I disagree with the only other person who reviewed this school. Though as we all know, these are…read moreour opinions so the only way to know better than what we state, is to look into it for yourself. This is a great school, the principle (Mrs. French) is AMAZING-knows most all of the students by name, even the 6th graders. My child is a good girl-her average yearly GPA is a 3.9. I think that being separated from boys is a great idea because the girls can focus on their studies rather than on the boys (don't act like you can't relate, or did you forget how it is to be a teen with raging hormones?). In my opinion, they need to create an all girls high school as well-but the county won't, nor those parents who think their 2 cents is needed (if you don't support single gender schools and have no intentions of enrolling your child in one-keep your opinion to yourself-this obviously doesn't apply to you and we don't need your voice heard in regards to this matter). At any rate, the area does kinda suck but having a magnet school in the area is just a tactic to bring/clean up the surrounding neighborhood, or so I assume. The school is old, obviously not the employees faults but not filthy. I believe the maintenance/cleaning crew has won an award for 2 yrs in a row now for their team/performance. The curriculum is challenging-but maybe that's because my daughter is in all advanced courses-yes, every last one (yes-I am a proud mother, but I am sure you get that by all I've said thus far). I have no complaints of the staff. The teachers communicate well, and the office staff are courteous. The HOST program is great and the HOST staff...well I couldn't ask for better. My daughter has been on the school's soccer team and also in band and I'll be adding Golf Academy to the list for this upcoming school year. Overall, this has been an excellent experience. I drive 20 mins. out of my way (taking Expressway of course, and tack on another 15 mins. to get to my job), but it is worth it to me. We fully intend on finishing out her middle school experience at Ferrell. My daughter loves the school and if she loves it, then I love it too. But a lot of the girls love the school and make good grades (of course not all)-so that should speak for something! Oh-and they do have school dances where the boys from the all boys prep school (Franklin I believe) come to attend. The girls also play their sports right before the all boys prep so there's a chance to mingle there for a few...and also in the summer HOST program, it is co-ed. So see? Not JUST all girls-they so get some boy interaction, it's just not on a daily which is fine by me! Besides, most girls in this age group would rather be around girls...this is the age range where they start to blossom. Oh, this is an Apple certified school, so each girl is assigned an iPad to carry throughout the day. Check it out-only you can decide what you believe is best for your daughter. I only see benefits for mine. This is an A rated school. It is new, I believe only 3 yrs old, but trust me, your child can reap more benefits by attending this school than a co-ed or traditional school. Go see for yourself :) Oh, and this review is not up for debate. I'm not interested in hearing the confrontational parent who wants to argue single gender schools, this is just my review on my daughters school, that we so love.

All the teachers but the one with the glasses and the sweet Cuban lady seem to hate their jobs. My daughter's teacher was inherently lazy; and I caught her several times SCREAMING and cussing out my two year old. When I brought up the problems to the owner, she made a ton of excuses. We had some verbal sparring over the phone; and after I made SEVERAL reports to both the health department AND Hillsborough county, she told me to leave. I had already moved my daughter, so. If you research (which I wish I had done before) there have actually been a ton of complaints filed here over the years. It's obvious the owners are only in it for the money. They don't do a lot of projects with the kids, the food is crap, and everything is incredibly old and dirty. Any time you bring up problems, you get a ton of attitude. One time, I caught a staff member spraying bleach water next to my kid, and I asked her to stop and I got yelled at for it? So I brought it up to the owner and she said it wasn't bleach. It was labeled bleach water and I know what bleach smells like! I was told that my daughter had to wear shorts under her dresses or skirts because "the little boys in the class are curious" where TF are the teachers if the little boys have time to do that? My daughter shouldn't have to change what she wears because the teachers aren't doing their jobs. In addition, I've walked in several times and the kids were by themselves and the teacher was nowhere in sight! Stay away from this place; I wish I had never subjected my daughter to it. I hope it gets shut down.

My kids have gone here for two years now and we can't say enough good things about our experience…read more My daughter is in the 3's class and my son is in the after school program. The staff is tenured, loving, and really know how to engage the kids and genuinely care about them. Any interactions with the administration team have been very professional and pleasant. I know my daughter will be very prepared for Kindergarten after VPK! She is not even in VPK yet and knows all of her letters, sounds, numbers, is writing her name and short words, and most importantly seems like she loves to learn.

Lowest 4 reviews…read more I will be going in more soon to give more details, but I at least wanted to get something on here. I am going to be in litigation with this cheer studio over what they allowed to happen to my daughter. They create an environment of excluding girls from activities that they think aren't good enough or rich enough. My daughter was bullied into an injury....and she was hurt by the daughter of the team mom....the same team mom cheer express supported when she had a Barbie party and invited half the girls on the team and left the other half off. ....including my daughter. The same mom who put to me in writing that she would make sure my daughter was excluded from everything in the future. I offered to show all the screenshots to the ownership, who refused to even look at them...so it's no surprise the daughter started injuring and bullying my daughter. This place is very supportive of the team moms...they have no idea what it means to be inclusive...so the owners FULLY support this behavior!!!My daughter had serious injuries and since this is going to court...I can't share them here...but I may share the video of my daughter in a breakdown from the bullying and dropping on purpose. I am going to create another review of the text communication between myself and the team mom who had my daughter excluded on purpose....this was you can see for yourself. I'll put another review up for that. And if you quit early, all the stuff you purchased/bought is stolen...never given back. Honestly, it's just this place...we came from top dog and had nothing but positive experiences, no bullying, no uppity and snobby parents...it was all positive at top dog and they won all the time too!!! If you care about your child and their mental health....DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!. I had the same review up on google, but they took it down....

Very, very disappointed and upset with this "school". I have never written a review before, but…read morepeople should be warned about this place. As a classical musician, I feel it almost my duty to leave a review from the point of view of someone who knows music. In short, the prices here are high and the quality is low. I have met "Dr. Jain" and she is a business person, not a musician. Judging from all I have been told and seen, she is all about money and her school is pseudo-classical; she would not succeed in fooling people in New York or Paris, or any other culturally developed city. She took my daughter's and son-in-law's time and money and left their children with poor music skills and a terrible attitude toward their music. I am grandmother to two beautiful, gifted grandchildren. I am classically trained in both piano and violin and I graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris and continued as a professional classical musician in Europe for many years. I recently came to New Tampa to be near my son and his family. I was excited to work with the children and be involved with their training. When I heard them play, I was truly shocked and heartbroken. Both are way behind in their music and they will have to be re-trained: they have poor technique, poor hand position, and worst of all, they are bored with piano and want to quit. All the good habits from their previous teacher were gone and they didn't practice, arguing that their teachers "didn't care" about these things and that the teachers said they were doing "fine". They don't even have any books! Their music is a lot of loose, photocopied pages. I attended a group class with them to see and I was shocked with what I saw and heard from all students- truly horrified. Shortly after, we pulled the children and I have temporarily taken over their training until their new classical teacher can fit them into her schedule. Again, I am appalled at what I have learned is passing for music training at this establishment.

I am an adult student who originally in my teens was studying to be a concert pianist. Since I did not pursue that goal I decided to resume my studies.

I have been so pleased with my studies words cannot describe the the personal sense of accomplishment I have received from my studies. Viktor is a brilliant pianist and great instructor. He is patient to a fault and is always cognizant of the students needs. I look forward to my lessons every week.
