A friend of mind told me she was interested in this school until she read the reviews and was scared off. I told my friend that these reviews were all written between 04-06 and the hate focused on everything but academics because the academics at this school are challenging. There is homework every week and the children are tested regularly. The uniform rules are expected to be followed and every kid will practice being respectful to themselves and others which is a major problem with our young today. If you are looking for a school with callenging academics, one that builds character and develop children socially and culturally, this may be your place but you have to be your own judge. If you are looking for a school where you as the parent make the rules, try home school. This way you can be the teacher and the principal.
My son is two grade levels behind. While attending public school he was below in every subject. His reading and writing was terrible. After failing the FCAT I removed him from public school. He struggled upon first attending this school but by the time he took the FCAT again he had excelled. He improved 150% overall. I like the academics here and have decided to place my niece here as well. My son has learned a great deal from this school. Parent involvement is requested, you must make yourself available. I have been involved as well as my older children in different activites at this school. They teach displine, self respect, responsibility, and accountability. These are things that children will need in order to function properly in this society. School is about learning not playing.
This School is terrible. They are very lazy with homework assignments, they give you a very large packet and your supose to do this packet with a multi child family? My child felt like it was a test everyday. The reasearch was too hard for my child. Then they would have no homework at all. My child gets free lunch, not Here. I was told to pack a lunch every day,that means snack too? They inform you about activities at the last minute. I like the teaching stylebut not all the crap that came with it.Not allowed on the grounds without permission first,Why?
I would not recoment this school to any parent. my children attended and they were miserable. We could not wait for the year to end. the principle lacks the people skill and the knowledge to run a school. this is not a school it is a 'prison' I took them out and place them in another public school those kids have blooson into very happy kids who love school. If you love your child you would look for another school. the teachers have to follow the rules of the principal so I could not blame them for the way they handle the kids. also there is a lot of turn over she gets good teachers and assistant and the principal just talks to them like they were 5 years old. a very difficult person to deal with. not a good school. don't allow parents to visit with out an appointment. terrible. jp
