Unfortunately, our experience with Country Isles has been disappointing. Staff interactions often feel dismissive and unprofessional, creating an environment thats unwelcoming for both parents and students. A positive, nurturing environment is essential for children to thrive, and I hope these changes can help the school better support its students."

I just want to say with great sadness. We are leaving this amazing school. We are moving on up to middle school and our experience here a country. Isles has been wonderful. I feel like my child is more than prepared for middle school. The teachers, principles, and support staff have been consistently, helpful and supportive throughout the years. They have always gone the extra mile. I would definitely recommend this school, especially if you have a child who needs any extra help in any areas. Everyone works well together to help a solution. Great school!

After reviewing all the elementary school in Weston we chose country isles. We have had an amazing experience and have received a lot of support getting our child to where he needs to be. He has had many difficulties with reading and everyone, the teachers, IEP support, and principal have been consistently helpful. Our last child will be starting here this fall and we couldnt be happier. We started at another local elementary and it was an awful experience. Country isles definitely turned things around for us!

My son's past teachers in Grade K-2 have been so helpful in his learning. He has excelled in his academics as well as social skills. Ms Davalos, and Ms Balva are excellent teachers.

So far this school its the best school in our area it has the best Autism/ Special needs program in the area. Worst teachers?? Who said that? Obviously someone who never had their child enrolled in it. Or never had to go through the experience we went through with another local school in Weston. I love that the school is small and it has the mostly lovingly teachers I had my special needs child enrolled in another school here in Weston which also has the program for Special needs children but obviously unprepared teachers to teach them. It was a nightmare there was not even a day that I sent my son to that school and did not cry just imagining what he was being putting through at that school full of mean people to not say mean teachers too, for the last passed 2 years he is the mostly happy child in his classroom. No more cryings in the mornings, screaming to not enter the building at that School I am so happy and glad that I managed to transfer him to Country Isles Elementary School. The best school so far..

I have many friends that are educators. This school has the worst teachers of Weston. They simply don't know how to teach. You can see them as test administrators. The parents must make up for the total lack of basic education skills of the teachers. The Principal has to be one of the least inspiring, most confused and most unfit principals of all Broward county.
Don't get fooled by the 7/10 (which is terrible for Weston standards), that reflects the excellent support of parents, and the wealthy nature of the location allowing one parent to act as the real teacher, while the class teachers act like test administrators.
It was poor before COVID. But with COVID, and all digital learning, the teachers now have become mini principals, doing a very confusing class structure, unbalanced work schedule that not even they understand. They try to be cool and enthusiastic, adding even more unneeded work to the children. Id be my house that if the Superintendent did an in-depth assessment of this school and all teachers, they would have to replace most of them.
If you are considering buying a home that lands your children here, think twice: one of you will have to be full time instructor, or pay for full time, afterschool tuition. They have nice smiles and expressed intentions, but no children here would be able to be promote to next grade were it not for the incredible effort of all parents.

Watch out for bullying at this school. Not only is it alive and well, but bullying behavior is rewarded. Sad but true.

I love how small this school is compared to others in the same district. I love being able to volunteer & give advise on how to better the school. I feel like they try their hardest to improve & make a place where kids feel welcome & safe.

They are very rude. All they ask about donation of $$$ and volunteer time for the school. After school pick up is absolutely mess. No control, no traffic direction on duty. All they do yelling at you, move, move, move. How about the safety of the children? They care themselves better than your children. Big NO NO for this school.

I moved to Weston from Miami because of the great school reputation. I am alittle when I compare CIE to the charter school they attended in Miami. No Spanish or second language class ( great disadvantage considering the global community we live in), dismissal is too early and grading system for k -2 is confusing and vague. Odviously these are all broward county issues, but I wanted to address. As far as CIE, their dismissal system is completely chaotic and which makes me concerned for my child's security. Their last school had the child with their teacher the whole time until they were handed to their parent and used a dash board and walkie system to move the Car lines along.

My child attends CIE. She loves the school and her teacher. My biggest issues would be A) lunch is at 10:30AM for 2nd grade B) Lack of security during release C) it seems the PTA solicits quite alot from families. I have seen actual emails and handouts requesting $ for a teachers gift. In my opinion uncalled for and puts those with less in a bad position. Outside of that great school and environment.

Great teachers and school staff. Not to happy with the attitude of some PTA members but not all of them are the same. There are people that is doing a great job for the school and as a parent Im grateful with them. I just will love to see a little more of security in the campus for the children. Thanks Country Isles Elementary. Great job!!!

I have two kids at CIE, and they both enjoy it, immensely. The teachers are experienced and and do a good job focusing on the individual student, even in a group setting. My kids are in 2nd and 4th .

my daughter just started 1 st grade and she loves her school and teacher. After a month i can say the teacher is very nice and cares about all her students. I meet other staff members from the school and everyone seems nice and helpful. I'm so pleased my daughter is part of the school now.

Our sons school is amazing. The PTA is made up of some amazing,dedicated, loyal people. Every teacher my stepson had from K-3 has been, Challenging, Interactive, Engaging, Creative, Aware, Involved with Patients. The dedication that the entire staff at Country Isles Elementary has is moving and inspiring.

Friendly, innovative teachers who truly care about developing each child's potential. I deliberately moved to this school district so that my child may has an opportunity to go to this school.

Bad teacher quality, if child not in gifted class, child is a problem, there label as a problem. I do not recommend this school terrible experience and poor quality staff they don't care if the have to teach is a problem they want the kids learned already...guess is for rate pay they get. GIVE THE SCHOOL A SAD FACE.
