Carrollwood Elementary School

I find Carrollwood Elementary to be of the finest elementary schools. The Teachers have great concerns for my daughters success in all aspects. The Principal and Vice-Principal show great Leadership of this fine school. Carrollwood Elementary has great parent envolvement events. I am honored to be a member of the best Dad's Club of any elementary school. I highly recomend this school to any and all parents.

My daughter goes to Carrollwood and loves it. The staff, from the lunchroom ladies to the pricinple, are so involved with the students and actually care about them.

I've always believed that you need to learn something new everyday and I feel that Carrollwood Elementary helps my son do that. I have already seen vast improvements in my son's education from his pre K to this years Kindergarten.

The school is AMAZING! The teachers are GREAT! We LOVE Mrs. Avery & Ms. Hastings; they really care about the school and children and make every effort to keep it great. The only issue we have with the school is the PTA and those who run it. Get involved with the school and volunteer for sure, but stay far away from the PTA!

5 Star school for sure! The 'A' the students have recieved is every bit earned. The students work hard, as well as, the teachers and administrators. There are a lot of hard working parent volunteers and the relationship between parents and administrators is very pleasant! Great school to be a part of!

I have 2 children that have attended Carrollwood. One has moved on and the other still attends. No school is perfect but Mrs. Avery and Ms. Hastings have really made a noticeable difference in the way the school is run. The PTA works closely with them and everything they do is approved by them. Please join and volunteer!

FORMERLY AN EXCEPTIONAL REVIEW: My children have gone to Carrollwood Elementary since they were 5 years old. Carrollwood was a school where the children come first- but since the end of last year that's questionable. Children are encouraged to do their best but my kids have learning difficulties and feel 'different'. The new priniciple is somewhat distant almost bureaucratic - however the VP Ms. Hastings seems warm and friendly. I'll give it another year and see what happens.

We have been very pleased with the school. My children started at the school two years ago, after being on a small charter school, and I was kind of worried for them to go to a neighborhood school. The teachers and the staff at the office were all and continue being wonderful. They love Mrs. Rojas and frequently visited her 'just to talk'. She helped them during the time they lost their paternal grandmother. We enjoy the family activities planned and there are not too too too many fundraisers. Go Owls

Both my children have gone to Carrollwood Elementary since they were 5 years old. I thought Carrollwood was a school where the children come first- but since the end of last year I question that. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best but my kids have learning difficulties and feel 'different'. The teachers work hard to bring out the best in each child. The new principal is kind and is learning each child by name. She is a great example of a leader. Thank you for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence they need to go out into the world!
