DO NOT send your kids here. Avoid enrolling your children here. 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.

1 out of 5 stars A Deeply Disappointing Experience - More…read moreFocused on Image than Individual Well-Being I attended Hillel Academy of Tampa Bay for 2.5 years, from late elementary into middle school. Unfortunately, my experience was not only disappointing -- it was harmful. Despite being branded as a Jewish school, many core religious traditions were inconsistently practiced. Even something as foundational as maintaining a kosher kitchen was not handled with the seriousness one would expect. But far more concerning was how the school handled (or failed to handle) student well-being, academic support, and mental health. I was forced to repeat a grade due to a single assignment that significantly affected my grade -- something I was never warned about. I wasn't given access to my GPA or any understanding of how I was being assessed, and I received no chance to catch up or make up for it. As a result, I had to undergo two full years of credit recovery to repair the academic damage. But what hurt most was how my mental health was handled -- or ignored. My time there pushed me into a deep depression. I ended up needing help from more than two therapists, including a social worker, just to begin feeling somewhat stable again. The school's mental health department was virtually non-existent and unhelpful when I needed it most. Academic support? Also lacking. I needed help with reading comprehension -- help that others briefly received for only two weeks, then never again. There was no real effort to provide long-term solutions or individualized support. It felt like unless you were already excelling, you were left behind. Worse still was the school culture. Students were often cruel, and advocacy was discouraged. Any time I tried to speak up for myself, I was either ignored or punished. The administration, particularly under Principal Allison Oakes, cared more about the school's reputation than its students. I was called delusional for trying to advocate for myself -- and even faced threats of expulsion for it. I am sharing this not out of anger, but out of necessity. If no one else is willing to hold this institution accountable, I may need to take further action. No child should go through what I did. A school is supposed to be a place of growth and safety -- not one that diminishes you and silences your voice. If I wanted to call the school a place where it can damage a child that's the name I would give it . Protect your child's mental and physical health by not sending them there or else you would end up like an angry parent and asking why you sent your child there .

The teachers and staff at Hillel are incredibly involved in each child's life. They regularly stop to share stories of the children's day, quickly address concerns, and try to involve parents to create a positive Jewish community as a whole. My son got into trouble just one time, it was addressed appropriately, but then many of the staff came to tell me (secretly) how proud they were of his misbehavior. They were actually happy he was comfortable enough to "act out" that one time. I would highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a strong community, a good Jewish education, and a loving/respectful environment for their children.

My kids attend the Lower School for the elementary age and younger children . I simply cannot say…read moreenough wonderful things about Cambridge. In the six months my older boy has attended Cambridge's pre-k program, I have seen him grow academically by leaps and bounds, more than I thought possible. He loves to do his "homework," and looks forward to getting to class each morning. When he started, he initially displayed some behavior issues, but his teachers were totally patient and understanding, continually working with him, providing positive reinforcement and steering him in the right direction. His behavior has improved markedly. My kids are on the younger side, but I have heard many similar sentiments from parents of the older children (up through high school) as well. There are many prestigious private schools in the Tampa metro area, and many might look more polished or pristine on the outside, but I would put Cambridge Christian up against any one of them in a heartbeat when it comes to strong academics and caring and qualified teachers. It is my understanding that it is one of only a couple area schools that are actually college-prep accredited, something that several more well known (and much more expensive) schools cannot claim. Some may worry about the "exclusive" nature of a private school. However, for every luxury car you see in the parking lot, you'll see many "regular" cars (Toyota, Honda, GM) as well. I believe few of the families would consider themselves wealthy (myself included), but it is obvious that whatever our relative financial means, the education our kids get at Cambridge is worth the expense. We clearly are all willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to send our kids here. The kids I have met are courteous, friendly and happy, and I would be proud to have my own children grow up around such peers. I am convinced that if more people knew about Cambridge, they would be swamped with parents inquiring about enrolling their children. We so love what Cambridge has given our boys that if, God forbid, our financial situation were to take a turn for the worse, we would still do whatever we possibly could to keep our kids enrolled.
