Our son is in second grade and we have been overwhelmed with the staff's ability to meet our needs. Education is taken seriously and our son loves the performance art specials! We can't wait for our youngest to start kindergarten there next year.

I have been affiliated with this school for many years as my oldest daughter, now a senior in high school started with the school when it opened. I currently have two children in this school. I could not imagine being at any other school, Muller rocks!!!!

We left a great neighborhood A+ elementary school to enroll at Muller. I have two children 1st and 5th grade and i could't be happier. I have been so pleased with this decision. Everyone is so involved with the children and are always keeping their best interest in mind. They have so much to offer and with the before and after-school program (which is also phenomenal) they can be involved while I am at work. I really couldn't ask for a better school.

We have two children in Muller and they absolutely LOVE it!! My oldest is in 5th grader this year and is already dreading leaving her school. The Principal and Staff are out of this world! They are involved in ALL events that are always held AFTER school to accommodate working parents. I couldn't possibly imagine our children at any other school. We LOVE MULLER!!!!

We were so fortunate that our daughter entered muller at first grade. Muller has been a wonderful and complete school without forgetting how fun and exciting it's been. From the principal, teachers, librarian, nurse, lunchroom workers, officer and all the staff they all make the school great. Our daughter has thrived for the top and she has had lots of fun while doing it. She has participated in music, chorus, art, dance, acting, environmental activities and the curriculum gets every year even better. If you want a complete student but most of all an individual you have to come to this school you will love it as your child will do also.

My child and I have had a wonderful experience with this school. My daughter was enrolled in a different school last year, and often came home bored because she was above the curriculum the school was teaching. Now, she is excited about going to school because of the variety of activities incorporated into the curriculum. Also, after-school activities are numerous and educational. She has also recently been accepted into the gifted program and this school helps these children works towards goals which are above and beyond what other schools strive for. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I have had nothing but great experiences from Muller. From kindergarten through now 2nd grade, each teacher has gone out of their way to challenge my son and he was recently accepted into the gifted program. Parent/teacher conferences are very in depth and helpful. I love the plays, art exhibits, and musicals that the kids held last school year. Originally, he is assigned to attend Shaw Elem. I don't believe they offer as much. My son is excited to go to school every day.

Academically behind grade level. School communication with parents on academic and extracurricular programs almost non-existant. My child first year, half way through the school year, and still no performances scheduled. My kid loves the school but mostly because 'it's easy'.

The academic programs are diverse and stimulating. My child enjoys the E-Club which is based on environmental studies. The staff and teachers are open and accepting; my child enjoys attending and feels encouraged. I would like to see more physical activities incorporated into the curriculum.

For the most part I have been extreamly please with this school and staff. The small classes have been wonderful. On a another side, I have experienced one teacher that left a lot to be desired.

With programs in music, dance, drama, and art, Muller provides a more complete learning environment than most Hillsborough County schools. My child has experienced small class sizes and good teachers at this school.
