I have worked in both Miami-Dade Public Schools and Broward Public Schools for 23 years and Tombaugh is hands down superior in all respects. Family is involved in many facets of the childrens' education, administrators and teachers are approachable and helpful, teachers are respectful, enthusiastic about teaching, and supportive of all students, high achieving or not. Frequent communications to parents keep them "in the loop" and opportunities for feedback are offered. My granddaughter loves going to school, and that's the most important endorsement.

I used to go to this school from 2008 to 2013. Unfortunately I had to move out of state or I would've stayed as long as I could. The teachers are passionate about their work and are very good at their job (in my opinion). There were lots of programs in my years of education like music, art ,PE. We even learned Chinese everyday.
