GPE has been a great place for all 3 of my children.

Leslie Public school district as a whole is focused on the family, support and growth of the student. If an issue should arise, they are great about open communication and helping to work for the best results. Choosing Leslie as a school of choice for our family has been the best option. Excellent parent involvement, communication and support from administration and staff. There is no one school that will fit every aspect of your personal preference, but I will say Leslie will strive to meet you! Great experience from academic support, family support, team support and music/band support. It's great to know that your student is known by their name and not a number, that the school focuses on the whole student and strives to prepare them for the next year moving forward toward graduation. Well-rounded districted with community members who are invested and care about the students and school. Love seeing the support from the community. Safety is top priority with the district and community. Have deeply enjoyed and loved seeing our children attend Leslie and graduate.

Update as of 4/29/2024. I originally wrote a review for this school about 3 years ago. Please see my original review below toward the bottom: Miss Bloomingdale's continues to be such a great school for our youngest daughter. She is now 5, and in the Pre-K/Kindergarten program, and just loves all her teachers there. Miss Chere is clearly one of her favorites. And even though she is not in Miss Chere's class anymore, she always wants to make sure I take her to Miss Chere's classroom so she can say hi to her and give her a hug. But all the teachers continue to be great. And Miss Bloomingdale's as an institution is really a great value. For the combination of care, education and tuition rates...they are well worth it. And it's evident that they do the best they can to keep their tuition rates as reasonable as possible while still being able to provide a quality education and stay in business in this highly competitive environment. Original review: I can’t say enough good things about this daycare / school. Having all three of our daughters enrolled at Miss Bloomingdale’s Academy throughout the years has truly been a blessing. They are dedicated to providing excellent childcare and a high-quality education for your child. When our oldest daughter started Kindergarten, she had already learned most of the things they were teaching her because of her preparation at Miss Bloomingdale’s. Our girls have always loved all of their teachers there, and they even complain sometimes that we’ve picked them up too early because they’ve been having so much fun learning or playing there. Our experience with their infant and toddler care has also been excellent. They always ensure that your child, no matter what age, is engaged and enjoys going there. And during COVID-19 they were great about implementing protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of all children and staff. Rest assured that if you decide to enroll here, they’ll take great care of your kids. Highly recommended!

Is racism and sexism and homophobic dont take your kid here

Pineville Elementary is a great school for students and for families. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and want them to succeed. Kids are excited to come to school every day and work hard! Every year, the school is continuing to grow academically! Love Pineville Elementary and the community!

This is the first year that my daughter has attended, and all I can say is great things about MA! The facility do an amazing job all around between the education, family involvement, and more. We had considered moving recently, and our daughter begged to continue to stay at MA.. that’s how much she likes the school. The teachers actually teach here, and the school is more like a close knit community who helps all the kids, when in need. It’s truly a beautiful experience, and I couldn’t have made a better decision for our daughter. She will be attending next year, and we’re so excited to be there for another year. For reference, not that it matters to me, but I’ve seen a few comments regarding race here.. my daughter is African American, and there is more diversity within this school that’s progressing. I hate to hear the bad experiences but luckily, I can say my daughter has experienced any bullying or derogatory comments by any staff or peers. The teachers here are phenomenal, especially Mrs. Bullard, the third grade teacher!!

I have two (2) children at this school two years apart and they have attended here for five years. We have experienced between the (2), the elementary school, the middle school, and presently the high school. I love this school for our children. No school is perfect, but I appreciate all of the work the administrators, teachers and support staff put into this school for our children. Teaching is a calling and they genuinely love the students, love Jesus, and have a high standard of holding the kids and families to account with firmness, love and grace (cause you know our children aren't perfect right?). Our children's teachers are wonderful, from English to Math, and Science, to all the exceptional Creative Arts this school has to offer. Our children are both athletes as well, and the school has a wide variety to choose from. When issues arise at the school, they are mindful about addressing and putting corrective measures in place. As parents we need to work in a partnership with the school and be a part of whatever change we would like to see. Unfortunately (in general, parents will get offended and leave a school without ever letting a school know what the reason was or even a chance to correct an issue. Like anything it takes time to change bad situations.) This school is open to addressing changes that stay in lock step with biblical principles. I appreciate this school and all of their effort they pour into our children, in loving them, teaching them, and keeping them in a safe environment. I love this school for our children can't you tell. I hope this blesses someone in their decision making process to send their children here. Note: They also offer Grizzly Academy. Be Blessed.

I am very happy with this school. My daughter is a first grader and I feel she had learned a lot!

I love this school and everything it has to offer! Teachers and faculty really care about the students!

My daughter was bullied throughout her school career. Nothing was done to ease the bullying and when my daughter took matters into her own hands, so was the bad guy. Some of her teachers did not respect the arrangements that were made between myself and administration regarding my daughter. My daughter was miserable at this school and did not feel safe or that she had enough emotional support from staff at this school. The staff would not respond or would avoid answering my questions when it came to the reports my daughter had made about being bullied or certain teachers making my daughter uncomfortable. I would not recommend this school to any parents in this town.

Admin and staff are disconnected with students and put no effort into making them successful and prepared for their future. Most teachers want the easy button and don’t want to put the time or passion of there field of learning into the children of the future and it’s sad. Middle and high school are completely better then the elementary by far and most parents would say the same

Our experience at Allapattah so far has been great! My child currently attends Allapattah and has been going to this school since kindergarten and is now going into the 3rd grade.

It feels wrong because our teacher don't help us when we need big help

The school itself is amazing. anything that touches sports activities is a terrible trauma for young people. especially for team activities, and especially for cheerleader girls. coaches are very uncompetitive, they choose their favorite children or the children of their friends. everything is done in a transparent manner and it is frustrating. because such behavior traumatizes other girls. advice, don't let girls into that team. not to mention that their teams are very poorly prepared. And I'm not saying this in my own opinion. many mothers are disappointed. Coaches apply supposedly high requirements, but choose children who do not meet these requirements, and this is all reflected in the competition season, varsity girls are constantly falling like a house of cards. does not perform an elementary exercise. I just think that the school should pay more attention to this sport. just because of the emotional trauma experienced by young girls. and the funniest thing is that the school coaches say that one or the other girls are not suitable for the team. although they are rated very well in private star cheerleader teams! this is once again shown by the unprofessionalism of the central high school coach.

The school was great, it was the principal that's the problem, I heard she almost called the ambulance to send my sibling to a psych ward because she didn't understand something. She also is rude and a very unhappy person to be around. I would recommend to come, but unfortunately she practically runs it.
