My kids have been at this school for 4 yrs and overall I think they did ot get the best help from teachers as they fall behind it appears to many kids need tutoring and they do not have enough teachers tutoring after hours so they have to wait until there is a spot. I would be willig to offer to pay
... Read more for one of the teachers there to private tutor my kids but none is offered or thy can not refer anyone. I just can't not understand why they would ot offer such a list as an additional way to supplement a teachers income and it would be worth it and my kids deserve it instead they suffer to fall behind.

My son had a great Kindegarten experience last year at Florence Hill. After relocating from New York, it was quite pleasing to find a school with teachers that care about their students. Great school, good teachers...Way to go Florence Hill.

I am sad to hear about the few 'bad experiences' at Florence Hill. I am sure every school has had their situations. We have been involved in Florence Hill for the past 6 years, and I have been very pleased with the education that my children are receiving. They both test in the top percent in the country

The parental involvement is exceptional, and the teaching staff and administrative staff are very friendly and seem to love what they do! The teachers that we have had have been exceptional, and have lots of experience and a love for teaching! We have the means to send our children to private school, but gave Florence Hill a chance and we have been very pleased! Read less

My son attended FH for two years. The teachers are not great, but they will suffice, if you do a lot of supplemental teaching at home. His teachers spoke Ebonics in the classroom and used bad grammar with the students. They taught my son to say 'ain't' and use other such slang. He also picked up

The people there are friendly and my son loves his classmates. The campus looks nice, but the parking situation is awful. They don't really want parent involvement, except for field trips. If you want quality education, where there is lots of learning taking place, keep looking, or know that you will have to do a lot of supplemental teaching at home. Read less

Thank You Mrs. Littel and Mrs. Martin for helping Taylor in the caring and nurturing way you did to help her excel this year. You both are amazing. Sincerely, Shawn Ishmael Read less
