Love this school. The staff is very involved and make it a fun learning experience with the kids. All of my issues have been resolved efficiently and my children are handled with care. I can truly say my kids are loved my their teachers and the principal cares about his students

I moved out state to Deltona, Florida. This school does not accommodate outsiders very well at all. By choice, I removed my child from the classroom and teach her myself. With all respect, teachers were just not up to par, and I wasn't going to let my child continue to fail at their hands. I saw no improvements or efforts from the teachers end to assist or be very helpful.One Teacher in particular discussed my daughters issues out loud in front of all the students. Its the method they have here, apparently, they don't have private rooms to discuss private matters. It really hurt my daughters self esteem to be put on the spot on where she was failing. Teachers strike me as rushed and in a hurry.Most of all, I would say the communication is terrible, I shouldn't have to join a Volusia county Facebook group to know what is going on half the time. There has to be better networking than calling the office all the time. This is 2017. I strongly do not recommend this school if you want your child to get the attention they deserve. I would say if your child is a fast learner and can whistle though quick without much monitoring, they will be fine. If your child needs extra attention or a little boost, this school will may be a big challenge, maybe even a problem

I opened DLE in 1982. I planned, developed and wrote the grants to finance the Sand Pine Nature Center that Deltona's current mayor burned to the ground following the 5 hurricanes of 2004. Next to Deltona Middle School its the worst place I ever worked. Even the Supt wants out of Volusia County, but no one else will take the job!! Douglas Bowman / retired

Great school. Teachers do love to help. They are very friendly and fun. A lot of parents volunteer as well. Over all my child has learned a lot in a very short time. and there is great comunication between teachers and parents.

My nephew attends this school. He is happy and likes his school. The teachers and principals are very accomodating to parents and students.

Both of my kids went to DLE. If parents had a problem with either the teachers OT the office staff they must not be easy to please. DLE is a very homey environment and everyone is always so friendly and warm.

School has very low educational level. After moving away from this school into a good school system in Texas my kids are much behind the kids here. Teachers don't communicate to parents hardly at all. We also have a sun with Asperger's and the teachers counselor and principles knew nothing about autism and/or how to treat and react to my son . This ended up being a daily call at about 9 am to come pick him up from school . I would avoid all Deltona schools if you value your kids education

This school has some great teachers. The principals are no good. They spend more time in the parking lot moving cones than they do being involved in what's going on in the classrooms. We need a new staff at this school.

Many years ago they built The Sand Pine Nature Center. It has been allowed to fall into disrepair and is no longer used. Its such a shame. I know there were several education grants and donations from community service groups when they first started develop the center. There just never seems to be any follow-up. Maybe the principal and staff no longer care....

My third grader is required to be quiet and sit in her seat all day long with little movement. Expectations are not age appropriate, and the teacher points out student weaknesses in front of their classmates, humiliating the student. I've tried working with the school and have gotten no where. It breaks my heart to have a child who comes home crying because her teacher treats her poorly. Add to it homework which asks subjective questions and then demands exact answers, and you've got a sure disaster on your hands. My A/B student has been getting D's and F's because of this.

I am very happy to have seen the great improvements on my daughte'rs reading and math skills. I only have DLE to thank! They have helped me with tips on how to work with my daughter's school work, while we work as a team. The teachers and staff at DLE are very nice and helpful. I can't wait to see what develops when my daugther goes onto the 3rd grade.

So far I really like this school :o)

As a former student here, I like it. Great staff, great teachers, the lunch ladies can do a little better, and the special area teachers are amazing. I only had one complaint- the bathrooms. There are broken tiles, clogged sinks, and profanity. I hated it. What are these children doing to this amazing school?

We transfered to this school during this year. The home work is intensive and the curriculum challenging, but the kids learn. The school could do with better front office professional etiquette. They are usually not very polite. As always elementary school teachers don't like email or the phone. I continually suggest they follow middle and high school standards and move into the technology age. "Note" in the backpack is not an effective form of communication, not in the past 20 years any how.

My daughter goes to this school and I think this school needs some extra funding to get these kids the education they need. Especially in this economy!
