En mi experiencia a mi hijo le ha ido bien en esta escuela no se por que otros padres escriben malas reseñas. La mayoría de esas reseñas son de hace muchos años atrás. en la cual habia otra persona como director o directora. En mi experiencia desde que mi hijo entro en el 2023 la directora Pallaria esta de administradora en la escuela junto con MS. Antony. Ellas son muy amables y sociales con todo el mundo. Al igual que muchas de las maestras, a todos los maestros tienes la oportunidad de cruzártelo en algún momento y conocerlos. El ambiente que he percibido en la escuela es muy familiar con cada actividad que realizan. Las maestras que le han tocado a mi hijo en el programa DUAL han sido muy profesionales. El aprendido muchísimo y tiene buenos scores en sus cosas. También estan pendiente al comportamiento y notifican algun problema que perciban. Entiendo que muchos padres también quieren hacer responsables y dejar totalmente la carga a los maestros de la educación y comportamiento de sus hijos. La escuela es para aprender pero primero se debe enseñar en casa y tomarse el tiempo de sentarse con los hijos para estar a la par con los maestros. Así que cada cual debe analizar su situación en el hogar para saber si esta haciendo un buen trabajo con los maestros.

Out of our entire time there we only got to experience two-three great teachers/staff. Everyone else is aggressive and unprofessional including the principal. Do not send your child here. The dual program they promote is not what it seems. Children are struggling all year in academics and the teachers don’t care to help. Many students have left with low academics and emotional trauma from the constant yelling from staff.

Very pleased with the academics and family like feel that New Horizons offers. My daughters truly enjoy and have learned so much through the Dual Language Program.

We had a terrible experience. I wish more had been done. We were limited by administration and policies that moved to slow to see effective change to make a difference in the school year. My daughter was a complete school year behind grade level. When we changed her school she completed 2 years worth of work in one year and is on grade level. This was a terrible school for her, but help us appreciate a better school.

Terrible. The administration is really bad. They need to do changes ASAP They make too many different between the treatment with the low income or "special" students. Happy my daughter leave that School. Is for far the Worst in the area.

The administration at this school is terrible. The guidance counselor and principal need to be replaced with people who understand this generation of children and actually act on bullying problems rather than sweep it under the rug. This school has a bullying problem. And the people who run the school are the reason it isn't getting better. The Teachers are great and aftercare program is top notch. You should be OK as long as you never have to go into the main office for your child is never a victim of bullying.

I love how involved the parents are with this school, and am so impressed by all of the teachers as well. We truly have a tight-knit community that work together for our children, and my two boys love attending school as a result. Thank you NHES.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about New Horizons. I was told that this was one of the worst schools in Wellington....They lied!!! My daughter is a slow learner and struggled her entire life. I could not get her the help she needed at Discovery Key Elementary even with begging and asking for help. Within 9 DAYS of my daughter being at this school(without saying a word to any of the teachers), they saw a problem. They called a meeting with us and did everything possible to help her. She finally got the 504 plan she needed with objectives set in a foundation to make her a successful student. Because of there help, my daughter is not thriving and is a "B" student!!! First time in her life! They have a wonderful staff from principal all the way down to janitors and the aftercare is amazing! I am so greatful that we moved to Wellington....because of this school! Thank you so much New Horizons!!!! YOU REALLY ROCK! :)

We just started the school year, but I'm very happy so far. My son has a very sweet Kindergarten teacher and comes home happy. He also goes to full-time aftercare and has a ton of fun. The teachers and staff are very friendly and helpful. I love that I can walk my son up to his classroom and I'm not forced to just drop him off from the car loop. Looking forward to the rest of the school year and all it has to bring!

My kids have been attending New Horizon ES for two years and each year at the end of school it is hard for both the kids and us parents to leave. The teachers are amazing and have open communication with the parents. They have an open and secure campus so I can walk both my children all the way to their classrooms. They have an annual Hoe Down with teachers, parents, and children that was a blast this past year. I would highly recommend New Horizons for its experienced teachers, community enviornment and excellent parent involvement. Can't wait to return in the Fall.

We transferred to New Horizons mid-year and the office staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. My son was so happy to go to school every day. The other parents that I've met have been wonderful and I feel like we are truly part of a community.

This is my neighborhood school, and our family loves it. We have two children. We love the small, welcoming campus, the teachers, the strong academics and the parents group. Everyone from Cardozo (the principal), teachers and staff, are passionate about children and education. I compared many schools before deciding on New Horizons, and am so glad I did. There is no substitute for 25 years experience when it comes to children's education.

My sons have attended this school since PreK back in 2009. Now my oldest son is going to 5th grade and my youngest to 3rd. It's an excellent school! Their dual language program is awesome. The teachers and staff are friendly and always willing to help. I am really thankful and happy for the education that my kids are receiving.

I am new to the area moving from out of state. I placed my daughter at this school and have been thrilled with the education she is receiving. The teachers work hard and care for their students. It is evident daily in my daughters classroom. I know EVERY school has it's ups and downs and New Horizons is no different. As parents, we need to work together to make this school the best school for our children. We need to work alongside the staff and administration.

My son just started at New Horizons and the staff made us all feel welcomed. The school has a home town feel and is very Family friendly.

My family has been with New Horizons since 2007. My oldest transferred mid year & we all were treated with open arms. I find the teachers & staff to be nurturing, willing to help if a situation presented itself and the open door policy is just amazing to me. At my son's last school, you were not allowed to walk them past the cafeteria, so it means a lot to kiss my child goodbye & be able to talk with his teacher if necessary. I volunteer here quite a bit because I feel like family. I would strongly recommend this school o anyone new to te area!

I just had my child transferred out of this school. After years and years of working with the teachers and higher ups my son did not excel at all. All my concerns were meet with the same end results...wait for the FCAT scores. Well FCAT scores proved what I have been asking for since preK. I realized it was their intent to blame my son for not passing the FCAT as to why he will be retained in the 3rd grade, they accept no responsibility for a childs failure and the school board should evaluate this school and do an employee change. The principle is weak and has no concern for any childs individual needs...she should be ashamed.
