My daughter has been here for 2 years. and i just cant say enough good things about this school. They truly and genuinely care about their students. My 7yo is a type 1 diabetic, and they make sure all her needs are taken care of. They took her reading and math skills to another level in no time. They always make you cry on graduation day. I wish we didnt have to move, otherwise i would keep my children here until highschool..I could go on and on about all the good things this school has to offer. Im just glad our children got to be a part of such a wonderful school.

The teachers are very professional, caring and well Organized. I attribute this to the examplary teaching and community feel of the school. My daughter started at this school from first grade and the change has been huge. The learning is wonderful and very dedicated to each student.

My oldest son transferred to this school last year, while he was in VPK, because of their especial education inclusion classroom. One and a half years later, all I can say is that Kendale Lakes Elementary has become a second home to us. The programs for children with behavioral issues, Quest, is amazing. The staff is wonderful, kind, loving, patient, and so well trained! At his old school, I used to constantly get phone calls with staff complaining about my son's behavior. At KLE, the staff calls me to inform me of incidents and to tell me how they are working with him to help him improve. It is a breath of fresh air! Everyone from the teachers, to security, to the office staff, and after school care staff, are so educated and well trained! They love my son and work with him....they treat him like he's their own. We feel so loved here!I think a lot of it has to do with the heart put into this school by their amazing principal, Mrs. J (Juareguizar). I have never seen a more hands-on principal! She's always at drop off, greeting kids, hugging them, making them feel welcome. She's at all of the school events, greeting parents, taking the time to talk to us about our kids. And she gets to know each and every one of them. I am in awe of this woman and her commitment to the children and staff at this school. She is truly running a well-oiled machine! Their office administrator, Mrs. Florencia is on top of everything, making sure our kids are well cared for. She's always just a quick phone call away, ready to help parents as needed. The security staff, Ms. Barbie and Mr. Hawkins are so special! Ms. Barbie knows all of the kids at the school and makes sure they're kept safe. And the teachers...I don't have enough time to talk about all of them, but needless to say, each and everyone that we have met is a Rockstar! My son's VPK teacher, Ms. Armani and her assistant, Ms. Yaqui, are true gems. His current teacher, Mrs. Miranda, is new to the school. She has taken the time to work with my son and help bring out the best in him. Slowly, but surely, we are seeing the results of her hard work and dedication with my little guy. She's very loving and caring, and knows how to push him to achieve his best. He only started kindergarten a few months ago and he's already reading words! I would have never imagined. This little school, hidden in West Kendall, is a gift to our community and our children. We are forever grateful to KLE!

My daughter went to this school from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. It has been the best school, her teachers were always so professional and special. The principal has the ability to do what is best for our children. And all the administrative staff always helped me. Highly recommended this school.

Kendale Lakes Elementary is an AMAZING place to be! Students are offered a safe, clean, and nurturing environment to learn and grow. The teachers provide excellent instruction and the administrative team does a superb job of overseeing all areas of the school. Parents are always informed and involved as much as possible.

We absolutely love our school!! Kendale Lakes Elementary is not only my kids' school but its their second home. My girls are always treated like they are family by the loving staff, teachers, custodians, etc. The entire team makes a great effort to know every student by name and greet them with a warm smile. I am impressed by how invested they are not only in the student's academic achievements but also in their emotional growth. Our family and I have such peace of mind when they are in school, knowing they are receiving the best education.

I have both of my kids at KLE and everyone from the administration to the teachers are an absolute dream. The school has a wonderful approach to learning and building character within the kids. They take their job very seriously and are complete professionals in what they do. They offer different class placements and really seek to take care of the child’s academic needs. It’s a great environment & the kids have a lot of fun. I highly recommend Kendale Lakes Elementary!

My nephews, Aaron and Jayden (thx Ms. Alonso) have attended this school for 1 yr after transferring from a school that could not meet their needs.

Both my kids attend this school and we have had an amazing experience there. All the teachers my kids have had are amazing as wells as the principal and assistant principal and all the school staff. They are very caring and know all the kids names. The principal is also almost always outside welcoming kids. My son is leaving school this year for Middle School and I feel that he is well prepare to face the new challenges he will face thanks to the teachers he had.
