I work in the district and have the option of sending my children to either our home school or other schools in the district. Based upon the strength of the IB program, their nationally recognized and awarded character education program, the amazing teachers and staff, and their international focus I choose to send my children to Wilton Manors. It is truly one of the best Elementary Schools I have ever seen.

They are caring and patient. They take the time to help and direct the child, not just say it then expect them to know it.

While much good has been done at this school as far as raising the school's grade there has been a cost-most notably the excellent reputation the school enjoyed among special ed families. A great deal of emphasis is placed on reading, but if a student has difficulty in other areas, such as math, no help is available unless their teacher is willing to stay after school just for them. Everything is neat and tidy at this school and the technology is good. If your student is an average, middle of the road kid you should have few problems; otherwise, it can be difficult to get the help they need.

What an awesome school! My children just started at Wilton Manors this year and are in the first and third grades. I am so pleased with the staff here! My first grader is bipolar and everyone has just been so wonderful in dealing with her issues. The teachers and staff are so supportive. My third grader has a great teacher and my son is learning so much. My whole family is so happy with Wilton Manors!

I have had 2 children attend this school from k-5 and my youngest is currently enrolled. The teachers are so involved in her learning process. I have been an involved parent with all of them and these teachers are what makes this school. My children have excelled in every subject esp reading and math due to these superb teachers.

About the tests

In 2012-2013 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing in grades 4, 8 and 10. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests

Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
