Horrible I been wanting for my child to be moved to another classroom as the teacher my child has now should not teach elementary the energy he gives, how he pick and chooses what he wants to do or say and no one says anything. The school is not much help and do not listen to the parents concerns.
I do not recommend this school and there’s a reason the reviews has been turned off on the site.

The teachers and staff are very involved with the overall well being of their students, remembering each one by name and working with the families to make each child's experience at Fishing Cove Elementary a positive one. The PTO has been very active in working with parents and the community to make every opportunity a lasting impression on the excellence we all need to strive for and instill in our children. I have worked with several of the teachers to address my concerns over my child's needs as he's progressed through the grades and each teacher has been supportive, patient, and nurturing. Please continue to keep up the great job educating and inspiring the youths of today so they can grow into the leaders of tomorrow!

My child is receiving a world class education at Fishing Cove. My son is thriving under the most excellent teaching staff both academically and socially. I love how the school integrates the actual fishing cove marsh into science and art curriculum. Talk about the value of hands on learning! The PTO is incredibly active too, and continuously develop new and engaging ways for families to be a part of the Fishing Cove community. We have every confidence that this jewel of a school is preparing our son for a rigorous and successful academic career. The teaching staff are tremendously experienced, the classroom sizes are optimal for peak student performance, and the Fishing Cove families are kind, inclusive and highly engaged with their children and with the community at large. We are thrilled that our son is fortunate enough to be able to attend this wonderful school!

So far I have loved the teachers, principal involvement, parent involvement, and the way my daughter comes home from school happy as can be every day. I love the education she is gaining, her safety is always priority, and the nurse is very friendly and communicative. Overall great school!

My school is great on how managing students and the syllabus covered on day to day basis. The jewel bucket filling by the class and voting on rewards options is an excellent idea.
