Teachers are truly dedicated, students show school spirit, parents are always willing to volunteer! Sweetwater Elementary has a great school community with tons of exciting and educational extracurricular activities. The education of the students is highly valued by all staff, and students are encouraged to work beyond their ability, with positive reinforcement and respect for everyone within the community. There is no shortage of education in this school and their grade of 'A' is also proof of all the hard work going on in Sweetwater Elementary!
The teachers are caring and it is a safe and friendly environment
Not only does the school have high standards and get great results, but the atmosphere is very inclusive and welcoming. There is a great sense of belonging, family, camaraderie, and general good-will among parents, teachers and students. Having experienced other schools, I can say that this one stands out as a winner.
Great school, Great teachers, Great students.
My 2 children went from K to 5th grade at this school. After leaving I now can see what a fantastic group of teachers and staff that was there. SWE is thebest school you could hope for for your child. Love, Kindness, and Education is #1. Also parental involvement is tops, We Loved this School and wish it the best of life. Anyone would be lucky to go to this school.
This school is excellent. We purchased our house because of the school district designation.
I highly recommend this school. It has teachers that do a wonderful job. My son has been going to Sweetwater for 4 years. Overcrowding will not be a problem since there will be students going to the new school that was built near their neighborhood.
Good shcool for academics, A school, a little over crowded, high parental involvement.
We are new to Florida and were tentative about the schools here having heard negative news about Fl schools in the past. However, we have been pleasantly surprised. Our little guys is a second grader at Sweetwater and he is flourishing. The teachers are supportive and communicative about the children's progress. The learning and lessons seem aimed at motivating the kids to work hard and their progress is closely monitored. We've seen work that we thought was beyond second grade only to watch our son wiz through it! Obviously, they know what 7 year olds are capable of. They have a lovely building with safety conscious staff. Our son also has music, art and Pe on a regular basis. We love Sweetwater elementary
Great academic programs! Daily music, art, or physical education. Many opportunities for parents to be involved: family days, lunch hour, feild trips, volunteer in classroom, ect. We are very pleased with Sweetwater.
