This program may have worked ages and decades ago before common core but it is now pointless. The way this program is marketed is COMPLETELY misleading. This is NOT a tutoring type of program. I repeat, it is NOT a tutoring program. This program is intended to show the student other methods of working out problems not aiding them in understanding the material. For starters, they will not place your child i the area that needs work. No that's far too easy and will not generate enough revenue for them. They will start your child from the beginning of math regardless their age and grade. Yep, they're starting at first grade level that you have to pay $250 for monthly for ONE subject. They have to go through weeks of material of EACH GRADE level and must be completed within their ideal time allotment. If the answers are correct but the student exceeds the time allotment, the practice work will be extended for more weeks. The people "grading" the students' papers are probably about 16/17 years of age. I had my child in this program about 11 months before I had enough and pulled him out. It became a burden rather than an aid. Even at the 11 month mark the farthest he got for whichever excuse I was given was 4th grade. In normal daily class environment, the teachers want to see the work they did to obtain an answer. This program basically penalizes them for doing what the school system actually encourages. It is a scam, highly overpriced for what it is. I highly encourage all parents seeking out help for their children to hire a real actual experienced tutor. This is not what it seems, not what it's marketed to be and not what the program coordinator makes it out to be upon initial "interview".

Ms. Leanne Akerman has been working with her since the 3rd grade and she has gone from scoring well below grade level on the FAST n low Bs and Cs academically to moving her FAST scores up n passing both math n reading FAST and is now an honor roll student with As n Bs in the 4th grade. She has grown leaps and bounds since starting tutoring, has grown more confidence as a student and has improved academically significantly. Ms. Ackerman has fantastic techniques to redirect my daughter and keep her on task and with over 20 yrs of teaching experience, she has such patience and compassion for her students. She makes any subject enjoyable and knows how to communicate with kids in a way that gives them confidence about their abilities. I promise you will be satisfied

Palmetto Elementary School (PES) is truly a hidden gem in Pinecrest. Although a public school, it…read morehas the small, family feel of a private school. The parents and entire community are extremely involved and our award-winning (literally) PTA is spectacular, the most active and organized PTA I've ever seen, wow! PES also has a dad's club that is awesome. It is incredible to see so many fathers, along with the warrior mothers, involved all the time. Palmetto Elementary is one of the highest rated in testing, scoring at the top in most areas and grade levels. Of course, it is a "10 out of 10" and "A+" school and part of the Cambridge International program. PES combines exceptional education with endless supplemental programs, activities, clubs as well as exposure to the arts at every grade level (rarely seen at public schools). PES is focused on giving their students the most wholesome and diverse experience possible by fulfilling a child's need in every area. The magic of the school starts with our Principal, Mr. Torres! You will find him greeting children and parents, opening car doors and providing a smile and welcoming wave every morning! He is involved in every aspect of the school, including assisting parents in the office or directing traffic, if needed. He doesn't skip a beat, runs the school in the most efficient way possible. His support staff, teachers, teacher aides (also not common in public schools), couselors, security, and his entire team genuinely care; their combined efforts with parental support and involvement are what make Palmetto Elementary School the BEST! If you like a "small town" atmosphere, appreciate smaller class sizes (student to teacher ratio), want to have the most extraordinary and well-rounded education for your child, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Palmetto Elementary School.

Great neighborhood elementary school!read more
