My sons experience at this school was absolutely horrible, and it all stemmed from the principal, she takes no accountability for how her teachers treat the students, she allows teachers to use disrespectful words to parents and even yell at the students, and when you confront her about these issues, we gets disrespectful herself.

My son just finished kindergarten at Ladonia. His first year of school was a fantastic experience! The staff makes the kids feel welcome, and you really get the feel that they care about them both academically and personally. You can really tell that the school is doing things right!

Ladonia helped my child who needed a bit extra. The teacher discovered an issue, spent her own money on things to help him in class and didn't once ask me to pay for anything. When I found out what was going on, I asked questions and was able to get him perm. help. However, they knew how to help! He got extra attention when needed. I have no issues with the school. Some teachers are not the best but YOU CANNOT LIKE EVERYONE, but that doesn't make them bad teachers. They communicate very well through the app. You can text anytime and they always have texted me back. The school lacks funding and you can tell. However they do well with what they got.

The communication between the school and parents is terrible they expect you to just know what to do. My son just started at this school from another state and they deff don't have it together! His teacher seems great so far so maybe she will be the one to make a difference! The principles really need to communicate with the parents on pick up,drop offs etc. because no one is going to understand the un organized way that you do it! And don't think I'm dropping my 5 year old off at school in a parking lot and leaving it to anyone their to make sure he gets to his class! No one cares to help and assist these children nicley I have only seen rude people that act as though his first day he was suppose to know what to do!

Fairness to students would be being helping,caring,understanding! Most of all teaching instead of assuming they will just know everything!!!

Classroom's are not clean. Teachers have too many students in some of the classes, and they are not up to date with technology.

MY daughter went to Ladonia and so do my grandchildren. No school is perfect but most of the teachers are great and the Principal and his staff are very professional.

This is one of the worst schools in this area!! I pulled my child out of this school because she was being bullied and the teacher and principal were unwilling to help! She has been attending a different school in the county since last September where the administration and teachers are supportive and very competent!

All of my children attend this elementary school and they have all excelled. My oldest son has autism and he has the best special education opportunities out there. Ladonia was not our first choice but after horrible teachers and lack of special programs for my son we moved here and have not regretted it at all. The teachers are great and Mr. Hopper is a wonderful principal.

This is the worst school I have ever stepped foot into. I would not recommend this school to anyone. The children do not receieve support nor motivation from the teachers. This school scored below state average that should say enough about the school. PLEASE don't let your child attend this school if you want your child to get a good education. I agree with alot of the other post this school should get shut down or all new staff brought in, anything would be an improvement.
