Sand Pine Elementary School

Our child studied there since kinder; unfortunately we had to move and we miss all the positive enviorement & great education he was receiveing. We felt part of the school as a great family. We are considering to move back just to keep our son in such a great elementary. We miss you so much SPES.

My grandchildren go to Sand Pine Elementary and are doing very well at that school. The teachers there seem to be involved and interested in their students.

Both of my kids go there and they love it but the school needs money for a computer lab, etc.

Execellent school & teachers. Gorgeous grounds. But they need lots of stuff!!!!

Great school and my grandkids love going there!!

Sand Pine is a great school for 'cookie cutter' children. However, if your child is outside of the box, socially or academically, than this is not the school for you. We have had positive experiences with our special needs child in another school, but at Sand Pine our child has been left out since day one. We spent a lot of time researching schools before we moved to this area. And again, it is a good school if your child is bright and a model student. (We have one of those too.) But they do not know how/want to meet the needs of those who struggle. It has been a very painful experience for us and our learning disabled child. The staff and administration are more concerned with meeting state standards, (which is unfortunate to be in that position) than meeting the needs of the individual.

The teachers and staff not only provide strong educational programs, they also teach the children to respect themselves, their fellow school mates. Mrs. Ward has been influential in teaching my shy child that you can 'Do it if you try' and the encouragement and mentoring has helped her truly to become a beautiful little butterfly. I thank the school for encouraging parents to become a part of the children's learning process which for our family provides reassurance to our child that we love and care about her as an individual. I am very proud to belong to such a FANTASTIC school!

Sand Pine has always made great effort in putting education a priority. Everyone there cares about the kids! The teachers are great! The entire school has made communication with the parents so easy and you can always reach the teachers or staff when needed.
