Prestige Plan in Greyhawk Landing by DiVosta
Lake Worth, FL 33467

I was a sixth grader during the 2022-2023 school year here at Woodlands Middle School, and I just moved to Florida during this time. This school absolutely traumatized me, and pushed a heavy amount of stress on me. Teachers did not like their jobs, students were bad behaving or were mean, and overall it was very unenjoyable. I barely learned anything, and if you think you would have peace at lunch, you would be wrong. Staff constantly would yell in their microphones and give us these "life lessons" if we were loud... (Mind you there were 100+ students in there). Also, they throw kids in these advanced courses without even testing them, putting stress on them. I would try to convince my mom to let me stay home. If you're reading this, please spend a little extra time into getting your child into a new school nearby, or else it will ruin your child's view on middle school like what it did to me. Hopefully this school changed past these 2 years.

I am extremely disappointed as I had high hopes for my granddaughter to start kindergarten here. What should have been an exciting start of school for a kindergartener has turned into a nightmare for my granddaughter and my daughter as her mother. My 5 yr old granddaughter has been traumatized and full of anxiety since the start of the school year and it is only September. She does not want to go to school and I feel horrible every minute she is there. Her teacher acts like she is in military school, the nurse's behavior is atrocious and my 5 yr old granddaughter is terrified to ever have to go to the nurse again. The lack of compassion, patience and kindness from these educators is very apparent. These people have no business in an elementary school and definitely no business around 5 yr old children starting their very first year of school. As someone who has been an educator and part of the public school systems for over 35 yrs also having raised children of my own, I am disgusted and appalled at the way these educators have been allowed to get away with such behavior. Either there is ignorance or lack of research in teaching methods or how to treat a sick 5 yrs old child. Don't be afraid to be your child's advocate 1st and foremost and don't allow yourself or your child be bullied. Stand up for what is right. I am taking this to the superintendent's office. This is not acceptable.

My daughter made a big progress after moving fromBoca. I love the attention of the teachers that they give to students. It is great to have new and clean classrooms and school. I strongly recommend this as a former teacher.
