My child is in pre-k in this school and I'm actually very happy with it. Respectful teachers and office ladies are polite. It is smaller than the average schools, I think it feels safer.

My son is in 4th grade and since kindergarten everything in this school has been good, he has been keeping good grades and learned a lot. Both my kids are happy with their teacher and the school.

Since the new principal started this year it has been a night and day change! Everyone seems genuinely happier, and he is such a great guy! You feel like he actually cares about you when you talk to him. All the teachers I've had the pleasure of meeting have been wonderful, and the speech therapists have been a dream! We love Fisher! Go Marlins!

The teachers are mainly good, but I have not been at all impressed with the administration. This is a school where the administrators only care about attendance and test scores. The kids are rewarded for perfect attendance by getting to play a game, which means that when my children are too ill to attend school and I keep them home, they cry because they're going to miss playing Minute to Win It. I understand encouraging attendance but it doesn't seem fair to punish the kids for being sick. Also, our old school focused a lot more on reading and a lot less on practicing for standardized tests, and the test scores there were comparable to the ones at Fisher. I think this is a district-wide issue, but the kids only have gym class every other day, and they have art and computer classes only once every ten days. I wish they had gym class daily.

Both my kids just started attending school here this year and were both bullied from the start because of their non-Hispanic ethnicity. Harassment or bullying should not be acceptable on any campuses across the country, but somehow it is here at Fisher Elementary. My oldest son had been bullied and harassed by students in his classes because of his ethnic background. Unless you're of Hispanic ethnicity, I would not recommend!
