When you send your tiny humans to school you do your best to find where they will grow and be treated as if they are one of the teachers own. I choice to this school specifically for the growth, safety and opportunities to succeed from this school. My kids love going to school and that is all I could’ve hoped for when sending them off to a place to learn for 7 hours a day.

This school has a massive bullying problem and nothing is done to the bullies, but heaven forbid if a child stands up for themselves. I will be pulling my kids from this school.

The teachers are amazing and the leadership is strong. Public schools get a bad rap sometimes and many children are from homes where there is little support. Teachers have to deal with this everyday. I think the staff does a good job addressing the needs of the students.

This school was good a few years back but it is terrible now the worse thing about it is the front office staff there is a Hispanic lady who sits in the front she is so rude she looks at you like you're crazy she thinks she's the president of United States and she's only a Administration Assistant very very poor communication! Before long this school will be going down you can't treat parents like trash! I have taking further steps in writing yhe school board! next year my child will not attend sorrento elementary you think the principal would step in and see how these front office staff treat the parents but nothing has been done! Sad!!!!

I have had a child attending this school since it opened. Every year I am amazed such a great school could get even better the next year. Best school year yet for my children this year, 2014-15. The new principal is fantastic! So many good things are happening at Sorrento Elementary; excellent education and a true elementary school experience for my kids. My family loves Sorrento Elementary!

Our children have been attending the school for the last five years and up until this year it was a wonderful school. Due to a change in leadership that is not the case any longer. It has been an A rated school but I would predict it will not be after this year. Also due to a huge influx of new students this year the average class size is around 25 students, so your child will not get the attention he or she deserves to excel.

I went to visit the school for VPK program and I was treated really matter of fact. I was told I could not tour the school at anytime and that my application had to be selected and then I would be called to tour. My husband called to verify and they said that is their principals policy. I am zoned for this school and hope to get a waiver. Really cold atmosphere and unwelcoming.

The atmosphere of this school has changed so much with the change in administration. The school has lost its community feel that was evident with the previous principal. My child has been disappointed in the boot camp like atmosphere that is being created. I am very concerned.

My child attended this school this past school year. Coming from a school we loved, we were very aprehensive to be entering a brand new school. I must say that we are very happy there. We just got our FCAT scores and even though my child had 5 in both subjects last yr., this year not only did she get 5 again but showed gains. We are proud to attend this school and would recommended to everyone.
