Open Quote This school caters to gifted students. The emphasis is on FCAT and anything that contributes to higher scores is what is emphasized.Teachers are very concerned about how their class ranks and appears, rather than individual issues with regard to the child. If your child does not fit into this "box" then the school does NOTHING for your child. Any services your child needs will be cast aside while they tell you they are doing "monitoring". This monitoring does not result in anything except your child falling further and further behind. Administration is very tuned into "high status" parents and what you do for your livelihood. Wolves in sheep clothing is a term that applies to the admin staff at this school. Do not place your child here if not gifted. Close Quote
