This school is beyond amazing... My first son is graduating this year and during his whole time at Hammock Pointe we have being blessed with amazing and very dedicated teachers. Now my second child just started Kindergarten and again we have been blessed with a wonderful and talent teacher. So our experience have been just great at Hammock...

All throughout my 5 years at this school I loved each teacher an they all have a way of personally connecting with each student to ensure that the student understand what’s being taught

It is my daughters first year in a public shool. She is blessed to be Ms. Prelli's student. I like the school, the staff, communication is good. Ms. Prelli is a great teacher, my daughter tells me she loves her all the time. And I love her too.

Extremely disorganized, rude reception staff, vice-principal is rude to the parents. School does nothing to provide quality assistance to both parents and children. The only person that has assisted my child in every aspect with respect and sincere concern has been Ms. Venegas. I can't say the same about everybody else. Looking to transfer my son to another school ASAP.

The vice principal is so rude disrespectful too parents. My child change schools this year this would be his second week at his new school so far my child loves it. I feel my child will be better and learn better at the new school.

Not happy with the kindergarten teacher my grandson has this year. Does not communicate well between home and school. Always tells us about the negative behavior and never says anything good about his day. Hasn't had a one on one conference with us and the first nine weeks session is over. Contacted administration about some issues with this teacher and didn't even get any response from them till I sent a second email a few days later and they said it was still in their draft folder. Not very professional. Never told us what was done about the situation just that they talked to her. Haven't seen any changes since emails went out. Uses a sticker chart and sends home for it to be signed but you have no clue why he received the stickers or for what . Should be telling us about the chart and how he earned the stickers as we can't reinforce positive behavior or praise for the day at home. Very horrible first experience for my daughter and myself. New to this district and doesn't give us a good impression of how things are being run.

My first child attended this school 15 years ago and I was so pleased with the quality and care that I am looking to move back to this area to educate my 2nd child. South Florida is a difficult area to raise a child and the staff of this school made it much easier. Thank you

The teachers are wonderful. The picking up line it's terrible! You cannot do u turns and the neighbors think they own the street. When a student need ESE , it's never tested unless parents request it, or scream on school board. They are raising their school level and kids are not following. School it's overcrowded . No many clubs for kids, and the ones they have are not offered to all.

They waited until end of the year to send red flags. Parents are not welcome in the school
