My daughter has been attending this school since 2021 and I have not complains since then... every teacher that she had, have been nice with her and all of her classmates. She is in 2nd grade right now and she already knows how to read and math.

Piense bien en inscribir su hijo en esta escuela, aquí hay una cantidad de descontrol, maestros muy rude, deberían hacer una investigación en el personal, mucho abuso de poder. No respetan los derechos ni la seguridad de los niños.

If your children attend Miami Heights Elementary, ask them if their teachers have been disrespectful out the mouth towards them. I experienced disrespectful behavior from teachers today while speaking to 4th graders. The principal doesn't seem to care as he allows teachers to act as they please.Yes I called the school board on them.

Horrible experience for our 6 year old child. Yhe teachers and principal at this school do not care about the children. They changed the teacher 3 times in one year. A respected teacher would never work at this place because of management. This school needs to be investigated.

The educational program at the school seems to be terribly outdated, the office staff is unfriendly and clueless about what is going on in the school. My children are only learning what we teach them at home and I cannot wait until the school year is over to transfer them.

My 2 sons went to this school for Kindergarten and Pre-K. What a horrible experience to see the beyond dirty cafeteria floors and classrooms. It's to be expected the kids would get sick in this environment. My older son skipped by (barely) with a teacher who couldn't control the classroom and my younger son who is autistic was completely neglected and ignored. Being autistic is difficult enough and sending him to a program that is "specialized" for these kind of kids should be comforting but it was torture to know that my son would come home starving and with a dirty diaper. EVERY picture taken at that school is showing my son with a dirty face. I would NEVER recommend this school. All complaints and not very much was good.

This school was a great school back in the 80's & 90's. My personal opinion is if ur child will b there for Kinder & 1st grade is ok, after that, b prepared to deal with more than u bargained for. NOT a A school. U will b teaching ur child more than they learn in class. No good afterschool program, they DO NOT teach or help w/homework. I'm going to remove my child from this school. She'll b better off at another.

My 4 year old daughter, who was supposed to start her first day of Pre-K today, walked out of the classroom this morning and the TWO teachers that are assigned to that class had no idea where she was or what had happened. Needless to say, I have signed my child out of that school and will be sending her to a private preschool. What got me heated to a boiling point was the lack of concern on their part, they had no clue of what was happening and acted as if I was over reacting. I'm sure they would OVER REACT if their child had disappeared and the people that were entrusted to care for her had no idea where she was too. The principal is about as clueless as the teachers, showed no concern at all, the only thing he could tell us was that there is only 1 security guard, who was chatting with some other guys instead of watching the hallways, etc. I am just disgusted with the entire school, they are a disgrace.......
