This school was amazing for both my kids, besides the usual bullying. The kids can be a little on the rough side, most are from very poor families, which also allows the school to get extra funding/free programs. But the staff is amazing. They will bend over backwards & do anything to help the kids/parents, even came to my house once to help us w/ a situation (who does that?) I was very grateful to have these staff members working here, they really do care about these kids always going above & beyond.

I love this school! The teachers and staff are so kind and caring! Coming to this school everyday puts a smile on my face. I like that this school is so welcoming and has great leaders.

Mirror lake is a GREAT school! Our principal is Maggie 'o' sullivan and she is the BEST ever! All the teachers are GREAT! We are very sad that some are leaving!

Since my child started attending Mirror Lake I have watched most of one PTA board and parts of another not only drop the PTA, but transfer their children to other schools. There is no parent support (the current PTA has less than ten members). The communication between the school and parents is very wanting. There are small positives to the school, but overall I could not recommend this as a great (or even a good school) school (we are joining an exodus by parents that like to stay involved and we are transferring our child out of the school after the end of the school year).

My son started at this school about a month ago. He want from hating school to loving it within 2 days. That was a big deal and he is doing wonderfully there.
