(Update from recently emoved Google review)…read more This is a long review and will change from time to time, but... Reflecting on my time from this high school, I have to say that I have mixed feelings, leaning more towards negative over time. Even though I made some to a lot of friends, a lot of other people made me feel quite uncomfortable with their assertion, unwelcomeness and unpleasantness. Even the teachers and staff were not the best at helping with me with my issues at times, with a counselor named Beltramo outright excusing a bully when they were hitting me quite hard despite me not doing anything to them. Now the teachers were not the best with how they handled students, with Centeno not being a pleasant experience, even if she got a little better later on before leaving her class. She always yelled and screamed in front of my ears when I made a small error when having a pencil instead of a pen, yelling "PUT THE PENCIL AWAY!" and also being quite short tempered whenever I didn't meet her expectations. But she was not the only one who made my studies and experience worse. Of note who made my experience worse was a former teacher named David Long. Although I tried to clear up an altercation with him, he was telling me that "people who wear black like you are troublemakers, unlike me". When I tried to tell former Principal Bill Sarty about what happened, he told me "don't take too long, kid" and then refused to update to me about Mr. Long after our conversation where I didn't become punished. One other was Librarian Patricia Pelfrey. Even long after I stopped making jokes in the library for a short while, she was unpleasant and surprisingly rude to me. Whenever I talked to her, she was being quite demanding and unsettling, telling me to "hurry up" and insulting me behind my back. She was quite short-tempered to me, despite giving her my gratitude and thanks long after I ceased my jokes around my friends in the library. Rest in peace to her, no one has to go through what she went through, but my criticisms have nothing to do with her passing or prior condition. Regardless, I did not have a pleasant experience with her at all, but I also hope her family is doing well. Not all of it was bad, even if it does outweigh the goods. A few of the staff, especially the attendance staff and a sweet lady into Spider-Man, gave me great life lessons that not everyone must be liked, not even some good people. And a lot of friends were fun, even if some of them were shortlived or even former friends that ended poorly. I especially had fun times with Gard, one of my favorite teachers who was quite resourceful and kind. And Yu, my all time favorite despite not starting well due to her initial unpleasantness that turned into genuine friendship. And I want to add one of the most important events that traumatized and psychologically scarred me, was about one classmate. After she ignored my apology about being furious at her and her friends in gym, she not only sexually harassed me about my "size" at one point, but when I criticized her about it she gaslit me into making me think that I'm making things up. That is why I hate 2016 & 2017, and I had to deal with some friends and family tell me that I'm "freaking out" and "stop feeling traumatized!", feeling minimized and underneath a lot of people. As a result, awful moments like these shattered me and ruined my perception of reality for years to come. And this happened 10 years ago, so is it really my fault for having trauma and still having thoughts about them for this long? In general, even though I tried to look on the bright side and find some positives, I believe the flaws outweigh the goods. It was not a great time to be in, especially after these moments plus a few grand tragedies with my former friends, to the point that it changed me forever for the worse overall. I'm sorry, family, I know I can look at the positives but that mindset minimizes what I've been through. Even if others had it worse than me, these are my experiences and they were not as pretty as one might think.

In each classroom, there are progress reports detailing how my children are doing, some comments are surprising as I did not think my children would do so well, then I knew the teachers are doing something right. They have helped shaped my children to be the little people they are today, thank you Tater Tots! And did I mention they do not charge an arm and a leg for preschool? The hours for drop off is not a set time, can drop off as early as 6:30am?? And there's no late fees if you pick them up after 5pm! As working parents, we cannot say enough good things about Tater Tots! Please continue to provide good quality preschool for our community! I will recommend to any parent, and every parent to join Tater TOTs!

However, this preschool is among the worst early education environments we have encountered. Based on our concerns, we put an X on a diaper. The X was still there at pick up. There are basic issues around safety and security that made us nervous. In addition to some issues of concerns around the care, they do not honor their own policies. We opted out of marketing but we still found photos online of our little person online. We have ten children in our local family and this is the worst preschool we have encountered. Please be careful and make sure that you do the work to research the quality of care.

There was not a morning that my girls said they did not want to go to school, which says so much! Communication with families is excellent, and it's clear that everyone works hard to help students reach their full potential. We look forward to and are excited to be part of the Stetson family! I highly recommend Stetson Academy to anyone looking for a school that truly cares about its students.

Making strange remarks about funding challenges in such emails and claiming "they don't have an associated church to help them like other schools". - Excluding children from "rewards" or "special activities" if they didn't contribute to fundraising or if they didn't contribute enough, by setting a "goal/price tag" to certain rewards, creating division and emotional stress among children all ages. - Punishing children by not allowing them play during recess when they think they are misbehaving or not performing enough academically. - Giving children a hard time if they need to use the bathroom during class. In my personal experience, there sure is an effort for marketing, like many photos of smiling children posted on social media. But I would advise everyone to pause for a moment before signing anything. These are based on my personal experiences and the experiences that I was informed of by other parents. My opinion is that everybody should have an education attorney review the the contracts/papers provided by this place before signing anything and conduct a thorough research on these issues and talk to other parents who pulled their children.

They truly love what they do and treat everyone with respect. They have handled staffing challenges as well as they can (and anyone can in this weird environment) and I have no complaints about it. The facility is amazing, clean and has lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities for the kids. They do a lot of fun, special days (pajama day, Dr. Seuss week, etc) and have a great communication system for the parents.

The teachers approach their subjects with incredible enthusiasm and have extensive professional experience and personal care for each child. Our students come home daily excited to share about what they have learned in the classroom. We especially appreciate the team teaching approach at all grade levels which allows each subject to be taught by experts who focus on creating the best learning experience in their areas. Each teacher also deeply cares about the character development of each student, providing individual feedback about how to grow and thrive academically and to be successful Christian young people. As a student my wife found her writing skills especially solidified in the level of feedback and engagement the incredible teacher to student ration afforded. Furthermore, the friendships she forged as a student decades ago still stand strong.
