this school is amazing the other schools could not compare to the outstanding performance of this school . teachers are great the parent envolve ment the community all is great !!!!
My child is in sixth grade now, but attended this school from second through fifth grade and I have been extremely pleased. The teachers are so involved and encourage parents to be as well. Everyone comes together which is how it's supposed to be. For the best interest of the children. My son will be attending this fall for kindergarten and I and he can't wait!!
I have been at this school for 6 years and it is the best school ever parents are involved in every way from PTA to Substituing and being active with their child.
My son is going in to second grade at Florence Hill and we have had nothing but positive experiences! The staff is wonderful and he has had 2 wonderful teachers. Parents are encouraged to get involved and help out wherever needed. I am glad that we are able to go to Florence Hill.
My son has attended Florence Hill for three years now. I have had excellent luck with teachers so far. The school has a positive attmosphere and frequent recognition for jobs well done. I have the choice of many schools, but I choose to keep him at Flo Hill. Parent involvement seems to be adequate. I work, but have no trouble staying involved.
My kids have been at this school for 4 yrs and overall I think they did ot get the best help from teachers as they fall behind it appears to many kids need tutoring and they do not have enough teachers tutoring after hours so they have to wait until there is a spot. I would be willig to offer to pay for one of the teachers there to private tutor my kids but none is offered or thy can not refer anyone. I just can't not understand why they would ot offer such a list as an additional way to supplement a teachers income and it would be worth it and my kids deserve it instead they suffer to fall behind.
My son had a great Kindegarten experience last year at Florence Hill. After relocating from New York, it was quite pleasing to find a school with teachers that care about their students. Great school, good teachers...Way to go Florence Hill.
I am sad to hear about the few 'bad experiences' at Florence Hill. I am sure every school has had their situations. We have been involved in Florence Hill for the past 6 years, and I have been very pleased with the education that my children are receiving. They both test in the top percent in the country in their grade levels. I am especially happy with the new principal, Ms. Milham. The past 2 years that she has been there we have seen an enormous improvement. The parental involvement is exceptional, and the teaching staff and administrative staff are very friendly and seem to love what they do! The teachers that we have had have been exceptional, and have lots of experience and a love for teaching! We have the means to send our children to private school, but gave Florence Hill a chance and we have been very pleased!

My children have gone to Florence Hill since Kindergarten. Their teachers have been outstanding. They have always had the highest expectations for my children. I appreciate all that my children have learned at Florence Hill.
