Coconut Palm Elementary School

The school is O.K. Totally F.C.A.T. oriented. Nothing else matters The school is very clean, safe and organized. The morale of the teachers is ok . None dress code, the kids looks chaotic. The in house aftercare program is not the best, but you have to live with it. The PTA is really involved and supports the school with big amounts of money. They have an outstanding chorus, art and drama clubs. The AR & Math superstar programs are tremendous motivators for our children to succeed.

The school is O.K. The organizational skills needs a little tweaking. The Kindergarten work isn't very challenging, but I don't blame the teacher as much as I blame the FCAT Curriculum. My Kindergartener entered the class doing double digit addition and subtraction, multiplication, and simple division while they where still counting blocks and squares. The only time they get a lot of homework is if the student didn't finish their classwork on time. The ONLY school in Broward County that doesn't teach to the FCAT is NOVA. They do tend to ask for more supplies than what the student needs. The morale of the teachers is way better than most schools, which made me feel secure in that teachers were not taking any personal vendettas against administration or school system out on the students, plus the door is open for parent involvement. They don't have a program where the kids learn how to play concert instruments like my kid's last school, but they do have a decent drama club that my son LOVES. This school is better than most.

The office staff is great compared to others. Professional and friendly.Procedure for parent check-in is like adult babysitting. This was my kids first year at this school. 5th grader had an outstanding teacher, Mr. Nedorosick.Goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the education of his students. The K teacher, well that's another story.She tried.What I don't like is the multiple requests for teacher supplies and gift cards.Teachers get an allowance and tax right offs for needed things.Their main enterance to the school needs to be in the back so parents can exit at either direction.making parents drive 4 blocks out of the way to make a U-turn isn't very logical.

Because it is a great school, amazing teachers, great staff, I am very proud of the formation and knowledge that my children are receiving in this school. My son that is now in middle school misses the school more than ever, he wants to wish every one of his teachers a great year.
