Is any school perfect? No. Are the other 2 Yelp reviews a fair and accurate picture of this school?…read moreIn my opinion...no. Not at all. We have been attending Citrus Glen since my middle child was in TK. What I have found is a school that has very dedicated, loving teachers. A school that has a principal who communicates and does in fact solve problems. Pretty sure my son's experience with bullying last year, and the fact that both the teacher and the principal responded to my concern the same day and followed up numerous times would be ample evidence that the principal does follow through. In fact, she followed up with me at the start of THIS school year to make sure nothing was amiss. As to the claims of racism in the front office. It should be noted that the front office is staffed with a diverse group of ladies. A group of ladies who work with a very, very diverse student population. I can only imagine that when they offered a wide variety of income and address verification options that they did so because they were suggestions that have helped solve a problem in the past and not because they were making "racist" assumptions. As to the comments regarding PTA. I totally understand PTA is not for everyone. But my question would be...does this person personally know the PTA parents? Have they had a conversation? Have they come to meetings? Asked questions? Do they realize that every single parent involved with PTA is a volunteer. A volunteer attempting to make the school a better place? Do they not like the 3....yes 3... field trips their student takes each year? Do they not like art? Music? School equipment? Because all of those things are facilitated through PTA support. Please, show me how any PTA parent is using the PTA for their own personal benefit. Because, as someone involved with PTA....I only see parents trying to better the school. If you don't agree with it, have a suggestion, or would like to see something change, please....have a conversation. Sound harsh? Perhaps, but putting down hard working volunteers (PTA or otherwise) really sets me off. This all said, my children attended a school that severely lacked a sense of community, school pride and cooperative principal leadership. In our 4 years at Citrus Glen I, as well as my husband, have been shown time and time again what a fantastic learning environment the school really is. This environment is the product of teachers and staff who love their job and love kids.

As our daughter finishes up Kindergarten at Lincoln, I figured I would take some time to share my…read moreexperiences at this fantastic school. Sending a first child off to school is of course an anxious moment for any parent and I admit I was no exception. But my anxiety was quickly relieved; the staff, teachers and principal at Lincoln have been tremendously friendly and welcoming. Perhaps my favorite aspect of Lincoln is that it is a relatively small school. Within a short time after starting school, my daughter was known not only to her own teacher, but also to the other teachers on campus and even the principal greets my daughter by name as we arrive in the morning. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Lincoln is a part of that village. It truly has a cooperative, community feel to it. I find this a refreshing contrast to larger schools where children can get lost in the crowd. Lincoln is also blessed with caring staff, a fantastic principal, and an excellent and hard working PTA. Does the PTA fund raise too frequently? Yeah, probably. I admit it got a bit tiring. But after seeing the benefits of not only ART, but also MUSIC, PE and a full time on-site nurse, I really came to appreciate the "extras" that are provided far beyond basic education. All of these extra programs come about though the tremendous efforts of the PTA. Next year I plan to be more involved in the PTA and hope that by helping out we can make the fund raising more effective and less frequent. In closing, I want to say "thanks" to all of those who clearly pour their heart and soul into the children at Lincoln. It is much appreciated.

Since governments cut education funding, things like the Lap-A-Thon are a great way to promote community-building and get extra money for school programs. Neither the PTA nor the teachers at Lincoln have demanded or even asked me to have my child participate in door-to-door fundraising. The school also places strong focus on art and does not seem to have overbearing attitudes about homework or learning in general. It has a "comfy" and "laid back" feel that kids will enjoy. I've not once had my daughter complain about anything regarding other students or teachers. And the school plays are great!

We dropped off two books and picked up one, but the librarian included a second mystery book, with my permission, because she wanted to give my kiddo the opportunity to read another mystery from another author. She didn't have to do this but went above and beyond to research something that she would be interested in and that was near her reading level. Every experience we have had with Ms. Hamilton Redding is meeting a woman with wonderful attitude and joy oozing from her. She does more than just her job, but she encourages my kiddo and takes the extra moment each time we see her. She is a real treasure and is a stellar example for the school!
