Apollo Beach Elementary School

I am very impressed with the teachers, administration and staff who are friendly, caring, and accommodating. My second grader loves her teachers and her school. Her homework is appropriate. She has math assignments every night and reading and spelling assignments every other night. She is also encouraged to set a goal to read every night of her choice of books. The school sets very high expectations for the students. I am very sure my child will excel in this school.

The administration, staff, and teachers are fantastic and provide a safe, friendly, and nurturing environment for the students. The teachers go above and beyond the Florida state educational standards. Parents are VERY involved in the school and are always made to feel welcome by the staff and the wonderful PTA. The Principal and VP are enthusiastic, fair, very friendly, and they truly care about the students and providing quality education and great school experience.

This is my child's 2nd year at ABES and I have been very impressed with the school, staff, administration, and parent involvement. It's obvious Mrs. Gerding has high expectations of her teachers, which they strive to meet with enthusiasm and dedication to their students. I just read a few earlier reviews from 4-5 years ago and was truly surprised by some of the negative comments. Goes to show a lot can change in that amount of time. We feel very fortunate to have such a great school in this area!

I went there from K-5 and I just thought all of the teachers were amazing. They set great expectations for students and do not give up on them. They are very encouraging to students. I am hoping my son will get to go there when he starts K.

I am a parent of 2 students who attend ABES and we think it is a great school with a very caring staff. They care about each student and work very hard to make sure that all children are kept safe and get the highest possible education.

A school is only as good as it's leaders. I have never been so impressed with a principal! We moved here this December and couldn't be happier. Our sons teachers are top notch and really invest in him and his progress. We had heard some bad stuff about the Florida school system but Apollo Beach has stood out as a real gem of a school.

A fantastic staff, dedicated and involved. The school has gone through a major reconstruction and is beautiful! My children are loving it here! Their grades have also improved over the course of the year.
