Incarnation Catholic School in Tampa

Posted: October 15, 2025

There were some ups and downs with previous Principals, I believe the current one is taking the school in a good direction... However, there's some changes on teachers still that need to be address for a better education results...

School does little to support children that dont fit their cookie cutter standards, even at a very young age. Little volunteer and family bonding opportunities despite being charged for not hitting the mandated hours.

There is a new principal every year, I wonder why? They defiantly only care about money and don't use those funds to actually help the students or teachers. Which is crazy because the tuition obligations are quite substantial. My child was bullied non stop, segregated, and treated like an outsider. The best thing I ever did was find a better school that would provide positive reinforcement and a positive environment. I wanted this school to work out but it was having a negative effect on my child's mental health, which is sad and unbelievable. Please think of your child's emotional well being before enrolling them here.

This school and staff are fantastic. This was the first year so there are always kinks to work out but they did it and things went smoothly. I can not say enough of the principal and staff. The principal always meets the kids each morning at drop off and is there every afternoon at pick up. She is very hands on and involved in all events. The teachers are involved and care about the learning as well as the whole child. The PTO did a great job with helping get supplies and technology in the classrooms. When my child loves going to school and loves all the staff then that says a lot about the school. I am very happy Incarnation Family. Tampa school. and look forward to the upcoming years.

I couldn't pick a better school for my son .

Incarnation Catholic School is a family! After much touring and looking for the best private school that would suit our son and family we choose ICS because of the family atmosphere it offer us as well as the education. The staff and teachers are so loving and really show that they deeply care for our sons over all well-being. We came to ICS for the 2019 school year and has not been disappointed since. We will return next year. And even in the mist of uncertainty during a world pandemic they excelled and brought their best for our son and all the families that make of ICS. Thank you for all you do for us no amount of thank yous are sufficient. May God Bless you all.

My wife and I have three sons and our oldest has attended several schools due to job relocations. Incarnation Catholic School (ICS) is by far the best school that our children have attended. Our middle child is currently attending ICS and we will be enrolling our youngest there next year for preschool. We have found the entire staff to be exceptionally friendly and professional. They appropriately demand good behavior and effort, while also fostering a very loving and supportive environment conducive to learning. Our son is thriving at ICS and we would highly recommend for families in Tampa looking for an affordable private school.

Excellent school, my child has had the opportunity to travel to Kennedy Space Center and Tallahassee for Middle School trips, and is looking forward to the 8th grade trip to DC. Looking forward to another great year!

All the teachers go out of their way to make sure their students are taken care of, most are involved in after school programs to give students many opportunities.

Posted: July 24, 2019

Always looks for ways to improve the school!

We do not understand some of the negative reviews on this site. This is a great school and my kids are very happy, which to me, is the most important. We've had great teachers so far and have been happy with the administration.

The last day of school the principal couldn't wait for everyone to leave. She seriously has no social skills. Still wondering how she got that job. Will not be coming back next year. I want to be part of a school that wants me and my child there. Get rid of her

The principal is amazing. She truly cares about everyone of her students. She strives to create the best environment for the people around her. She makes a point to get to know all of the kids and she is very kind and caring. She has created a wonderful school with wonderful students and staff.

Posted: May 22, 2019

The principal understands that each student is different and that everybody needs to be treated differently. They adequately deal with bullying in a fare and reasonable matter.

Posted: May 22, 2019

This is an amazing school that has a wonderful environment.

Posted: May 22, 2019

The teachers are amazing and truly care about kids. The strive to give them the best education they can. Each teacher has a personal relationship with each student helping the school grow as a community.

Posted: May 22, 2019

All the staff at the school help make sure all of the students are well and taken care of. They strive to make sure each child is happy.

Posted: March 21, 2019

Not at all. There are no accommodations for these children even if they have an IEP plan.

Posted: March 21, 2019

Nope! The principal will either give them detention or a day off

Posted: March 21, 2019

There are many great teachers at this school others lack in some areas

Posted: March 21, 2019

The school itself and teachers do try however it can be hard when leadership is lacking these qualities.

Posted: March 21, 2019

The principal is not approachable. The comments showing 5 stars that were recently made were more than likely done by her or she sent someone to do them. Very sad

Posted: March 21, 2019

This school was amazing when Mr. Zelenka was principal. Many things that brought the families together have been taken away

Posted: March 5, 2019

ICS is a wonderful school, with caring teachers and it feels like family. We are very happy here.

Posted: March 1, 2019

Excellent school. Very pleased with the new technology and curriculum updates.

Love the administration!!!!! There is truly a vision with ICS.

Incarnation Catholic School in Tampa is a grade A.

The teachers that were there when the principal mr. zalenka was there are awesome. Unfortunately most teachers are new and not very effective when teaching

Posted: August 20, 2018

My daughters attended that school since they were both 5. Now 9 and 11, the principal decided to tell me that my 9 year old with possible ADHD could not be accommodated at this school any longer due to the lack of resources available to the children.

Posted: August 20, 2018

My daughter was bullied all throughout the previous school year and since nothing was done, during the summer she confronted her bully over the phone and was suspended on the second day of school for sticking up for herself. If bullying occurs both students should face Consequences.

Huge disappointment on the school, the principal and their curriculum.

I have two boys aged 9 and 6 that have been going to Incarnation since PRE-K and they love it. I like the academics and values they teach there. Wonderful staff and the principal is awesome and very professional.

Posted: September 14, 2013

This school is the best school for Pre- K or Kindergarten children. Once they join and go all the way up to 8th grade, they'll feel like they're part of the family. You can join at whatever age and everyone there will welcome and surround you with love. Sports and clubs are the best activities there. The teachers are kind and loving, but always keep everyone in order. I was part of this Irish family and I'll always will be. This is my home and as soon as you join you'll never forget the wonderful memories the students and faculty give you. I love this school and so do everyone else who attends. Once an Irish, ALWAYS an IRISH!!!

The priest runs this school and he is not a very nice person. He has fired many dedicated professionals. I pulled my children out of this school and was so glad that I did. There are better public schools out there than this school!

Posted: February 26, 2012

Incarnation is a fantastic school. We have two kids there now and couldn't be happier with the Pastor, Principal, and the great team of teachers and administrators. ICS provides a superior overall learning experience that includes religion, PE, Art, Music, Spanish, Science, School Garden, Science, Computer Lab, Community Service, Sports Teams, Chess Club, etc. Kids learn morals, values, patriotism, Christian/Catholic beliefs -- behaviors that are reinfored at home. ICS students are well-behaved, responsible, and enthusiastic. The school has a family atmosphere -- the parents and kids all know each other, which strengthens bonds and enhances the educational experience. There is a lot of pride in this school. If you are considering private education for your child(ren), you will be impressed and pleased with everything ICS has to offer. Check out the website or take a tour of the school and see for yourself how wonderful it is.

Definitely a top notch school. The principal and priest are role models with high standards, and they expect the same from their staff, faculty, students and families. Those who find difficulty in following those high academic and moral standards, will not excel at this school. The past two years have shown significant improvement in the quality of education as well as improvement in the facilities. I am so proud to have my children enrolled in a school that lives its mission statement!

Posted: October 24, 2011

This school is a NIGHTMARE!!!!! The Principal and Priest are truly incompetent. The principal is young and has no business in that position without having more years of experience that comes along with tenure. There are no aides left in the classrooms and saw multiply teachers FIRED!!! I would never recommend this school to anyone not even as a last resort. RUN!!!!!!

Posted: August 5, 2011

We love ICS. As parents, we could not be happier with the caring, firm, and smart leadership that Father Michael and Mr. Zelenka (Principal) have exemplified. They are great decision makers and excellent examples of strong role, moral models.

Posted: June 18, 2011

Can't wait for the 2011-2012 School Year. Looking forward to a promising school year with strong leadership and challenging academic programs. Our new principal, loyal teachers and new Pastor are dedicated to providing our students with a faith filled Catholic education. Thanks ICS!

Wow, I'm not sure how anyone would like this school. They just fired another teacher (Spring '11). This makes 5 teachers fired, 4 more /left because of the Priest/Bishop's dealings with the school, a beloved principle also fired, and about 8 aides fired! Half of the staff (the aides) weren't replaced and was a money making attempt. I took all of my children out and would never think of putting them back into that school until the Priest leaves. It hasn't improved over the last year, it has gotten worse.
