Coral Reef Elementary School

Posted September 18, 2009

I had to register my dauther in CRE this year because we moved to the area, she was in an excellent charter school all her life and this has been quite the adjustment. The security is a joke, there's no afterschool programs not even homework assistance! The way math is taught it's ridiculous and uniforms? kids wear whatever and it just looks horrible..

Many of the previous reviews seem focused on the security policy which was implemented at the beginning of 2007 but it has changed drastically since the start of a new pricipal. For a big, scary city like Miami, Coral Reef Elem is a great neighborhood school with many outstanding teachers and tremendous parental involvement. The weakest link is the kindergarten which has a few teachers who are overdue to retire but other than that, it has abeen a great experience.

CRE looks great on paper and that is it. I regret moving my children out of private school. The new principal is not doing any positive changes to the school. The classrooms, bathroom, and lunchroom all need a good cleaning. If your child is not in the gifted or Spanish program they are with children that come from outside the area. The art, music and Spanish programs are a sad group classes that no learning really happens. There are no afterschool programs, not even chess club. Hate the way math is taught, they seem to jump around the book in some chaotic manner.
