This is an "A" school in the Westchase neighborhood and I'm told when it first opened many parents…read moreoutside of this school zone in the Westchase area fought to get their kids into Deer Park. My children have also gone to another "A" school in Westchase and this one might be slightly better, but not by much. All the schools in this area are great schools. AR (Accelerated Reading) testing is encouraged at this school, so my kids do a lot of reading and visits to the library. The AGP program is swift and challenging so your gifted children will thrive here, although science isn't included only math. The last school my children attended included math and science. There are good extracurricular activities available. My children participated in Running Club which is a favorite. There's also chess club and all types of music programs. The music program is fantastic. Mr. Washburn keeps in touch with the parents of children in chorus or any other music program and pushes the children to show artistic creativity in their performances. The vice principal is wonderful and takes time to explain anything a parent has questions about.

This is an elementary school grades K-5…read more My 3 boys have gone here and it's an A rated school. The staff here is excellent and very friendly. Most of the teachers are great and my kids really enjoyed going here. The grounds are kept up pretty good and clean. The drop off and especially the pick up lines are still in need of a better system as it takes almost 45 minutes to pick up each child so you have to prepare for all that. The administration staff seem to have it together as this school again is an A rated school and the leaders of the school have a big part in keeping it that was every single year. School is in Westchase and in a great area for a school. Makes me feel that my child is safe as they have certain policies and systems in place.

This school is amazing. The ownership, procedures, maintenance, and overall running of the school…read moreare absolutely wonderful. As someone with an advanced degree in Education, I am hypercritical of schools and curriculum, I examine curriculum and teaching effectiveness all day in my career. The school is definitely Montessori enough, Montessori schools provide students with freedom within limits, and maybe that seems unruly to someone who has no idea what Montessori even is. The school is better priced that 7 of the schools I looked at in the area, only Primrose was more expensive. The school has a few entrances, all of which are locked by key and only a few members of the school have the keys. It is extremely safe. The owners of this school put me at ease. The school itself is immaculate and the outside areas are pristine. The communication is incredible, I can always follow up if I have a question or concern and get immediate feedback and help. My daughter goes in and comes out happy every single day. She has bloomed into a wonderful little human and at each checkup her doctor is amazed at how much she knows and does for under 3. I give full credit to the teachers and owner of the school for that. The teachers are a mix of backgrounds, some speak English, some speak Spanish, some might even speak more languages- I don't really know. I absolutely love the diversity and inclusion of the school and I couldn't be happier. My daughter did go to a different school and it had many of the same aspects but my daughter wasn't happy. The owners and teachers of this school are incredible and it shows in the kids that go there.

Kids go through bullying and the staff and principal are not helpful when it comes to that kind of situation. Also your child is set up to fail! My daughter made D's and F's for 3 years straight. No matter If she turned in all of her homework or school work the grades never changed they even went far as putting her on a IEP. I pulled her and put her in private school and my daughter never needed the IEP not to mention she is now making A's and B's, never made a grade as low as a C since she has been removed.

Program, since (by the grace of God) there was a spot open and our own school always has a wait list. The staff here are wonderful and they have excellent security/communication measures in place for our children. The weekly rate is so reasonable at $64 per week with childcare from 6:00a to 6:00pm which includes field trips! They have a set schedule and curriculum. We chose to enroll her because we have come to realize that structure is needed since school is out. With entering her in July, we are so grateful for this program and made such a wonderful decision for our sanity. (I now get why parents are counting the days till school starts as this summer has been tough). Can you feel me parents? Highly recommend this before/after school and summer program!!!

I decided to join the PTSA board as I like to be involved as much as I can in my daughter's school. I did visit the school this past week to prepare 1st day breakfast for the teachers and it's so clean and organized. When I visited the other day, the staff was so friendly --- stopped what they were doing to help us w/the cart and unlock the cafeteria for us. Upon leaving, staff actually told me thank you for all you do! The parents that have been there for years, only say positive things about the school. I think the only complaint that I've heard was the car pickup and drop-off line can be quite long since they share the same road as Steinbrenner and McKitrick Elementary. I've actually never been to this school and had no idea where the heck it was located until the other day! Clear signage up around the parking area which I also love. My daughter can't wait to start!! I'll be sure to come back and update my review after we are actually there and have some more experience.
