I am very happy to have both my kids in this school, the principal is on top of everything, the assistant principal is a great man, always caring for every student, the teachers are good, there is a lot of communication if you need it, and the guidance counselor has helped if there was a necessity. My

The school is not crowded at all, being one of weston's schools with the least amount of students, therefore teacher/student ratio is very low thank god. There is no room for bulling since the rules are alway set from the beginning and the kids know what is expected from them. Carpool is very smooth. And the cafeteria is extremely organized. Read less

Indian Trace Elementary is a great public school. The new class size amendment has brought classes down to under 25 kids so in that respect it is superior to private schools. Grades come home every two weeks for the parents to review so you should know where your student stands. If I could change
... Read more something about it I would have them emphasize multiplication tables as was done when I was in school. I think they don't emphasize them because of calculators so it is up to the parent to teach them on their own time. Also there are no after school activities that most boys would enjoy. Only chorus and art. It would be nice to have some sports available once or twice a week for a cost. Read less

Our school also offers a variety of extra curricular activites for the children, including an Art program, Chorus and, soon a Spanish program. We are also very lucky to have a strong PTA, with hundreds of terrific parent volunteers. The PTA provides wonderful activities for the children, such Book and Safety Fairs, Talent Show and Spaghetti Dinner Night (with teacher performances).

* In 2008-2009 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 8 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 11 in science. The FCAT Writing results are displayed separately on GreatSchools profiles. The FCAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.
