My children have also gone to another "A" school in Westchase and this one might be slightly better, but not by much. All the schools in this area are great schools. AR (Accelerated Reading) testing is encouraged at this school, so my kids do a lot of reading and visits to the library. The AGP program is swift and challenging so your gifted children will thrive here, although science isn't included only math. The last school my children attended included math and science. There are good extracurricular activities available. My children participated in Running Club which is a favorite. There's also chess club and all types of music programs. The music program is fantastic. Mr. Washburn keeps in touch with the parents of children in chorus or any other music program and pushes the children to show artistic creativity in their performances. The vice principal is wonderful and takes time to explain anything a parent has questions about.

This is an elementary school grades K-5…read more My 3 boys have gone here and it's an A rated school. The staff here is excellent and very friendly. Most of the teachers are great and my kids really enjoyed going here. The grounds are kept up pretty good and clean. The drop off and especially the pick up lines are still in need of a better system as it takes almost 45 minutes to pick up each child so you have to prepare for all that. The administration staff seem to have it together as this school again is an A rated school and the leaders of the school have a big part in keeping it that was every single year. School is in Westchase and in a great area for a school. Makes me feel that my child is safe as they have certain policies and systems in place.

honestly don't even know where to start, but I feel like I have to say something…read more My son hasn't been the best student, I admit that. But that does NOT mean he should be treated the way he's being treated. That's not a reason to basically punish a kid instead of helping him. I've emailed teachers, staff, even the principal, and nothing really gets resolved. Either they don't answer or they just say "everything is on Canvas" and that's it. But the way every teacher has their assignments set up is confusing. It's not clear, and even with a tutor it's been hard to figure out what he actually needs to do. On top of that, my son had a serious accident and needed emergency surgery. He was in bed for about a month. When he came back, he started doing his work, even if it was late for obvious reasons, and instead of working with him, a lot of teachers just refused to accept it. So instead of support, he just gets punished more. There were even assignments sitting at the front desk for about a month that were NEVER given to me, even though I pick him up every single day. Now they're saying he didn't do them and marking everything missing, and not giving him a chance to make it up. That's not fair at all. Also, I'm going to be honest, it does feel like some students get treated differently. Whether it's bias, attitude, or something else, you can tell. And as a parent, that's very frustrating. Some teachers are amazing and actually try to help, and I appreciate them. But most of the experience has not been like that. I have proof of everything. If my son ends up failing because of this situation, I will take this further, because this is not okay.

My daughter spent all 3 of her middle school years at Farnell Middle School. I would not recommend…read morethis school to anyone if it was the last available option. Honestly, just homeschool. LOL! Multiple teachers would not allow my daughter to use the restroom throughout the day, which I might add, is illegal. None of the teachers at the school care about the wellbeing of the students and only care about making their slim to none paycheck. None of the teachers ever responded to me as a parent in a timely matter. For instance, it took 3 weeks for one to get back to me. The environment these children are fostered in throughout their tween years is detrimental to their health. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Don't get me wrong, I really loved this school and everything was fine till my very last year. Some teachers don't even deserve to teach. However, there were some teachers that loved what they did and I actually got to learn something from them. If I go into details of everything that happened while I attended, it'll be never ending stories. So let just say I had good and bad things happened. The good thing is that I graduated before they installed cameras and locked gates so that anyone who was in couldn't get out, lol. The bad is that we were on lockdown several times for firearm incident. Scariest moments of my life! The second bad news is that all the kids from Leto high school transferred to Alonso and made this a bad school. I'm just happy I got to be in Alonso before it got worst. This school had potential, not so sure of it anymore. Nevertheless, I'll always be a Raven. Fly high, soar proudly!

Numerous safety issues have arisen…read moresince the new administration took over in 2022, such as teachers leaving mid-year, frequent lockdowns, uncontrolled bullying, and violations of overcrowded classroom laws and children's restroom rights. Furthermore, there's a notable lack of professionalism from the administration and office staff. Advocating for your child is discouraged, and if you do, expect rude and upsetting responses. Your child may be seen merely as a financial asset, with little regard for their actual education. The school's "A" rating is solely due to a policy change, as they are unwilling to address safety concerns or any other issues. If you don't speak English, unfortunately, you're marginalized under this administration. Evite inscribir a sus hijos aquí. Han surgido numerosos problemas de seguridad desde que la nueva administración asumió en 2022, como la salida de maestros a mitad de año, bloqueos frecuentes, acoso sin control y violaciones a las leyes de aulas abarrotadas y los derechos de los niños para usar el baño. Además, hay una notable falta de profesionalismo por parte de la administración y el personal de la oficina. Desalientan la defensa de su hijo y, si lo hace, espere respuestas groseras e inquietantes. Su hijo podría ser considerado simplemente como un activo financiero, con poca consideración por su educación real. La calificación "A" de la escuela se debe únicamente a un cambio de política, ya que no están dispuestos a abordar preocupaciones de seguridad u otros problemas.

Never send your child here! I have never in my 47 years of living thought a child could be bullied…read morethis bad, but it is indeed true. My daughter Elizabeth was enroled to this school because we moved from NJ to FL and wanted a fresh start. Things seemed to had started out fine first, but then the bullying started by one girl and her two little friends. It was just small things at first, like picking on her hair, her physique, and just little things. But then that turned into cyber bullying. They started to post terrible things about her on the app snap-chat and tick tock. We informed the school and teachers about this, but they just told her and me to ignore it. Then she started coming home with bruises on her face and arms. She said that started cornering her on the playground and jumping her, calling her slurs. Thankfully, we left this school after it got this bad and my sweet Elizabeth is ok now. I do also wanna say one ,ore thing, she told the the girl who did most of this to her was a child named Angie. So if you do end uo sending your child here, BEWARE OF ANGIE!!!

A teacher actually told my children the school won't be open next year.(because there will be no teachers and the school is losing money) The lunch is really bad(my kid hate eating lunch there) Also they don't discipline kids. Kids have left the school during hours and went to publix and no discipline was giving. (his mom's a teacher) Kids (5th grader) have been caught smoking/vaping and only got 3 day suspension. At least 3 occasion where there were Fist fights and no suspension, just a "quit fighting be nice" really bad bulling(name calling and pushing) no action taken, my child said the boy would cry daily and nothing was done. I actually hate the school. I feel the teachers try(at least the lower grades) but multiple teacher are having to pick up the slack of the missing teacher. The principal is actually teaching kids because there is no teachers. The orientation was a mess and no organization at all. Nobody knew where the schedules were or where to pick them up at. The school has bugs, my kids say daily you see termites, ants and cockroaches. I believe the school can be fixed by having better leadership and more organized. I understand that the school is new but the problems that they are having are unacceptable.
