After paying $895 for Sylvan Learning of Fort Myers' SAT Boot Camp over the summer, I expected my…read moredaughter's SAT scores to increase substantially, if not somewhat increase.... My daughter didn't miss any classes, payed attention, and did all the assigned work, and her results did not reflect her hard work. Her reading score increased by only 30 points, and her math score DECREASED by 40 points.... thus, a net "increase" of NEGATIVE 10 points from her previous SAT. That's right.... her OVERALL score actually DECREASED. If you are looking for an SAT prep course for your student - I highly recommend that you DO NOT use Sylvan, and look for a program elsewhere. My daughter and I were extremely disappointed. I since paid for a private one-on-one tutor, and she was able to increase her score enough to be accepted to her college of choice.

When I spoke with the teacher she victim blamed my child. Additionally concerning is that there is no conspicuously posted notices of illness when there are children that are found to have contagious illnesses. The teacher said they weren't posted, the director said they were, when I drop off I look for them and see them nowhere. The teachers are kind, their demeanor is nice, and they seam to have a good structure with the children. Long story short, limited supervision and compliance.

I am always amazed at how much he is learning there, colors, body parts, animals and their sounds, types of trucks, right and left, and even recognizes some numbers! It is nice that I can switch the days I take him in ( just tell them or call time the day before) and there is not a set time to drop off and pick up. They also have a good nutrition program, so I don't have to pack his food every day. I would recommend taking a tour if you are looking for a daycare!

I pulled my daughter out of another preschool to go to FUMC. I had friend's who sent their kids to…read moreFUMC and had heard nothing but wonderful things. The children get home cooked meals everyday and the class sizes are kept small enough that every child is taken care of. The staff here truly care about the children. My daughter was sick one day and when I went to pick her up, one of the staff members was just holding her. The truly love the children there. I also picked FUMC because I'm a single mother who works full time. FUMC is full of all types of families from all different backgrounds. I feel diversity is incredibly important. I'm blown away by how much my daughter is learning as well. The director is absolutely amazing and I have never had a second thought about sending my daughter here.

My hubby came to pick up our child for the first time & was never questioned about who he was. It saddens me because this school had wonderful reviews. They really need to fix this issue . Also we received many empty promises like the children going to sing at the senior center as well as going to the library. That didn't happen. The playground is a huge disappointment. Instead of grass turf there is a brown mulch so the children are constantly dirty . Also I witnessed a teacher pulling on my child's arm in a painful way. We reported these issues to the school director and pulled out child out of this school.

I recently visited North Nicholas High School to enroll my minor brother, for whom I am the legal…read moreguardian. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. During the enrollment process, I was spoken to in a raised and unprofessional tone by a district administrator. I did not feel treated with the respect expected when handling something as important as enrolling a student. I was also asked several personal questions about my brother's background and prior schooling, and when I explained that I did not have access to certain records, it did not seem to be accepted. Additionally, a staff member made a comment to my brother implying he would not be attending the school based on the interaction, which felt inappropriate given that enrollment decisions should follow a formal process. I have formally reported this incident to the appropriate individuals within the School District of Lee County to ensure it is reviewed and addressed. I understand situations can become stressful, but professionalism and respectful communication with families--especially legal guardians--should always be maintained. I hope this is addressed so other families have a better experience.

This school is a huge disappointment. My two children attended Renaissance school for two and a…read morehalf years. I had no choice but to transfer them to a different school mid-year. Both my children were behind in academics. My kindergartner didn't know all the letter or sounds of the alphabet. Her self-esteem was low and she was very shy. My 3rd grader was completely reluctant to writing and reading. He didn't even want to pick out a book at the library, which had not happened in the past. The longer they were at Renaissance school, the worse they became. It was very sad to see. At home, they were misbehaving and were very reserved about discussing their day at school. Obviously, they were not happy. We got the complete opposite of what was promised to us. I believed in the school's vision, but Renaissance school does not follow traditional Montessori teachings. My children had a total of 13 different teachers within their 2.5 years there! Apparently, the administration is very difficult to work for, and only a couple teachers have been there for more than a year. The energy of this place felt wrong for some time (over a year). I couldn't quite understand what I was feeling, until I volunteered in the school field trips. I saw, first hand, how the children, including my own, had little appreciation and respect for their learning environment and teachers. 3 months forward: My kindergartner now reads fluently. She has even moved up to reading chapter books. She is confident in her abilities at school, and she has become calmer and respectful at home. My 3rd grader now loves reading! He reads at least one grade-level book a week. He is so happy and responsible now. He now wakes up before me, so that he is early to school each morning. Although, it was a very scary decision to transfer my children mid-year, I have no regrets. Both my kids have told me that they learn so much quicker at their new school and that they are having a lot more fun. They both love their news teachers. I thank my friends and family who supported and encouraged me during my children's difficult school transfer. For anyone who is considering Renaissance School for their children, I highly recommend to search for another school. Not only is Renaissance school very expensive, it just does not deliver. During the time that we were still there, an undisclosed employee/ex-employee at Renaissance School, told me that my children would be better off attending a public school. I now see how that is true. The very limited academic progress that my children had there, was and is completely unacceptable. I am so happy and grateful now that my children left Renaissance School. P.S. I am not the sole parent who has experienced this. I have many parent-friends who have left Renaissance school for the same or similar reasons. I feel it is very important for other parents to know the truth, through our experience.

I feel we get double the value of our tuition because they involve the parents so much and teach us as much as they teach the children. They individualize the experience for each student and know the children so well. When my daughter was ready for more experiences and challenge, her teacher created a custom curriculum for her. We feel this school is literally helping us raise an amazing child.
