The school is doing great, math & english has more emphasis. AR & ReadingPlus is mandatory for all students. It really helps to improve reading & language skills.However the teachers emphasize less on Science, Social studies & sports. I felt there is no emphasis on Arts or skill development at all.

We love this school. They are all very professional- principal, counselor, front desk, teachers. Very quick to address issues and make needed changes . To me it makes a difference when a school team truly cares, and it shows at Thornebrooke. Kudos to this excellent school! And thanks...

My daughter started here in 1st grade from an out of state school. She was a little behind when she started, but by Thanksgiving break, she had done more that caught up, she was ahead, and LOVING it. Her teacher, Ms. Hooks, and the rest of the staff really went above and beyond my expectations to help her out along the way. She has made some wonderful friends here and looks forward to going to school. I love this school!

The Thornebrooke community is outstanding. The school is justifiably proud of it's ten year A rating, but excellence goes far beyond that. Everyone from principal to parent is a respected partner in the educational process. If it takes a village to raise a child, this is the village to join.

My son has great experience at his school. He enjoys all the computer learning programs. Principal and teachers work hard with parents to make ensure bully free environment.

Enriched learning for the children with smart boards in every classroom, computer programs that tailor to each child's reading ability, premium teaching staff that is stable at the school, unbeatable Drama program and support. After care program is fabulous as well as there are other educational programs one can enroll their child in: Dance, Drama, Golf, Spanish and Music. Media Center (aka library) is outstanding, outfitted with a smart board and ample computers ... and not to mention a very smart and kind librarian! My daughter is in 1st grade, she's attended this school for one year now. I chose the school based on the FCAT scores versus other schools in the area, but this school has exceeded my expectations in ways I didn't know it could. Thanks, Thornebrooke! Parent involvment is through the roof with a stellar PTO! There are always social events for the school organized by the PTO. Such a warm, nurturing school that is run by a budgetary genious: Mr. Daniels, the principal.

This school is excellent. Great teachers, great kids, great parents. I really have nothing negative to say. Between my four kids, I have been involved with four elementary schools and Thornebrooke is definitely the best -- even better than the private schools in the area!

This is the most fantastic school! I have 3 children. All with different learning styles. All were very accomodated. The Drama/Dance program is unbelievable. The special tutoring for my daughter was much needed. The computer software this school has is hard to match for all children. The PTO and fundraisers allow this school to be top notch. Behind Thornebrooke is a gated neighborhood. There will be nothing more memorable than my walking my kids to/from school throughout their elementary school years.

My son was staffed in the Autism program at Thornebrooke from another zone. The entire staff at this school is amazing. Each teacher has an intimate awareness of the needs of special kids and each person was willing to go out of their way to help whenever needed. This school is so outstanding that we transferred our daughter from our home school (as sibling of an ESE student) so that she could benefit from the excellent teaching and programs. Thornebrooke has given so much to our kids -- we could never say enough good things about this school, the principal Mr. Daniels, and the entire staff. They go 'above and beyond' for the students every single day! We love Thornebrooke!
