Private Schools

This school is great at first but beware. They have a dermerit system which is horrible and every quarter they send letters wanting money for things your child did wrong. And if you can't pay, you will still be asked for money. The school receives all types of government funding, step up (up to $6,300 per child each year) and McKay. They also say they will tutor your children and some of the step up money can be used towards that but my son was never tutuored properly. By the time 4th grade was over he did not excell in math or science. This year I'm having to hold him back and he's redoing 4th grade. I was very disappointed in this school. He did not grow like he should have. They also have consistent candy and snacks available to the kids to make money and they can buy, so you never know how much sugar your child is having. The classrooms are small and congested. The teachers and staff are extremely friendly but the school rules are just bizarre. Boys have to wear pants and can't wear shorts in the hot summers. Academically, I don't think this is a school I would ever send my child to again. One year was enough. My son did not like it one bit. The school is also refusing to transfer my sons final grades and transcripts to the new school due to not paying dermerit fees I don't agree with. This is a Christian school. Unfortunately, I had to contact the Florida department of education to see if I can get his final transcripts. Sorry, but I have to give a thumbs down and we won't be returning. Hopefully God can see and understand why I'm posting this review. There are things this school most certainly needs to improve on. One would be refreshing their policy handbook.

I loved the small class size,the teachers there, and the fact that it was run by my church but I am sad that it closed down. Gulf Coast was a big part of my life.

Both of my children have had great academic and faith-based experiences in the 12 years we have been attending Holy Family. I love the new principal this year. As a former Holy Family student, teacher, and parent, Abigail Rudderham has brought a renewed energy and excitement to the school.

this school helps great students get into amazing schools no matter where they come from

Our son has been attending Alegria Montessori School for the past 2 years. I cannot speak highly enough of the curriculum, teachers, and support staff at the school. This school is truly amazing!! If you are looking for a loving environment that fosters independence and an inner love of learning in your child, look no further.

Incredible community and academic environment .. so greatful to be surrounding by a Christ centered learning environment where we can all grow deeper in our faith as a family and know our children are safe, nutured, loved and challenged!

It is an excellent school, which encourages children to be better, not just in the academic area, but on values and principles. I feel very fortunate that my child is a part of this school. As a parent, I feel like I am always welcome and always invited to be a part of my child's education. The office staff is beyond excellent. Parents and students just love them. BSCS approach to teaching and curriculum is beyond words. My child has thrived at this school and my questions, concerns and suggestions are always addressed. Our Principal (Mrs. Clark) goes over and above and I am thankful for her and the dedicated parents that volunteer so much of their time to be sure our school succeeds. This isn't a school where you just send your child for 8 hours but a community that works together.

It was great the boyscouts pinewood Derby meeting place.

This is an excellent school. I loved this placed.

We just met with them for the first time. First impressions counts too! They were super nice and all was explained perfectly.

My son has enjoyed spending another great, fun filled summer camp at Poinciana Christian Preparatory School. Thank you PCPS staff members.
