Mr. Ewald and Miss Lyons has been amazing to me during a very difficult period of my life. They really truly care about the kids at their school. And they care about the parents too read more

All I can say is that the school help produce a wonderful child like my son who ended up graduating early from high school and is currently attending a major university in the state of Alabama yes a majors university currently to my nieces attend the school and both are doing well especially my niece that is in kindergarten she has been on honor roll and principles honor roll throughout the school year. Coach Joe is one of the best teachers there is he always are still going to teach students to be positive and be proud of everything that they do. Miss Johnson is another teacher at the school that is the exact same way very outgoing positive and encourages her students to study and to be the best that they can possibly be and to always seek out the best. read more

I am so impressed with the teachers and staff at La Paloma Academy. My 4th grade sons were new to the school this year (because we moved) and they have new friends, like their teachers and are enjoying school. They just joined a club afterschool and they wish it was everyday. Mrs. Mensing, their teacher, is amazing. She has so much patience with the children and keeps me up to date on what they're working on at school. They both have Dyslexia, so they have IEP's. The special ed. teachers are fabulous, especially Mrs. South. Their reading has improved so much in just a few months! You can tell that the teachers at La Paloma really care about the children and take the time to get to know them. read more

My son went to the Pre-K program and I loved it. The staff who greeted us in the mornings and afternoons were always amazing. Miss Peggy was always a peach. My son liked his teachers Miss Yoyo and Mrs. Cleaver. The summer program was great and he loves that as well. However dealing with the elementary school side of it is so frustrating. The communication is terrible. I explained an urgent situation and Kathy could have cared less. So my child doesn't go here anymore. I need people who care about my child's education on board with me. read more

I enrolled my son there because they had good educational reviews and testing results. So why wouldn't I right? Well he was a four year old starting kindergarten and one would expect that the staff would be helpful in getting kinders adjusted and everything. They don't do a damn thing! They don't help them at lunch, they don't help them get to/from the daycare bus, and not to mention the bullying problem there. The reception staff are rude and not helpful at all. When i asked if someone was designated to help kids film the busses to class, I was told no that they expect the kids to find their way to class by themselves. Um he's 4 years old! Within 2 weeks, I saw a complete change in him personality wise. He completely shut down, 100% not himself anymore. I found out he was being bullied too and that was it. I was done and moved him to a different school. His personality came back and he's back to his happy self. I tell everyone I know not to put their kids in the school. In fact every one that I knew of that had their kids there, pulled them out...that says a lot! read more

I couldn't ask for a better school for my children. Every teacher, and every staff member we've ever encountered has been spot on awesome. My children have so much fun away their summer camp every year. read more

This school was the best thing that ever happened to both of my children. TUSD was a nightmare and once we got our daughter into La Paloma she was so far behind because of the lack of Education she was getting from TUSD it took a full year but we got her back up to where she should have been. Have nothing but great things to say about La Paloma and the staff thank you read more

There campus is huge yet they have too many students. The teachers are unorganized and disrespectful to the children. Lakesides bus was dripping with water at the air conditioning and covered with mold, I do not believe it was up to health-code standers. The teachers are constantly on there phones during fieldtrips insted of supervising there students. Some lakeside officials tried to segregate different campus to not allow children to play together. read more

I just want to share about my experience as a parent having two sons attending La Paloma Academy (LPA) Lakeside. The receptionists are very unprofessional. One receptionist takes it upon herself to discipline the kids when that is a role of a principle or vice principle. Today I observed the receptionist standing over my son, drilling him with questions, and pointing her finger in his face. I had seen enough! For the last year I regularly observe underqualified and unprofessional employees of LPA yelling at the children. The place if full of negativity anytime I walk through the building. The staff at LPA lack basic training and are damaging children. I do not recommend this school. I will say there are some very sweet teachers working at LPA who do a good job. Others are more than questionable. The afterschool program is more of a babysitting program that is staffed by young girls that are particularly aggressive and mean to the children. I am only ashamed that I put up with it this long. read more

Friendly and helpful personnel. Interesting layout where you can see the shaded ball court from one of the hallways to classrooms. Lots of the children's work line the hallways. Looks promising! read more
