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!

Most homeworks are done online where help is available to the child. The principal, assistant principal, teachers are all extremely welcome and there is an open door policy. The school is in a very safe neighborhood and the school is packed with cameras, which is amazing for the safety of the children. Unfortunately a charter school isn't for everyone. If you can't learn to follow RULES this school would not be a good match. If you like to socialize, engage with the child's education and volunteer then this is definitely a great school. GO Lightings !!!!!!

Charter schools operating as for-profit real estate schemes are draining money meant for students…read moreand teachers. Florida, it's time to pay attention. A recent analysis of Education Management Organizations (EMOs) operating in Florida uncovered a striking example: a charter firm and its construction partner sold two newly built schools to their affiliated real estate partner -- one for just $1, the other for $10. Once the real estate firm took over the leases, it raised the rent on the school that sold for $1 all the way up to $1,325,666 per year. That's public education money -- money meant for classrooms, teachers, and students -- flowing straight into a related company's pocket through an inflated lease. Florida taxpayers deserve to know where their school dollars are actually going.

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.

It's a Christian school but at least give the students some recognition for all their hard work through the year), and don't get me started on how many teachers we don't have causing barely any teaching. The English teacher is also a guidance counselor which means there's less teaching. The people are awesome and nice though and my family loves them. Just wished they'd fix these

I had Siri/Apple Maps pull up Canterbury's address before picking up my kids one day and was…read moresurprised that my search pulled up Yelp reviews - for a children's school? It's unfortunate that some folks had a negative experience with their kids here, but the same can be said for any public and private school - some kids and families do well and some do not. Private schools do have their drawbacks - specials needs, etc - as they simply don't have the vast resources as the public system does and are unable to change / derive curriculum to match each child and family due to their size and scope. As far as my experience at Canterbury with my two children, they love It and are learning at an excellent clip. The parent community is close-knit and are active participants at the school on a daily basis. I would give this school 10 stars if I could. That said, making a decision on your child's education is a very important and personal decision. In-person visits, interviews, and learning about the unique communities and cultures first hand are a must. In my opinion, if you are relying on Yelp and/or Google reviews, you're doing it wrong.
