Eugenia B. Thomas K-8 Center

This is a horrible school. The staff is very rude, uncooperative, and over all unwilling to help. The school's disciplinary system is unacceptable, the give 60 Minute detentions to mere kindergarten students, for the staple of "talking in class", a ridiculous reason considering they are working with 5 year-old's. Overall they lack a sense of patience and severity with their students, and the methods of education are dismal to say the least.

My children have been attending EBT K-8 Center for the last 6 years and I couldn't be happier with their education. The teachers and administration strongly support the students and encourage parental involvement. My children love their teachers, receive personal attention when they need it and feel very safe. The building is always clean and carefully maintained as is the classrooms. The education at EBT K-8 Center is excellent and the students are always challenged to excel. This school has maintained their "A" school status since it opened. The success of this school is due to its exceptional leader, Mrs. Mayra Falcon, who expects nothing but the best from her staff for the students and community of Doral. She is very knowledgeable of the educational system and is easy to talk to for advice or suggestions. I am very pleased with the excellent education my children are receiving and thank the entire staff of EBT for their commitment and dedication to our youth.

Outstanding school in all aspects. The Principal, Mrs. Falcon is the best Dade County has to offer. She is a highly motivatel professional with a high degree of personal integrity. She is an exceptional role modle for her staff, student body and community. Her committment to high standards shows throughout her school. The teachers are committed to ensuring students excel academically and socially. Teaching is taken seriously at EBT. Parents are encouraged to participate and support school initiatives and challenged to provide guidance and discipline at home so that the child can be a good citizen in our community. We couldnt ask for a better school for our child. If you are looking for a school where your child will be challenged, motivated and lead by example, this is your. If you could clone this school's principal, our school system would be perfect! Great job to all and thanks for your commitment to excellence. JBF

Our daughter attended this school the first year it opened and she began Kindergarden here. We were so happy when they converted it to a K-8, because it made the process that much smoother and we felt as if we didn't have anything to fear. Her class was also the first one to innagurate the Middle School! She completed her entire Elementary & Middle school at EBT and the school always stood out from the others in the area and other areas in a very positive way. Everything was always positive for us and our child. We are happy that our new child will also be attending the school in 1 year because we know it will be the best school that we can send her to and it's actualy one of the reasons we aren't moving from Doral. Anyone that has the priviledge of sending their children to this school can feel very lucky to know their child will receive the best care & education from the teachers and overall staff of the school. Highly recommended!

We had a very good experience with our two kids. (second and fifth grade). EBT It's the main reason why we moved to Doral and we are happy with the decision. Demanding but supportive of the kids when they need it. Ms. Rodriguez of second grade is an outstanding teacher, a very professional and caring person.

My kids attend this school, it is an A school and reviews about catering to english only people are from uneducated people who probably can't spell the letter A. The administration is strict and enforces homework and reading, if you want a school that lets the parents off the hook then find another one, EBT is probably one of the best schools in south florida.

Horrible after school pick up, the ptsa is a rip off, they practically force every child to pay $8.00 or else embarrass them by letting the whole class know that that child didn't pay and therefore they won't get pizza. Even if you pay , they don't send you a membership card (as they are required) Let alone , don't even invite you or notify you of any meetings. Who knows where all that money goes because everything activity they have your child is charged for it. Bylaws from PTA across America require that members have the right to attend meetings and if they wish may question how funds are allocated.
