I have 3 children ages 14,9, and 8. My 14 year old started this school when she was in head start, she is now moving on to high school. 1st lets speak about Ms. Roberts, I have worked for Hillsborough County school board for the past 7 years and I have only come across 1 other principal that I can truly say is a reflection of what a school and it's staff should strive to be like and treat their community. (Ms. Delia yarborough- Gadson, principal of Sheehy Elem.) Ms. Roberts , demands perfection, her approach : I will not ask my staff to do anything that I would not do. Meaning, in the afternoon, its Ms. Roberts the Principal, helping to direct traffic, helping to dismiss, speaking to all the parents, making sure we all feel welcome to be apart of her school. I recently asked my 9 year old , gifted son, if he would like to go to a private school for the 22/23 school year, this school focuses on areas in which he is gifted, and animals... (He would like to be a paleontologist when he is older, we currently have a zoo of animals at our house....) Even though the private school focus4ed on subject he is more interested in he demands to stay at Cleveland Elem. My son was what you would call "a Runner" in 1st and 2nd grade, there was a many times myself or spouse had to come to the school to calm him down, sometimes we would have to pick him up... Through both years Ms. Roberts , ALWAYS, made us feel welcome, she expressed how hard she knew our life was at home with him and she promised to help and maintain the positivity and stable environment for him at her school. Fast forward to now He is going into 4th grade and is a Gifted student makes mostly A's and B's with the exception of a "C" in Pe one semester. He went from the kid that was a runner and at high risk for elopement. To the student who the teacher asks to help his peers when they don't understand. He has been highly motivated to "Do the Right Thing" by the Principal, his teachers and their many staff members who go above and beyond their "Job Descriptions". I am truly grateful for the years we have spent with this school. What a pleasant experience in a world of many unpleasant ones. especially when your child had ADHD, ODD, and a Mood Dysregulation Disorder .

Let me start by saying that I have 3 kids at this school...1st , 3rd, and 5th grade. The staff at the school genuinely care about the kids best interests and make great effort to keep parent up to date about kids progress in school good or bad....i have had a great experience at this school...i love the staff and the principal is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER GUIDANCE COUNSELOR FOR MY CHILDREN EITHER. Being that this is a low income school you would think that they would not be good at keeping up with the kids with special needs but Mrs ODOM has been awesome....Mrs daisy is awesome and Mrs Denny is awesome. I just love these people. Just goes to show you cannot look at the grade of the school and judge weather or not it's worthy of your children

Cleveland Elementry is an awesome school. The Administration really cares about its students and also the families as well. I was very surprise to see the concern they had to make sure our family was stable.Thank you Cleveland Elementary Administration!!!
