This is a wonderful school. The 4H program, green initiatives, chorus, and orchestra programs are just some of the things that set this school apart. Tour this school and see for yourself.

This school is horrible. The principal (Masterson) is a bully. Parents are split between those they accept and those they treat horribly. Many parents have had to remove their children from this school and place in another or homeschool. Those that rate this school high are the ones that have been placed in the popular parents click. In the end the students suffer due to the unprofessional staff.

I'm very unhappy with they way my children were treated at this school and the way I was treated. There was way to much negative judgement between parents and teachers. I've noticed a lot of wide spread negativity around this area in the last 20 years... not only in the Public School System but also in the Medical Field. People need to lighten up and stop judging everyone so fast. Act more like Professionals people and be nice.

Surfside is the best school, not only beachside but all of the states we have lived in! I have three children and all the teachers we have had, take my children's education as a high priority. The school keeps high standards of behavior, parent involvement is extremely high (with Many ways, just sign the I'm interested slip at the beginning of the year or jump on the face book group and your email with fill up ;) ) , and so many opportunities to get kids involved. Extra events for the community of the school, music programs, after school dance, cheer, chess, bridge, garden club, running club, and math clubs.... the list goes on. I cant say enough about how thankful we are to be apart of this school.

This school is amazing and our son wakes excited to go to school everyday. What a great feeling.

This school has impressed me from the moment I walked on it's campus. It's an older facility yet the charm and charisma of the school are heartwarming. My children were resistent to move schools yet within a few weeks at Surfside were fitting in marvelously with the kids and instructors. Teaching philiosophies and technology are impressive, families are very inviting, and the community is exceptional. The entire team at Surfside has made our move to this school something we will never regret.
