We had many teachers leave during the year, there was limited opportunities for art and No music programs for middle school. I volunteered here for a 6th school dance, and witnessed the lack of disrespect and damages toward school property. The teachers allowed music to be streamed via laptop and it even included explicit lyrics. I spent most of the night chasing kids to stop them from breaking glow sticks to flock the neon gel on themselves or school property. Trying to leave the venue aka cafeteria to explore classrooms above. This school has great security to keep people, parents out but lacks insight on properly supporting discipline procedures within their own staffing. There is athletics in the form of basketball and soccer as well as cheerleading. Those departments are not could not offer a regular words and celebrations or recognition at the end of the season unless a parent rally's to create a board. Or privately funded by parents. In middle school the children were instructed to read from an online program that was limited in content. No actual books were encouraged. And that may be teacher discretion. Many parents aren't as involved here since there is a monopoly of the same parents signing up for things. Many working parents do not get a fair opportunity to volunteer, unless planned months in advance or there is some consideration toward voting for times to release sign ups hour. A lot of the happy reviews reflect elementary experiences. Since those kids aren't as much of a concern and have years for Waterset charter to fix or mold those curriculums.

They both had great teachers who not only were great at their jobs but also cared about them. We never had issues on bullying or anything that concerned us. My oldest finished elementary there and when we were headed to middle school, we decided to give a nearby charter a try. So I took both boys (oldest to 6th grade) and little one for 2nd grade to a nearby charter school. There were lots of ups and downs from the new school but I figured we'd give them a shot since it was their first year open. Well...we are now back at Cypress creek with my 2nd grader. We couldn't even finish this school year at the charter school. The lack of communication from the majority of the teachers and some of the administration at the charter school was horrible. I never experienced this before with other teachers. Second grade teacher was not bad at all but middle school was just horrible there. We are so happy to be back at cypress creek and everyone was excited to see us back. I love their office staff and teachers. My 2nd grader is so happy to go to school now and be back with his friends. My oldest attends another school but he is also happy. I want to thank everyone at cypress creek for being so loving and caring so much for my children. I feel so relief now to have my boys happy where they are. If your child is going to be new at cypress creek, give them a try before judging them. No school is perfect. But this school is full of loving people who will care about your children. Also, get involved with events. Join the PTA. Participate and volunteer. You won't regret it!

We attended a program last night at the school where the school patrols were given their well-deserved badges, and where the teachers informed parents on many exciting things happening in class and many more to come. This school is definitely headed for an A school rating. Great Job!!!

Our family has been truly blessed by our experience at Ruskin Christian School over the past four…read moreyears. From the very beginning, we knew this was more than just a school--it's a Christ-centered community that genuinely invests in the hearts and minds of its students. The teachers and staff at Ruskin Christian go above and beyond to create an environment rooted in love, grace, and biblical truth. They not only teach with excellence but also lead by example, guiding our child in both academic achievement and spiritual growth. Every lesson, every prayer, and every chapel service is intentionally designed to point students toward Christ. We've watched our child grow in knowledge, confidence, and most importantly, in faith. The school's commitment to integrating biblical values into every subject and every activity has helped build a strong spiritual foundation that will last a lifetime. The communication and partnership between the school and parents have been exceptional. We've always felt supported, heard, and part of a larger mission to raise up the next generation of Christ-followers. After four wonderful years at Ruskin Christian School, we can honestly say it has shaped our child in all the right ways--spiritually, academically, and personally. We are so thankful for the lasting impact this school has had on our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where their child will be known, loved, and challenged in all the best ways.

There are so many problems. There was a time where the elementary was amazing, but a lot of those…read moreteachers have left and long been replaced. Just the year of 2025, they had a 5th grade teacher for less than a week because administrative leaders failed to ensure her background check was cleared I've heard 1st grade teacher brings in her baby for the day, and not while she's stopping by on a check in from maternity leave.... The dean is rude and the admin is found calling kids pigs, idiots, stupid, dumb, and among other things. They lost their soul and heart when a man named Mr. Good came in insisting his daughter Jen desanto be promoted as the administrator after the former one resigned. However, she was grossly under qualified (and the one calling the students those names) and he had to settle on having her be co-adminastrator with whoever was more qualified to help run elementary. Mark Good had no background in the education world, he's just a decent salesman and anyone who wasn't buying that his daughter was the best choice he quickly pushed out. They lack Christian character, along with the "superintendent" Rumsey. The English HS teacher is also the guidance counselor which results in lack of teaching, but she is pretty decent at keeping things confidential. They have a handful of really hard working teachers who love the ministry, but the leaders are making it more business mindset rather than allowing it to be a ministry. They let nearly anyone who is willing to pay tuition in, and have boosted the cost of tuition since the school choice has been enforced in Florida. Many students who graduated from here are unprepared for college, and Jen desanto has held up the process of being admitted into college for graduting seniors due to her negligence and laziness to get proper paperwork sent on on her side. They expelled multiple kids who joked about offing yourself, yet one student remains there because his parents are church members despite him threatening to shoot up the school, or more so referencing that he wouldn't shoot certain people.

I moved to Florida by my junior year and completed my Junior and soon will finish my Senior year here and I'm glad I became an Indian (our mascot). The school atmosphere is amazing and if your child comes here with the determination and grit to do better and get their education, that's what will happen. East Bay seems to be notorious for fights and various altercations, however it's only a small few handful of individuals that cause such chaos. East Bay has deputies on campus for our safety, wholesome lunches, caring and attentive teachers/staff and even more so, fabulous academic connections. I've been able to apply for various scholarships throughout Hillsborough County and there are also scholarships given SPECIFICALLY for East Bay students only. How amazing is that!? The principal Mrs. Cox knows about every single student by name, she's caring and wants the best for her students and staff. Cox has also done a scholarship workshop which has also helped me and various other students with scholarship applications and taught us how to "sell ourselves" in order to earn the money. The assistant principals (AP's) like Mrs. Garcia, Mrs. Cummings, Mr. Gunn and even Mr. Williams are extremely attentive and caring, making sure all students are doing what their supposed to do and making sure their in class. I haven't played a sport at this school, but I have heard great things about football and other sports as well. I've even seen one of my classmates have a signing and going to the school of his dreams for doing what he loves! If you're moving from somewhere or want to transfer your child to a new school, East Bay High School is the place to do so!
