This school has been known for years to be physically aggressive and mistreat children. The amount…read moreof lawsuits associated with this school is also impeccable. The last thing this school cares about is the treatment or well being of the children. There are a few good teachers (Wendy Lockard is phenomenal and always will be and a few of the CCD organizers are also great). However, the majority sadly do not care about the children. I attended this school 10+ years ago as a child and I went from 1st-8th grade. I remember having medical issues that the school would not allow me to call home about that ended up being serious. I remember being physically bullied by classmates and just having teachers look on and not take action. When my family attempted to take action through the principal and office, no action was taken and everything was brushed off. I also vividly remember many times seeing small children crying from being denied the restroom or walking around the school all day in their own urine because the school would rather that than cleaning up the child and taking responsibility for denying them the ability to use the restroom. However, when it comes to money, the school is very punctual and sure to constantly be attentive to every penny. Also, many fundraisers and drives are held to raise money that then goes missing quickly after or is spent on unnecessary church renovations. It sickens me to see that the school still operates like this all these years later. A family member of mine sends her child there and he has now already come home with large deep cuts with no explanation. He was denied potty access for hours until he wet himself and was denied a new pair of pants (so remember, every chair he sat on or kid he interacted with was then exposed to urine due to that). Any respectable faculty member that joins this school and is loved usually quits unexpectedly with no explanation. I've seen this happen twice in the past year and many times when I was a child. The way this school operates is simply sickening, unethical, and unsanitary. Do NOT send your children here unless you enjoy paying about $1000/month or more for mistreatment.

Since by child was 4 years old, he has always had exemplary education. Our school is filled with love, a 100% safe enviroment for all children, there is a zero tolerance for bullying, we have supportive faculty, an incredible new principal this year. We have always been treated with kindness and respect by our loving Pastor and our caring faculty and staff. Throughout the years and with the help of H & S and parent fundraising events, all students of SJS have benefited from those allocated funds to include, a beautiful, state of the art Science Lab, new classrooms and classroom improvements, playground for Early childhood, improved Basketball court, improved athletics department and recently many new educational programs this school year. We are always trying to improve our school. We have always been very active parents at our school, volunteeing for school and classroom events. We have never seen or heard of any mistreatment from any faculty member onto any student. It is sad to see disgruntled people make false accusations and attempt to spread false rumors about our school. Our school is filled with caring, faith filled families. Many of our parents and faculty are Saint Jerome Alumni and now have their children and grandchildren attendfing our amazing school. When you compare our school to others, our school is filled with great warmth, classes are small allowing teachers to provide a more individualized education.

I would encourage anyone considering St Ambrose for their child's education to visit…read morewww.stambrosecatholicschool.com. The section on Cyber Bullying should be particularly disturbing. We have been going to St Ambrose for 15 years. As defined by the St Ambrose handbook, my child was harassed and bullied by a student and his parent who volunteers at the school for over a year. In addition, the same volunteer parent spread vicious, disgusting lies about our family throughout the school and during school functions which principal dodge admitted to hearing herself, but did nothing about and claimed it was "not in the schools purview". After documenting each incident with principal dodge, she lied about her ability to act on them, mischaracterized them and did nothing to solve the problem. Once principal dodge was caught lying and her integrity was under attack, she withdrew our daughter from the school during the Christmas vacation. My daughter had no disciplinary issues, was no threat to the school and posed no danger, yet was thrown out of St Ambrose hastily, separated from friends she has had most of her life, teachers she adored and resulted in a major disruption in her education. I feel that what principal dodge did was disgraceful and cowardly. Five months after we moved on, the volunteer parent who harassed our daughter appears to be stalking our daughter on social media. In my opinion, this school and principal dodge are more concerned with their personal reputation and will sacrifice the education, safety, and wellbeing of the students to protect themselves.

The school is always clean, kids are always smiling, staff is always available to help. And the kids all have a great deal of respect for their teachers. And they actually teach!!!!! It is an accredited school!! Very fair pricing compared to other schools. Ms. Tita, Ms. Monte, and Ms. Deb run the school. They are the best. I had a baby while my son was enrolled at this school and the staff went above and beyond to make my pick up and drop off easier. They even walked my son out to the car for me, so I didn't have to take the newborn out of his carseat. I can't say enough good things about this place. I wish we lived closer, I would still take him here!!

One day I decide to check in on my little one to see how she was doing and when I log in they were in the play ground. 30 seconds in I see one of the teachers push my daughter (pushing meaning for what reason she was playing with her friends and the teacher came up and push her in the back of her shoulders) and walked away. I came into the school and spoke with one of the teachers and she didn't know what I was talking about and told me it never happened. 2) my daughter came home one day with a small bruise on her head, I came in the next day asking for a report and hey couldn't provide one to me. They said it probably happened at home. 3) the owners wife Sarah I believe her name was is a very rude person. She doesn't have any customer service and doesn't smile or say hi to you when parents passes by. I signed my child up because I toured with John and he reinsure me they take pride in they school and teachers. Unfortunately the accident report was the last straw for me, because this is a nice school.

This school used to be good until the new principal was assigned this year. it's been one problem…read moreafter the other since the beginning of the year. I'm not the only parent upset either. Several parents have already removed their children or vowed this will be the last year they attend. Unless the current principal Sharron Voneda is replaced I urge you not to subject your children to this school. All of the issues were having are from the 2nd grade class which is also the class the principal teaches. The class is made up of 2nd and 3rd grade students being taught simultaneously. When second graders are unsure about their work, math specifically, they're directed by the teacher to seek counseling from a third grade student (while the teacher plays on her phone) which as my child and another student have told us parents is not helping them learn but just confusing them more. We had to get together a couple months ago because the 2nd grade teacher/ principal decided to ban jackets because they were "distracting" and forced students (in all grades) to sit freezing in chapel and class until enough of us complained and got the new ridiculous rule overturned. Then there's injuries to students by accident to themselves or inflicted by other students that the teacher is being made aware of but neglecting to tell the parents. Some as serious as head injuries and a kick in the stomach to a child that has a hernia which is being monitored. There's a lot of sexual talk going on between students (2nd graders mind you) and the parents aren't being made aware of the situation till days or weeks later or not at all until our kids tell us. How this is happening un noticed in a class of 8 is beyond me. Unless it has something to do with the teacher being in the phone and not paying attention. In the beginning of the year it became an issue of tests being given without notifying the parents so we can study with our kids. Instead she would verbally tell the kids and expect 7 year olds to know how to study for grammar, religion, science, Latin, spelling and math tests which will all often times fall on the same week. This week for instance they have a test on 5 chapters of Latin almost 100 spelling words, bible verse memory, grammar questions memory and math. All on a week where they have a field trip, half day, and field day. Just awful planning and gives little to no time for proper class time to prepare young students for these large bodies on information on several subjects and testing them all on the same day. I have to spend at least 2-3 hours a night doing homework and studying. And I'm not the only parent complaining of this. The abundance of work these 7 year olds are expected to do on a daily basis is draining to them and us. Like I said. It's really just the principal/teacher. Also the 4th 5th and 6th grade are all taught together as well. I'm not sure how that works but I can't imagine they're all getting the proper education for the grade level they're in.

I have been a parent at Gloria Dei Academy for nine years. The staff are wonderful and very…read moreattentive. Though the school has gone through a few changes over the years, it has always provided my children with a great education. When Gloria Dei was not offering middle school, my oldest child transitioned into a 6th grade public school and earned all As in advanced classes. My two other children currently attend Gloria Dei (6th and 2nd grade) and really enjoy it. It is a very small school so it has more of a family atmosphere which we love. Due to the size, some grades have been blended for the past few years. At first I was unsure how that would be but it's actually worked very well for the children. They implemented a new curriculum this year which is more challenging but not stressful on the students (according to my children). My 6th grader usually has no more than 30 minutes of hw daily including study time and my 2nd grader has maybe 15 minutes of hw. Gloria Dei uses a user friendly website for grades which is updated daily/weekly with homework assignments and scheduled tests. Also the children keep track of assignments/tests in planners. This has helped my 2nd grader become a more responsible student. Teachers are present at afternoon carline so if my children have any problems during the day I am notified at pickup time. During this past year there were a few issues in my 2nd grader's class but they seem to have been resolved after one of the children withdrew from the school earlier this year. Overall I have been very pleased with Gloria Dei and feel blessed to be able to continue to send my children there. (After reading a negative review regarding the 2nd grade class, I asked my child about some of the specifics and was told opposite of what the review stated).

My office had relocated to the davie area. So i had to look for a different daycare (Note my son…read morehas been in daycare since he was 2 month old). Now he is 3 1/2 so he is not new to school. I decided to register him to this location because it was near my office. When I went there the staff and teachers seemed very friendly. Not even two days into it, my son was complaining that his teacher gave him "pow pow" or a spanking. It was alarming but I didn't want to assume anything as kids do need discipline at times. The third day, I came to pick him up early and overheard the teacher yelling at the kids through the door. The teacher then came out and immediately began berating me that he "pee'd his pants and on their nap time blankets" in a very rude manner and shoved a bag of their blankets on me to clean. This was the first time I had ever met this teacher and her attitude and unprofessionalism towards a parent was very shocking. If she spoke to me in those manners I could only imagine how she speaks to the children. Working with children takes patience and she showed none! When you leave your kids at school you're supposed to feel secure and that your kid is safe and well taken care of, I did not feel that way with this school. I removed him in less than a week of being there.
