I'm not sure why this school is underrated, given all it has to offer. It stands out as one of the best elementary schools in the area and truly deserves more recognition. The school is surrounded by an excellent community, with beautiful properties that enhance its appeal. The staff and teachers are dedicated, creating an environment where students can excel academically and personally.The only minor issue is the lack of a school bus service, as my home is just 1.1 miles away, which falls outside the eligibility range for transportation. However, the convenience of the location and the close-knit community more than make up for this. With its well-rounded curriculum, committed leadership, and excellent facilities, this school is undoubtedly among the best, not just in the U.S. but also globally. It truly deserves a higher rating.

I am grateful that my twins are in this school. One of my kids needed additional help and the school is going above and beyond to help him. They even did and assessment to see what can of help he needed and create a personal plan for him. He has been doing great and passing all his state exams. I am so proud and happy to be part of this school. God bless the staff and teachers who are committed to child's success. I will recommend this school to everyone.

The school have a good facility, but need to improve the communication with parents. We do not know what material they are teaching at school to be able to reinforce at home, especially when there are children who have difficulties in some areas. In addition, I think establishing the most important subjects in the afternoon is anti-academic, since the child is already tired and his performance is affected. Also, they does not integrate the family in any event and it is important for children to see the support they receive from their parents for their achievements. Respectively, we do not know anything about what happens from the door to the inside.In other schools within Florida, there are other dynamics that contribute to the comprehensive development of the student. It is not only academics that make a student able to respond favorably to the goals of the school. Unfortunately this school is very closed to a comprehensive curriculum. They do not drop out of their program even if they have children with learning difficulties.

This school has exceeded my expectations as a parent. My daughter loves going to school and has had an excellent teacher since she started in Kindergarten. The school communicates with parents and I always feel informed of what events are coming next. The leadership has changed since my daughter started and I am very happy with how the school has continued to progress.

The school has the students be very involved in academics and extra curricular activities. Mrs. Belinda Reyes, the principal is very good with the students and all the teachers like how she works with them. The pride shows at the school everywhere you visit, from the lunch room with music to the carnival with activities. My kids are in this school since it opened two years ago and they enjoyed it very much. Way to go!
