School does little to support children that don’t fit their cookie cutter standards, even at a very young age. Little volunteer and family bonding opportunities despite being charged for not hitting the mandated hours.

There is a new principal every year, I wonder why? They defiantly only care about money and don't use those funds to actually help the students or teachers. Which is crazy because the tuition obligations are quite substantial. My child was bullied non stop, segregated, and treated like an outsider. The best thing I ever did was find a better school that would provide positive reinforcement and a positive environment. I wanted this school to work out but it was having a negative effect on my child's mental health, which is sad and unbelievable. Please think of your child's emotional well being before enrolling them here.

This school and staff are fantastic. This was the first year so there are always kinks to work out but they did it and things went smoothly. I can not say enough of the principal and staff. The principal always meets the kids each morning at drop off and is there every afternoon at pick up. She is very hands on and involved in all events. The teachers are involved and care about the learning as well as the whole child. The PTO did a great job with helping get supplies and technology in the classrooms. When my child loves going to school and loves all the staff then that says a lot about the school. I am very happy Incarnation Family. Tampa school. and look forward to the upcoming years.Victoria Inscoe

Incarnation Catholic School is a family! After much touring and looking for the best private school that would suit our son and family we choose ICS because of the family atmosphere it offer us as well as the education. The staff and teachers are so loving and really show that they deeply care for our sons over all well-being. We came to ICS for the 2019 school year and has not been disappointed since. We will return next year. And even in the mist of uncertainty during a world pandemic they excelled and brought their best for our son and all the families that make of ICS. Thank you for all you do for us no amount of thank you’s are sufficient. May God Bless you all.

My wife and I have three sons and our oldest has attended several schools due to job relocations. Incarnation Catholic School (ICS) is by far the best school that our children have attended. Our middle child is currently attending ICS and we will be enrolling our youngest there next year for preschool. We have found the entire staff to be exceptionally friendly and professional. They appropriately demand good behavior and effort, while also fostering a very loving and supportive environment conducive to learning. Our son is thriving at ICS and we would highly recommend for families in Tampa looking for an affordable private school.

Excellent school, my child has had the opportunity to travel to Kennedy Space Center and Tallahassee for Middle School trips, and is looking forward to the 8th grade trip to DC. Looking forward to another great year!

We do not understand some of the negative reviews on this site. This is a great school and my kids are very happy, which to me, is the most important. We've had great teachers so far and have been happy with the administration.

The last day of school the principal couldn't wait for everyone to leave. She seriously has no social skills. Still wondering how she got that job. Will not be coming back next year. I want to be part of a school that wants me and my child there. Get rid of her

This school was amazing when Mr. Zelenka was principal. Many things that brought the families together have been taken away

I have two boys aged 9 and 6 that have been going to Incarnation since PRE-K and they love it. I like the academics and values they teach there. Wonderful staff and the principal is awesome and very professional.

This school is the best school for Pre- K or Kindergarten children. Once they join and go all the way up to 8th grade, they'll feel like they're part of the family. You can join at whatever age and everyone there will welcome and surround you with love. Sports and clubs are the best activities there. The teachers are kind and loving, but always keep everyone in order. I was part of this Irish family and I'll always will be. This is my home and as soon as you join you'll never forget the wonderful memories the students and faculty give you. I love this school and so do everyone else who attends. Once an Irish, ALWAYS an IRISH!!!

The priest runs this school and he is not a very nice person. He has fired many dedicated professionals. I pulled my children out of this school and was so glad that I did. There are better public schools out there than this school!

Incarnation is a fantastic school. We have two kids there now and couldn't be happier with the Pastor, Principal, and the great team of teachers and administrators. ICS provides a superior overall learning experience that includes religion, PE, Art, Music, Spanish, Science, School Garden, Science, Computer Lab, Community Service, Sports Teams, Chess Club, etc. Kids learn morals, values, patriotism, Christian/Catholic beliefs -- behaviors that are reinfored at home. ICS students are well-behaved, responsible, and enthusiastic. The school has a family atmosphere -- the parents and kids all know each other, which strengthens bonds and enhances the educational experience. There is a lot of pride in this school. If you are considering private education for your child(ren), you will be impressed and pleased with everything ICS has to offer. Check out the website or take a tour of the school and see for yourself how wonderful it is.

Definitely a top notch school. The principal and priest are role models with high standards, and they expect the same from their staff, faculty, students and families. Those who find difficulty in following those high academic and moral standards, will not excel at this school. The past two years have shown significant improvement in the quality of education as well as improvement in the facilities. I am so proud to have my children enrolled in a school that lives its mission statement!
