Los maestros necesitan aprender un poco mas lo que es pedagogía y enseñanza no solo trabajar por un salario y sin ganas verdaderas de enseñar me parece una escuela como muchas otras regidas por un sistema educativo que no funciona

I have had a great personal experience with this school for the past 3 school years. I am very big on clarity and communication, so far I have no complaints.

Teachers need to learn, to respect the students if they want to get respect back, they raise the voice to the kids. Is not a propitiate way to get respect.

This school is losing rather than winning quality. Some teachers are good and concerned but not all. Others do not use the best methods to teach and achieve discipline, imposing punishment, shouting or saying derogatory phrases to achieve what is supposed to achieve with pedagogy and expertise, given that you're dealing with children, which I think they forget very often. In this case we have one PE teacher. The positive, the two people working in the office, very efficient, courteous and always help you to resolve any concerns. Esta escuela va perdiendo calidad en vez de ganar. Algunos maestros son buenos y preocupados pero no son todos. Otros no usan los mejores metodos para ensenar y lograr disciplina, imponiendo castigos, gritando o diciendo frases despectivas para lograr lo que se supone se logre con pedagogia y pericia, teniendo en cuenta que estas tratando con ninos, algo que creo se les olvida muy a menudo. Como algunas profesoras de PE. Lo positivo, pues las dos personas que atienden la oficina, muy eficientes, corteses y siempre te ayudan a resolver cualquier inquietud.

School has earned an A for eight consecutive years, based on the State of Florida s Accountability System, priding itself on having knowledgeable and caring teachers and staff. Under the principal's leadership, teachers collaborate to provide the best education possible. Student achievement is also proportionate to the amount of parental involvement offered by parents who are interested in their children's success.
