Tropical Elementary is part of a community whose parents and staff are concerned, involved and who continually volunteer and support the school! The dedication of teachers, administration and the PTA has deep roots in the community. Tropical Elementary benefits in countless ways from the volunteerism spirit, knowledge and experience of the administration. The school is run efficiently in a large part due to Principle Anderson s leadership. As I parent, I so appreciate the effort in every decision that is based on Tropical Elementary mission to provide all its children with a successful educational experience. On any given day, parent volunteers and staff can be found throughout the school giving assistance to our students and teachers in the classrooms. In addition, their efforts, hours of service, and support have provided educational student events, fun-filled family activities, and the purchase of much needed equipment and resources for our students. In these challenging financial times, there are not enough words to express my sincere appreciation to each and every volunteer and community resident who support our district and work tirelessly for our children. I thank all of Tropical Elementary staff, volunteers and especially the teachers and Principal Anderson, for making a difference everyday in the lives of all of our children and by doing so, invest in the success of our school district as well as the future of our community!

Tropical Elementary School is like a large family. Everyone cares and takes care of each other. It is located in a neighborhood where many of the parents of current students grew up....including the Principal, Mr. Erik Anderson. Mr. Anderson grew up down the street and had the pleasure of hiring his former teacher to become his Assistant Principal many years later. Most families who grew up in Plantation choose to send their children there for the quality of education, the hometown atmosphere and the location. The PTA is strong and so is teacher involvement. Everyone from teachers to cafeteria workers to the front office secretaries is always willing to go the extra mile to help out a child and make them achieve their personal best!

I have an excellent feeling when talking with teachers and staff at this school. I feel my son is in a sound, safe learning environment and is being challenged mentally.

This school is great. Here you will find a highly skilled and experienced team that really cares about the children they teach. In this school teachers hug a kid they once had in their class with a loving smile and shed tears when it's time to say goodbye at the end of the school year. What more can you ask for. A rare gem.

I attended Tropical as a student way back when. The school was excellent then and now today my two daughters have completed their elementary experience through Tropical. And what a wonderful experience it has been. This school excels far and beyond expectations. The caring attitude of the teachers helped my daughter get on track and be successful middle and high school students. My daughter loved her 5th grade team of teachers Ms. Fritz, Mr Garcimonde and Ms. Shapiro....The Best We will miss you Tropical.

I am Taylor, i went to Tropical and it was the best school ever, my favorite teacher was Mrs. Giganti i had her in 2nd grade now I am in 10th and it just blows me away how fast that went by.

I am really impressed. There is so much heart in this school. The principal, staff, and teachers seem to be in sync. They are a real team with the best in mind for the students. It really surpassed my expectations. You almost get the sense that they would do their jobs without pay because they seem to really want to be there. It feels like a 'small town' school in a large county. Class size seems good, too. Most parents when asked say they love it! Now I see why. Overall, a very dedicated group of educators who go beyond the classroom to give the kids a wonderful learning experience. Thanks, Tropical!

I have 3 children currently attending Tropical Elementary. I have been very impressed with the level of teacher involvement. The teachers have managed to exceed my expectations in just about every way.

Tropical Elementary is and has always been a great school. I, as a parent today, attended there many years ago and I wanted my daughter to go there as well. The principal is very nice and always pleasant. He knows you by name. The staff are basically on top of their game and have a lot of experience. As far as public schools go, this is one of the best!
