This school has been amazing for both of my children. I have one in the lower and upper campus and both are challenged and have teachers who care about them. The school has grown quite a lot but it still remains the best option in a state that invests very little in public education.

Just to clarify to the last review. Mr. Yutac has been at the school when they first started five years ago as an advanced Spanish teacher not PE. Also, has been involved with many school events every year to raise funds etc so he knows a lot about the school. It's a charter school so you make due with what you get, the building in particular which is a lot better then what they started with. The main focus for this school is academics so as a parent if that's what your concered about then this is a great school. The kids are more challenged in the core subjects then any public schoolthat my kids went to.

If you really want to send your kids in a place that does not even teachers with a degree send them here. The Dean of this school Jonathan Yutac was the PE teacher last year. They do not even have a gym they take the kids to a park nearby. you pay $225 every semester and only 5% of it goes to the classes and they still use books from 1995 . Please consider my advise.

My kids have been at this school for two years now and I was more impressed with the first year. The school as grown tremendously since we began and the administration doesn't know how to keep up. As for the educational aspect, I do believe that it is better then a regular public school. Some teachers that they hired this year are certainly questionable at the Sandy Ridge campus. As with any other school, some teachers are great and others should have their contracts reevaluated. As I stated before the administration could definitely be better, especially at the beginning of the school year. Things are extremely chaotic and frustrating for the parents and staff due to disorganization. Depending on what campus your child is at, reflects how you look at the administration. The Tamarus campus administration (K-2) is very good. The Windmill campus administration (3-5) is just okay and needs improvement. The Sandy Ridge campus upper administration (6-12) and teachers are often rude to parents and kids. I give it three stars because although there is a lot left to be desired, my kids educational needs are being met at this time.

this school is amazing. They emphasize the importance of learning to each child and parent. The education my child has received is amazing in every way. I have spoken to parents that have allowed their children to leave this school in favor of public high schools and they are very disappointed. Wouldn't change a thing.

I switched my children to this school because I believed public was failing them. This is the best thing I've ever done for my children. Unlike many parents who switched to this school I switched because my one child was struggling at public. I fought for intervention at everyone kept saying he was fine even though his grades continued to slip. At Coral his grades have improved dramatically and more importantly I feel like he is learning and progressing again. The teachers intervene if they see trouble. The homework load is very challenging. This school is much more work if you have a child who is not an academic achiever. With that, my kids are both happy and thriving. This is the best thing I've ever done for my children.
