I will be the first to review this school on Yelp. Maybe that is a good thing…read more I will start by saying, I really do not care for any of the schools in South Hillsborough County. What were once A rated schools have dropped to C and other insane things go on. In fact-i have 2 of my kids (the last one is too young) in schools in South Tampa! So I enrolled my middle child in this school for the Summer VPK program. Initially, going there to drop off the voucher (which I want to state for the record, is a stupid system. There are better ways to keep track of things), it was a little unorganized and the woman at the front desk...well, let's just say I am thrilled I didn't have to deal with her past that point (nice but not attentive and made me wait while she was outside making small talk with a parent she knew). Once we were in, I was very pleased. The other lady in the office (the younger one) was very pleasant-always greeted you when you enter the office or in passing on campus. First day of VPK, we were late and when we got there, we were given a tour by a kind teacher. Our VPK teacher, who is a Kindergarten teacher there, was very nice. She always updated me on my child and seemed on top of things. She had her room all set up and prepared for teaching. The campus seems small, I really didn't venture past the Kindergarten hallway. Cute little garden in the middle of the property. Location is convenient and yet also it's pitfall as it is close to Clairemel and not quite a desirable area-but exact location of this school is good-close to Brandon and other things, close to freeway and expressway. The middle school is also right next door so it's convenient if you have a child in elementary and middle, I saw some lousy ratings on Google for this school which are unfair. They didn't write much or anything at all as to why they gave the school a bad rating. Overall my daughter enjoyed her summer there and I have no complaints!

Probably the worst decision I've made as a parent was putting my daughter in this school. Please…read moreparents, if you're thinking of this school, don't. They would be better off getting their education in public school. The sports? Bad. Clubs? Bad. Teachers? The turn around is insane. No reason a kid should have multiple teachers in all in one year. Started the year off meeting and learning the styles of a few teachers and ended up with complete different ones before the 2nd semester even started. Kids? Not nice. Teacher response? Completely non-existent.

They don't have a guidance counselor for kids to go to, they don't have a designated nurse either. I don't think anyone has called me or emailed me ever about something happening TO my child but they sure do reach out if she does something wrong. They go through teachers like crazy! In one year my child had 4 DIFFERENT math teachers! 4!!!! How is my child supposed to thrive like this?! They don't have an indoor lunch room for the children either! Try to get an understanding of what the kids are learning? Good luck! No agendas, no weekly communication, nothing. My child has tried harming herself and had to be put in therapy because of the bullying she has received at this school! I am fed up. Please, please if you love your children DO NOT PUT THEM IN THIS SCHOOL.

Front office…read moreis extremely unorganized especially when any type of play, graduation, or activities are going on! Main reason I am giving this school a 2 out of 5 is the breakfast! I walked my kids to school a few times and was ready to sit and eat with them before school started but was surprised when I came to find that "breakfast" is a few "stands" throughout the school where you stand in line and grab cereal or if you're lucky a breakfast sandwich and eat it on your way to the classroom. I'm not too old 28 to be exact but when I attended school and had free breakfast we ate in the cafeteria and it was our choice of hot food I.e. sausage biscuit or cold as in cereal! And you knew when the bell rand to get to class! Now I understand they are elementary students but I did it at their age and the teachers told us when it was time to go to class! I was appalled by the breakfast system! Never had the chance to experience lunch fortunately! But I will say the teachers were good! Specifically 5th and 3rd grad teachers! The front office has a locking mechanism that definitely is annoying but I understand the safety issues! The officer for this school is good! He's one of the reasons this isn't a 1 star! Parking is crazy and the location is OK but the road the school is located on is unforgiving when dropping off your kids!

There was no organization in the classroom or at pick up and drop off. There was also virtually no school functions like dances, festivals or award ceremonies. My child now attends a different local elementary school and I am 100% happier and so is my son.
