I cannot say enough good things about this school. My sons are in kindergarten, and the staff has just been simply awesome with them. The school offers a warm, caring, and happy learning environment with exceptionally qualified teachers who go above and beyond. The student body is such a beautiful mix of cultures and everyone just seems happy. From the moment you walk into the office, you will feel at home. My children are reading well in kindergarten. Awesome awesome school.

My daughter went to private school last year and Osceola is better in many ways, now she's actually reading for one. Great teachers who really pay attention and care.

My son has been attending Osceola for two years now and I couldn't be happier! All around the school has been fantastic, from teachers to administration to the after school program. The PTA does a fantastic job raising money and encouraging support. I am always amazed at the participation of parents and families at all of the school functions. Keep up the great work Osceola !!

Osceola Elementary is definitely in a class by it self. This school has a fabulous staff and well qualified leadership team. My child is in the best possible hands.

This school is simply awesome. The academics are super and the teacher/student partnerships are a true family. The Best School in Florida. My son loves his school, teachers and the extra support he receives from all the administrators and staff. They have all been extremely helpful with my son. The music program and the speech program are second to none. This school is such a safe, wonderful second home for my son and we love our dream team of staff, teachers and administrators. We have a bushel of Golden Apples at Osceola.

The teachers are fantastic. they have excellent programs in place to help learners of all speeds. The main focus in all Collier elementary schools seems to be reading and writing. I'd like to see more science and math.

My daughter attended this school for one semester of kindergarten. Academically the school was excellent, the facilities are top of the line. But, I have been very disappointed in the after school program and for this reason I will be transferring her to another school.

My 6 and 8 year old attended Osceola for the 2004/2005 school year. They absolutely loved it. Their teachers were very involved. I had email contact with both teachers. Wonderfully clean school. The office staff was always courteous and and really seemed like they 'knew' the kids. If I had a choice of any school in Collier County, my kids would definitely be at Osceola. I had some behavioral issues with my 8 year old, and they were so helpful. They won't put up with the riff raff that you'll find at other schools, but they will sure work to help you if your child is having some problems. Overall a wonderful, wonderful school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
