Our experience with this school has been Amazing. The staff, teachers and existing students have welcomed my son with open arm's and loving hearts. I would recommend this school to everyone looking to have a community that builds character, humility, graciousness and a good overall human being. This is our first year and we are so grateful.

My daughter has excelled academically and in her personal approach by attending this school. She is excited to attend school every day as she is able to explore her music, science and math interests. She loves the school and has thrived. Yesenia Hira

Its not bad but could improve more.

Terrible school terrible kids terrible education. Removed my kid after 1 month and urge others to do so

There is nothing good I can say. Such a disappointment. Overly focused on sports and trying to paint their pig with lipstick. The principal is too busy trying to be friends with her students and keep up her Facebook page.

Don't go to this school, the principal Daniel Switzer is very bad and biased person, he punishes students more than encouragements. He unfairly treated my son, when I found it, he threatened to expel my son...I 100 % don't recommend this school.

Amazing staff! We couldn’t have asked for a better 1st grade teacher for my grandson. It’s nice to have him look forward to going to school everyday and know that he’s safe while he there to.

I am happy with the school set up, my son has learned a lot.

We do not recommend this school at all

My son had to go elsewhere. The bullying and fighting is out of control. Counselors are slammed. It's not a safe place for sensitive kids.

As a parent who sent both my children to St. Amelias, pre-k through 8th grade, I feel like reflecting on my experience at the school for 14 years. There were some wonderful teachers, teachers who cared, saw the best in the kids, was able to reach them and make a connection. And some who really didn't... teachers who would rather scream than advise, or would chastise than try to understand their students. I debated 100's of times sending the kids to public school or another catholic school, but the kids just loved their friends and I just never took the leap. It is something I will question about my parenting for years to come. St. Amelias is a good elementary school. Not great, but good. The kids are safe and they are learning. The middle school is a problem. The administration treats the middle schoolers like little kids and they in turn, do not rise to the occasion. It's very restrictive and doesn't give children any room to grow or even make mistakes in a safe environment. 2 of my sons classmates were expelled for mundane infractions because the rules at the school are draconian. My own son walked the line there. He was told in 8th grade he would be expelled for saying "sh*t" on the playground and they gleefully told him they would ruin his chances at St. Joes over it. This didn't inspire him to do better, it just made him angry and ready to get out. The kids have such a narrow margin of behavior it's alarming. Beyond the extreme code of conduct, if your child has a learning disability, look elsewhere. In fourth grade my son's teacher insisted my son was having seizures, after months of neurology appointments, MRIs, psychologists, they determined my son was BORED in school. He was staring out the window because he was bored. And the teacher was overheard making fun of him at an event and administration did nothing to rectify this. A child with ADHD or a learning disability will not do well here. They are tossed aside and humiliated. Again, I feel terrible looking back that we didn't change schools. Ultimately, the school is very strict to the point of suffocating. The priest is horrible and mean to both kids and parents and routinely berates families for not doing enough. The principal is fine, but she adheres to draconian punishment and rules of behavior. My daughter is flourishing in NYC in college and my son is at St. Joes and doing amazing. It makes me sad they had to work so hard just to get the bare minimum. Be very wary of this school.

My child started in 5th grade here. He immediately was welcomed in and has had a great experience thus far! He has gained confidence and abilities that he never had before attending! Highly recommend!

I am a current student at this school and hate it here. People said it would be more fun and freeing going to middle school, I'm a 7th grader in its school, and all years of being here have been horrid. The teachers are too strict and mean. It feels like they discourage us, and make us want to die with the homework and work overload. Yes, there are a few nice teachers, who explain things to you in extreme detail to make sure you don't get lost. But the teachers who expect us to learn or understand the first time doing the topic is so annoying. It makes me want to cry whenever I get frustrated but the teacher couldn't care less, they'd just say, "You weren't paying enough attention." or "You were probably concentrating on something else." I could go on an entire rant about this school, but I don't feel like typing that much. This school has a lot of bullying in it and the teachers don't do anything about it. In gym, the girls get constantly harassed and annoyed. In classes, some teachers won't believe a colored student when they say a white kid is bothering them. I hate it here. Sincerely, a current student at this horrid school

This is our fourth year at Harbor Day School, and I am incredibly pleased with the education that my child is getting at the school in the lower school. Not only is the teaching strong, but there is a big emphasis on the well-being of each child. All his teachers care deeply about him and really want him to be his best self. I also love that students get specialty classes in science, technology, woodshop, library, art, and Spanish. Initially, I was worried about our family integrating socially at the school, being that we do not live in the nearby community. I have found that being active (as a parent) in the school is important to feel that sense of community. Overall, our entire family has had a great experience.

Today, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt thoughts about Oasis Charter Middle School in Cape Coral. It's a school that has played a significant role in shaping the educational journey of my family, with my son completing three years here and my daughter currently enjoying 6th grade. Oasis Charter is more than just a school; it's a haven of academic excellence. The challenges provided are not just rigorous but tailored to ensure that students not only learn but thrive in an environment that encourages growth. I'd be remiss not to mention the incredible staff, particularly Dean of Students Amy Picciolo and Principal Donnie Hopper. Their dedication to the students is evident, creating an atmosphere where every student feels supported and seen. What sets Oasis apart is the genuine care that the entire staff demonstrates. It's like one big family working together to mold these young minds into future leaders. As a parent, I couldn't ask for more. Whether you're a local resident seeking the right school for your kids or someone considering a move to Cape Coral, Oasis Charter Middle School deserves your attention. It's not just a school; it's a community where dreams are nurtured and futures are shaped. Here's to academic excellence and a bright future for our kids!
