We were blessed enough to have recieved a new leadership (administration) team in 2007. They have brought our school to places we had only dreamed of going. They are incredibly supportive of our kids and of us as parents. Our test scores have sky-rocketed. Our kids are excited to go to school every day. The culture of Disney has changed completely. I count my blessing every day that my kids are lucky enough to go to Disney.

I pulled my son from this school this school year. He is now thriving in an alternative setting. Reflecting on his negative experience at Disney, I can honestly opinionate and say the staff was insensitive to the fact he was a new student struggling to make friends and be accepted and they failed to support him in any way. The Principal exhibited a bit of concern for him, but when it came down to it, she just wanted to punish him and disregard the bullies behaviors. His teacher complained that he couldn't find the appropriate textbook in his desk and criticized him in front of other students. He was scarred by this. There was a gentleman by the name of Mr. Bugby who showed much consideration towards him. But on the whole, I think they missed the big picture with him. He was struggling because he needed consolement and support.

I was not happy with this school. My son only went there for 5th grade but had a terrible time getting along with other students. It took until the last month and a 1/2 before the Principal finally tried to help my son. I was also not impressed with his teacher either. Overall, not a good experience.

This school is recovering from a previous principal that was not parent-friendly at all. The new one is so much better! I'm looking forward to great things as my student goes through!

Our school is dedicated to teaching the children to achieve their best. It is a Title I school with one of the highest API scores in our district, compared to regular schools. We believe ALL children can learn and achieve and succeed, regardless of their background. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable and dedicated to improving their own skills, in order to teach these wonderful children.
