie Brown of Winter Springs.
Layer is more than a school...It is a home. The teachers and staff are so caring and always have the childrens' best interest in mind. This professionally run school has been led by an amazing principal, Ms. Staats, since the school first opened. She has made it the successful environment that it is today!!!

Upper facility seems very hostile towards parents and as a previous review stated, it's much like a military camp. The educational quality is par, but the staff should really think about making it a more kid and parent friendly surrounding. They actually had police outside one morning to insure parents did not leave their cars in the morning to walk the kids in, a great image for the children.
