My daughter didn’t learned anything in kindergarten and I made them aware of it at the middle of the year and nothing happened .she is in first grade now and still in the air .kids get bullied and it’s sad to see your child going thru something like this .Teachers and staffs are very nice .they need to work on teaching students kindness and no bullying.Also they don’t have any programs for students who are behind or failing.

We have only been here for a month and so far so good. My daughter loves her teacher and classmates. Although I do plan on transfering her to another school where she can be a bit more challenged academically, I have no complaints about LOE.

The first couple of years were awesome, but don't ever cross anyone, your child gets singled out and they end up feeling inferior and that everyone is against them.

Overall, Loughman Oaks is a fantastic school. Here is an extraordinary level of financial and administrative support from the county, state and community. Each child is treated kindly by the entire staff. The educational opportunities at the school are only limited by the parents’ level of involvement with their child’s education. They have a gifted program, after school learning, educational clubs and wonderful behavior incentives for the children. The faculty of Loughman Oaks work hard for each and every child at the school. If a child struggles, it is a reflection of the parents’ involvement (or lack thereof) in the child’s education, not the school or its faculty. Anyone that would drive their child past this amazing school so they can have bragging rights about their child attending a charter or private school is doing their child an injustice.

I was also very hesitant in sending my son here. Their grading online is not great. However the teachers are great! They give the children so much time, effort but also differences in approach to learning and see what hits your child best. I have never had any issues w staff. The ladies at the front are strict, but come at any day and the entrance is packed w parents. To guide that you need to be firm and make sure all know what is needed.

My son entered now in January to first grade and the transition has been difficult because he does not master the english, but his teacher Mrs. Gonzalez helps him a lot and above all there is great communication .. this school is excellent.

My child went here for kindergarten last year, and while we had some communication issues with the office staff, his teacher was just absolutely amazing. She communicated with us nearly daily on our son's progress and our son was a straight A Honor Roll student all year. This year, due to a schedule issue, and us not being able to put our son in an after-school program, we switched to a charter school with a daycare next door. This charter school is supposedly an A rated school, but I see ZERO evidence of that. My son is now looking at having to repeat first grade because of the failings of this school. There's no communication and his teacher has all but come out and said she's given up on helping our son pass. We will be moving him back to LOE for next year.

This is an amazing school!! My student refused to get up for school last year at her old school. We enrolled in Loughman this year and she is the first one up every morning. Her last school did not have a librarian, and Loughman has an amazing library that she loves to visit. She is excited to go to school again and we couldn't be happier.

This school has amazing opportunities for our students!! There is a FREE after school program (which includes PE, art, music and Dance-as well as homework help), they have an award-winning ITV program, Chess team, science club, 5th grade track team and a Christmas Musical for 3rd grade!! The staff and Administration really care about the student and it shows.

I have a K and a 4th grader in this school. I was very hesitant about sending them here. We came from SWFL where there was excellent schools to choose from so I was in a little culture shock that they only offered one school choice here. I took the plunge and sent them anyway. I cant say enough good things about my daughters teacher. She is absolutely amazing!! She responds with in minuets to any and all questions that I have about my child. She cares and is a model example of what a teacher should be.

La administración no posee el liderato para entrenar, ayudar y dar el apoyo necesario para retener nuevos maestros. Tampoco respeta los maestros que han trabajado arduamente y con pocos recursos por muchos años y continuamente, y sin consultarlos, los cambia de nivel a nivel. Los maestros son el alma de un colegio, y sin el respeto y apoyo de una administración profesional no pueden efectivamente educar a nuestros hijos. Esta administración es pobre e ineficaz. ¿Porqué es que el Distrito no capta este problema?

Absolutely Horrible!! My son is in first grade and also went here for kindergarten. I've had nothing but problems. Last year I never got the order forms for pictures until after picture day. It took months to get my son the 504 plan he needed. This year his first grade teacher cannot even spell or use proper grammar. I am appalled at this school and cannot wait to get him out!

Lack of communication is my biggest complaint about this school. We moved here with only 3 months of school left. It took 3 weeks to get them registered/enrolled due to the requirements. I have two boys, 3rd & 5th grade at LOE. Although my sons 3rd grade teacher would reply to agenda notes, nothing came home about projects or special days for the classroom for either of them. My sons would at the last minute say 'Hey mom, I need this or we're doing this'...Not good in my book. My son was excited about 5th grade graduation and parents were all invited to an outside (in June) ceremony in which only academic certificates, awards & scholarships were given out. There were some parents there whose child received nothing. What happened to nice graduation ceremonies where every child got a little diploma? There are a lot of children at this school. I was told when we enrolled it was something like 800+. I was amazed at how many trailers they have for the overflow. And just in the past 2 weeks have added at least 6 more. I am currently trying to get my kids into a charter school. There just have been some things I don't care for in a school happen.

I would not recommend this school to anyone I know with children my child's age. This school is like sending your child to a military school. The teachers complain about every little thing a child does. It's like they don't know they are dealing with kids, they want mini adults. They have unrealistic expectations for children. There is no pleasing the staff at this school. When it comes down to something bad that happens they fail to notify the parent. It's like they hope we won't find out so they don't have to put the work into the issue at hand.

Be careful when you enroll your child at this school it is a prison for kids two of my kids attend this school right now kindergarten and third grade they only get recess one time a week for my kindergartner and my third grader has to pay to get recess I mean come on there kids they need burn off some energy every day to be able to focus and the nation is worried about childhood obesity and recess is a good way to burn calories from running around all this school does is promoting childhood obesity my third grader has over nine hours of homework every week and he didn't get off the bus till 4:30 that is much for any kid so be careful of this school I will be pulling my kids out with in this next week and home schooling with K12 and will not return to this prison of a school.
