This school is so full of problems. If we could have gotten our child into Babson Park Elementary, we would have. The principal is not friendly toward parents or the children, and the really great teachers that you can get here are outnumbered by the ones that have no idea how to successfully run a classroom.

This school has so many problems just starting with the principal! If you are lucky enough, though, there are some wonderful teachers here. The problem is ,if you are unlucky your poor child is sunk for an entire year. Pressure for the FCAT is huge on the children and the teachers alike. The principal has no idea how to resolve conflict and gets terribly flustered easily. All you can do here is hope for the best!

The school is excellent. Teachers communicate well with parents and the students are given a high quality education. In this day and age of FCAT and pressure from the No Child Let Behind Act that forces schools to be defined by numbers and complicated formulas, the teachers do not pass this stress on to the students. The teachers give the students a high quality education and I think they deserve the praise they have earned.

excellent art program, need for more extracurriculum activities, no sports as in other schools, lack of bilingual teachers, many signs missing to direct parents when delivering kids or taking back home.
