I have not yet had a positive experience with this school. I particularly don't after with the confiscation and redistribution of the students personal supplies. I bought my child very nice, somewhat expensive school supplies and she is currently not using any of them although several other students are.

It's like every year they have a different principle and staff who doesn't know how to follow the rules that are put in place. I have had a problem every year with my son being either bullied or bothered. Now my son is far from an angel, but if there is a problem no matter how big or small it is, the parent should always be notified. If we as the parents are not notified, so we can correct our kids at home, then they will never straighten up while at school. Teachers want to say that they have no time to always contact a parent. SERIOUSLY! These kids are going to get tired of constantly saying stuff to teachers about other kids bothering them, with nothing getting done, because we never find out, that they take it into their own hands. And when they get ISS(in school suspension), parents are not notified before a referral is written, because the teachers didn't have time or couldn't, us parents have to go in and deal with some really incompetent people. If my son started something, I want to know so I can take care of it. If the other kid started I want to know what's being done about it. I know of 5 parents of 5 different kids, who are pulling their kids out of this school because of different issues. It should not be like this. Then for me as a parent to be told by the teacher that it's the end of the school year, the kids usually act up because they are done. Then to go on and say the TEACHERS ARE DONE AS WELL. Really!?!?! Teachers should not be done until that last second of that last day of school. If you feel that way you should have never signed up to be a teacher. We as parents should be comfortable with school our kids are in.

Our child has attended VPK through 4th grade at PBE and we were very happy up until the past two years. We feel, that while her teachers liked and encouraged our child, she is not receiving the same level of education. We do not receive correspondence from the teacher on a regular basis, but we did receive 3 different report cards for one quarter worth of grades. We have had almost no contact with the new principal, Mrs Milieu us sorely missed. Our child will no longer be attending PBE. In my opinion, the entire school needs an overhaul, buildings and teachers alike.

Totally completely agree with the previous review. Since Migliosi Left this school has turned into a complete disastor.. the pricipal is a complete nightmare and is suspend happy and also screams at the children.. this has passed on to the teachers who no longer care about her students.. My fiancee who is now 35 went to this school when he was a child and told us we will not be returning next year

My child attended 1 year there. The building is dilapidated & falling apart, the a/c hardly works & is on it's last limb & the playground is a swing set & a tiny plastic slide. Despite all the fundraising efforts they still had next to nothing in the playground fund. The teachers do the best with what they had but my child was ahead in reading & most other areas so he got little to no encouragement when it came to academics. It's definitely a squeaky wheel gets the oil situation. He didn't advance hardly at all until I continued to tutor at home, so basically the school was like a daycare. The other children were very rough & not at all pleasant. If you teach your kid manors, kindness and responsibility you'll be shocked at how these other kids act. It's like an animal house. The principal at the time (thank goodness for them they got a new one) would baby talk and dress very inappropriate for a women of her age, stature and build. They taught some strange moral code from a self help book. Meanwhile, I witnessed teachers manhandling students right outside of the office & nothing was done. The only good thing was the science nights. We won't be returning to say the least.

I think this school is wonderful. It has been my experience that the staff there is very helpful and goes out of their way to meet the needs of the children and their parents.

Palm Bay Elementary is an AWESOME school. My daughter has been going here since Pre-K and she is now in 3rd grade. Every year she has been blessed with amazing teachers that give 150%. The principal Mrs. Migliori makes our children her #1 priority. The whole staff is all about the children! My daughter has been in Mrs. Miller's Gifted program going on 3 years now and it has been a very rewarding experience. Thank you our Palm Bay Elementary Family!!!
