    MARGATE MIDDLE SCHOOL: The worst experience I have ever had as a parent of a new 6th grader. My…read moreson had some amazing teachers in only 4 weeks there. However Mrs. Spence a Reading teacher shouldn't be allowed to work there or anywhere for that matter. My son has ADHD and a psychological mood disorder which I had explained several times. Initially she had reached out to me because Jay was very distracted in class that day ( week one) . I explained once again that we were working on it and to please excuse him. My son returned to school that Monday and apologized for the first impression that he had given her and requested a clean slate . An 11 year old child coming to you humbly asking for forgiveness and to please start over and it's the 2nd week of school ( adults barely admit their wrong doings). Instead of talking about the situation and how they can move forward she looked away and told him to get in line. She repeatedly called my son a chatterbox , a parrot, and didn't call him by name she called him boy. My son came to me stating that she says ," shut your mouth boy" and " shut up boy" to him. An incident had taken place where he was incredibly overwhelmed in his class and asked to please take a little time out . This is apart of his 504 plan which all of his educators have a copy of. The educator repeatedly said no. He sent me a text saying that he was crying because she was antagonizing him and he needed to please get out of there. My son had told me about this incident and it was the icing on the cake and ultimately my reason for pulling him out of school not even a full month there. On this day Mrs. Spence moved my sons seat without him knowing so he was sitting in another child's seat. Instead of explaining that he'd been reassigned she said , " get up boy". He was in the process of settling down into his new seat and she came over to him and said "You're a sick child" this was said to his face in front of his peers because he didn't have his materials for the lesson on his desk fast enough. THIS IS BULLYING BY A TEACHER! you are using him being a little different as public display ! She saw he was texting me because she refused to let him step out to speak with a guidance counselor and she took his phone. I completely understand policy and for the phone part I was not upset at all for that specifically . My son said that she'd sent another student to get him from another class period later in the day so she could return his phone and the girl went into Ms. Diverges class and said that she was told to "get the little spanish boy". The teacher was in complete shock and taken back. She questioned the student and said is that how she asked for him and the student said yes. This is why my son was saying he was sick. This is why he was getting so sad and hated school all of a sudden. It was her! I had asked one of his classmates if Mrs. Spence calls all of the students boy or girl and if she refers to them by their ethnicity/ race. The child said no only Jayden and another little girl in the class. I was completely disgusted by this child's response to my question and deeply saddened because no child should be treated that way. Plus the school has roaches in the hallway, bathrooms and cafeteria. They have some great teachers but boy they need to get rid of the toxic ones. This is such a difficult transition and a lot of the students need some love and guidance. A teacher bullied my son , humiliated him amongst his peers, and racially profiled him and she is still there teaching! This whole system is broken. My son was withdrawn yesterday 9/9/2019 and is now attending a charter school and his first day was a success. Please do whatever you can to get your kids out of there . Thank you to the other teachers that he had who made him feel loved and like he mattered and that you wanted him to be successful in your class. Thank you! #publicschool #browardcounty #bcps #broward #margatemiddle #margatemiddleschool #bullyfreezone #equality #practicekindness #leadbyexample

    I finished the Network Support Services class in June for the 2019/2020 school year. I really…read moreenjoyed the class. My instructor, Mr. Rao, worked in the field and is very knowledgable. The classroom itself has been remodeled and fitted with brand new workstations and lab stations. The hands-on experience with switches and routers can't be replicated by online learning or reading. The only thing that really disappoints me, is the "job placement" pretty much went out the window after graduation. I can't fault them too much for that, though, because of COVID. It would have been nice to generate an interview or two out of it, though. I would definitely recommend this school to someone who's just looking to learn a trade and doesn't know about a 4-year school, although, some credits would transfer to Broward schools if desired after graduation.

    I went there a few years ago, full time, for the 1 year culinary program. While it is a very short…read moretime to learn everything they want to squeeze in to teach you, you definitely leave with a lot of great knowledge. I liked that in the cold foods, if you show interest, Chef will teach you about food carving. In the bakery, if you let Chef know you want to try "something", he'll make time to do that with you or with the class. It was an overall great experience. The only negative I have is about one of the Chefs, I won't say whom in particular... she told me on a couple occasions that I'd probably do better at the front of the house, I was not fit for the kitchen. Harsh truth? I worked in a commercial kitchen after graduating and loved it. I think she spoke too soon. I now make custom tiered cakes. Guess I exceeded her expectations..

It was a Saturday morning with a chance of showers in the forecast so the first thing I noticed was the distance from the parking to the entrance with absolutely no cover along the way. On entry, I was impressed by the open feeling. It had the typical locker lined lobby and corridors but the lockers (I saw) were all in open spaces so there was no feeling of crowding. I had to imagine a gazillion kids. As I expect all schools are now (not where I attended) all seating was fixed. The auditorium was large but probably not large enough to seat the full student body with each seat having a folding desktop. I'm a small person and it did feel a bit crowded... I'm not sure it would be comfortable for a big kid. The desks in the classrooms seemed to be standard school issue with the metal frame and no chance of adjustment. I felt very confined and again, I would think is might be tight for anyone much larger than my petite frame. The building felt clean and comfortable. I did not use the restroom but did note it was located close the the classrooms we were using. For a public school this seemed ok... and if I had a school-age kid, I could see them here... assuming they have a good program.

    Great service but I miss Pastor Bob. I believe the Bible says that we are to forgive one another…read morewhen we sin .He had a problem with adultery most men struggle with this . I can see women throwing them self's at him , his weakness got him . I thought may be a period of time away from the church would be OK for a consequence but to totally vanish him and even on YouTube is terrible. He brought a lot of people to Christ . Don't we learn from our mistakes and where is the forgiveness he started this church from nothing. How about the men in the Bible who committed adultery and murder they were forgiven. We all have to face God for our sins. I want to know where he is preaching because he is a great leader and pastor . The pastor gave a good service today but nothing like Bob would've done and actually to see this church half empty is sad . I would love to see Pastor Bob back and that we can show forgiveness. Parking is ample.

    My experience at Calvary Christian Academy has been extremely disappointing. I've attended CCA…read moresince I was 18 months old and I've seen it all. While the school presents itself as caring and faith-centered, many teachers and administrators create an environment that feels judgmental and discouraging. Several teachers make rude or sarcastic comments toward students. Mr. Picon often makes snarky remarks and argues with students in an unprofessional way. Mrs. Rodriguez has also made passive-aggressive comments, including responding sarcastically when students are confused. Many students complain about how discouraging she can be. Mrs. Beal is also known for profiling students based on one mistake and continuing to treat them differently afterward. Students feel that she gossips about them with other teachers and administrators instead of handling situations professionally. She frequently walks the halls looking for minor uniform or dress code violations, such as rolled skirts, AirPods, lanyards, or even students wearing the "wrong" shirt on certain days. When confronted, she often comes across as rude and judgmental and does not show the grace or understanding that the school claims to value, despite constantly referring students back to the handbook. Mrs. Shawver is also difficult for many students to approach because of her rude, snappy attitude and the way she speaks to students. Mr. Amadeo frequently pushes his personal political beliefs onto students, even during biblical discussions where politics should not be the focus. He often presents his personal opinions as completely correct because "the Bible says so" and makes students feel unintelligent for questioning or disagreeing with him. Students have felt embarrassed in front of the class after being called "stupid" and "an idiot" for thinking that way and treated like their opinions were worthless for simply challenging a point or asking questions. Some staff members seem more focused on catching students doing wrong than helping them. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Cole are known for strict dress code enforcement and often come across as judgmental when disciplining students. Some punishments also feel humiliating rather than helpful. There have been reports of inappropriate comments from staff, including Mrs. Cole calling girls "sluts" for rolling their skirts. Mr. Peters, one of the vice principals, often makes students feel intimidated rather than supported. Mr. Purtic makes some students uncomfortable by discussing personal topics too often and showing favoritism. Coach Leighton has also asked students overly personal questions that felt inappropriate. Overall, the environment at Calvary feels overly judgmental. Students often feel constantly watched, even outside of school, and there are concerns about administrators monitoring students' social media activity. The administration's handling of sensitive situations can also feel humiliating instead of supportive. Students are sometimes punished without clear explanations beyond being told to "refer to the handbook." As a Christian school, faith is emphasized, but students who struggle with faith or ask questions can sometimes feel judged instead of encouraged. Staff members also tend to involve themselves heavily in students' personal lives. There has also been a noticeable decline in student satisfaction, with many students wanting to transfer or leave the school. The school also places extremely high expectations on teenagers while reacting harshly when students make normal teenage mistakes. Instead of helping students grow or learn from situations, many students feel dehumanized, judged, and labeled for small things. The constant pressure, monitoring, and fear of punishment becomes emotionally exhausting and can seriously affect students' mental health. Rather than encouraging a genuine relationship with God, the environment often makes faith feel forced, performative, and connected to fear or shame instead of support, understanding, and personal growth. Overall, Calvary Christian Academy made me feel judged and uncomfortable rather than supported academically, socially, or spiritually. As much as this school stresses grace they never show it nor practice it and highly encourages snitching. In my opinion, it may be a good school for younger students, but I would not recommend it for middle or high school.
