    "This school has changed over the course of 5 years teachers are quick to dicilipne students,students ghetto like to curse in class. This school used to be a great quality public school nut ever since this new principle came into the picture things dramttically changed for the worst. She is not doing anything to address the issue. i have been there for a year after going to kettering I am proud to say kettering was intellectually stimulating and less ghetto than it seems. Lake Arbors students curses nad i swear they have fights everyday ones that have turned bloody. If you want to send your child some where i would suggest Kettering. Because ovbiously Ms.Riggins is not doing her job. That is just my opinion. And every subsitute that has subsituted 5th and 6th dont want to come back that is an horrible this school is the most horrid school i have ever been to please if you want your child pure DO NOT SEND CHILDREN HERE."

    "Don't let the title of being in Mitchellville fool you. While there are a few excellent teachers, the majority are impatient and do not communicate well with students or their parents. I have had meetings with the former principal and current principal as I had one son graduate and another still attends. Many teachers and staff are either quick to punish or lack appropriate punishments for the children. I understand dealing with children is a hard job but the school needs to do better. I truly want my child to stay and grow at Lake Arbor but I am steadily looking into alternatives for the betterment of my child."

    "This is my daughters third year at Lake Arbor, she came from a private school. I was satisfied with her 1st grade teacher and pleased with her 2nd grade teachers; however, unpleased with her 3rd grade teacher(light skinned with curly hair). The communication from the teacher to the parent needs improvement as well as focus on student achievement and pasion for the job. The ratio of students to teachers is like 30 to 1. Getting a good teacher is hit or miss and an excellent teacher is hard to find. I find the arrival and dismissal process to be EXTREEMELY chaotic and disorderly and opted to enroll my daughter in the after care program located at the school because she is picked up from her classroom by the after care staff and does not have to exit the building. My daughter was excepted to TAG this year and has only had two TAG classes. Overall, the school is okay, but could use improvement. I feel that my daughter will be better suited at another school and I faithfully enter her in the lottery for TAG, Charter or Performing Arts Schools. If all else fails, I am prepared to move to ensure my kid gets the best education my tax dollars will afford!"

    "I have been teaching for 12 years and my years at Lake Arbor have been the best teaching experience I have had! We changed Principals my first year, and the transition has been as smooth as silk. Mr. Green, our Principal, and Ms. Tutt our Assistant Principal are great leaders, our staff is dedicated, the parents are the best that I've worked with, and of course, the kids are great. Wh wouldn't want to be a part of a school like this?"

    "Lake Arbor is a beautiful school; it has plenty of fun activities for the kids throughout the year. However, the communication between parents and teachers is very poor. I have been repeatedly disappointed with the lack of response to parental concerns, last minute notices being sent home the day before a test or event, and unwillingness to better the communication."
