I see Air Base Elementary School as the jewel of Homestead. All three of my children have attended this school under both current and past administrations and have only felt that the level of excellence has increased. Over the years, both my husband and I have contributed a great deal to support the various multicultural events that we believe enrich our family. The calibre of the teachers and their innovative approaches have provided many hands-on opportunities for my children, which has instilled in them a love for learning that they have taken to their various middle and high schools. The current principal has always been receptive to any concerns that my husband and I may have had. He makes time to individually acknowledge my children's accomplishments, whether informally in the hallways or in the more formal basis during the honor rolls. I would recommend this school to anyone who values quality education.

Having just moved here from a suburb, I have been more than pleasantly surprised at the individualized attention my son has received not only by his teachers, the librarian, the teacher's aides, and the administration. Moving to a new city I was worried about the level of curriculum that would be offered here but I have been thoroughly impressed at how much my son has learned and how the homework intergrates into the classroom lessons. I have also found the extra-curricular activities at Air Base refreshing. As a working mom I have also been grateful at the Aftercare services that my son's receives. He is able to complete much of his homework there allowing me to spend quality time with him in the evenings. I was also pleasantly surprised to see all the environmentally friendly activities going on in the school. Finally, I am appreciative of the efforts of the janitorial staff to make sure my child has a clean learning environment. I would highly recommend Air Base Elementary School.

My son has attended both KIndergarten and Pre-K at Air Base Elementary. I think this school is wonderful!! I have enjoyed the opportunities to help out for the past two years in my son's classes. The opportunity to volunteer at Air Base is truly appreciated by both the teachers and administration. I am looking forward to the wonderful years ahead that my son has at this school and I am hoping that my younger daughter's experience at Air Base will be just as great.
