Love this school! My kids are doing awesome here and are excited to tell me about their day at the end of the day! If there is ever a problem with bullying I talk to my kids teachers and the principal then deals with all of it. The principal, teachers and staff go 100% above and beyond what is expected. I refused to buy a house out of Patronis school zone they make that much of a difference in my kids. A previous school out of this county said my daughter was special needs based on testing and put her in an isolated room with others with "special needs" where she did not learn anything at Patronis my daughter, my son in 4th grade and my kindergartner are all a honor roll a and b honor roll and my youngest has "s' all the way across. My kids are thriving and never happier thanks to Patronis! It is truly an honor and experience having my kids here!

My son transferred into the 4th grade 10/2016 and was bullied nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY!! When I brought it up to the principal she didn't want me to "throw" around the word bully! I'm an educated person and KNOW what bullying is!!!!

We are a military family and my son is very academically advanced and this school did nothing but hold him back!

I didn't really have a chance to get to know my sons teacher.

When my son (4th grade) made the comment in front of the principal that he wished everyone would just be nice and get along (with myself and my husband present) she retorted that "the world doesn't work like that"!

HORRIBLE!! My son was bullied constantly!!! Administration did nothing, oh but when my son finally fought back, HE got suspended for a day!!

Oh it's great if you're behind, but heaven forbid if your advanced for your current grade level!!

HORRIBLE!! The absolute worst school & administration I have dealt with both in and out of the United States!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier with Patronis Elementary. When we were moving to the area I visited with one of their guidance counselors to get a feel for the school. The thing that struck me is that it was so clear that all the teachers LOVED to be there. They were all like sister taking care of a bunch of awesome little kids. Now my girls are in 5th and 3rd grade and they are so proud of their school and happy to be there. All the kids are well behaved for the most part, too. One time I visited my daughters second grade class with my parents in tow. We walked in and the kids were all sitting and working silently without as much as a peep. It was shocking, honestly to see 20 little second graders just being peacefully at their desks and working away! I love Patronis and my kids couldn't be happier.

It was my great fortune, nineteen years ago to have been hired at one of the most innovative and pioneering schools in Florida. As a research and design facility, teachers at Patronis Elementary School shared a unique and passionate desire to teach, think and learn in a multitude of different ways. I have observed that passion grow exponentially through countless interactions as progressive teaching minds team up and are willing to expand their thinking beyond the realm of possibilities typically expected in an educational setting. Toward the end of his life, Michelangelo is believed to have said, Ancora Imparo, which translated means I am still learning. Our school is a living example of that profoundly powerful philosophy. Through vast and varied styles, our teachers embrace revolutionary teaching strategies such as flipped classrooms, project-based learning, and technology immersion. Our students are empowered by choices, thus leading them to be active participants in their own learning. Year after year, Patronis Elementary remains a highly-ranked school in all areas and one that parents strongly desire for their children.

I absolutely love everything about Patronis. My daughter has such a love for school and looks forward to going every day. We have had wonderful teachers every year and the administration is friendly and considerate. There is no other school in the county that I would rather have my daughter attend!

We are most definitely thrilled with the education that our two children have recieved at Patronis. We are a military family, and are hopeful at each new duty station to have a school with quality education and caring teachers that guide our children well. Patronis has done just that. Now I know that each student and each teacher are different. Not every teacher is a good fit with each student. However, it has been our experience that if you remain a constant advocate and establish regular communication with your children's teachers, that issues become quickly resolved. Patronis is absolutely one of the best schools our children have attended thus far.

My family has been delighted with Patronis Elementary. My son made tremendous progress academically in 3rd grade, thanks to an attentive and skilled teacher. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her 5th grade year, both in terms of learning and social opportunities. The campus is friendly and welcoming, with gardens planted by students, staff, and volunteers.

This is one of the few schools where one can approach administration and not feel overwhelmed or helpless. Mrs. Spivey is a wonderful person, principal and just an all around great lady. Her loving attitude spills over to teachers and staff who work very hard to help each and every child accomplish. The A rating is well deserved and I feel my gifted child has been properly challenged. PTA is strong at this school and hosts festivals and fundraising events outside the usual box. I especially appreciated NOT receiving tons of stuff from them begging for donations. The campus is pretty too. All around great place for learning.
