Mi hijo estudió 2 años en esta maravillosa escuela, me encanto. Los profesores son lo máximo, todos son muy amables, alegres y siempre en disposición de ayudar a todos. AME este colegio!

Excellent staff and teachers, well led by Dr. Mulholland. Exceptional teaching, makes kids inquisitive and get hands on experience. Magnet school with great space and robotics program and clubs. They make learning fun!! Kids love it

My daughter attended for one year. It’s okay; safe and adequate. There were some things I did not like. There were several instances that a substitute teacher told a kid to “shut up”. I reached out to Principal Windish by email 3 times and never was responded to by him. After the 3rd email, someone I cc’d had replied and said the teacher apologized to the students, but my daughter said that didn’t happen. It didn’t appear to be a big deal to them. Pros, the front desk staff is so kind. The teacher my daughter had was kind. No school projects or events or family participation for the whole year though. There was one field trip but we were told about it the morning of, no info sent home ahead of time, so she didn’t go. Overall it was adequate, no big issues. The staff that handle carline do an incredible job! It was very efficient and quick.

Would not recommend, and the reason comes down to accountability.I asked both the principal, Ms Sharpe, and the school district to tell me exactly what interventions my daughter received: who helped her, how often, and what the plan was. To this day I have never gotten that information. I believe that is because it does not exist.Here is what her kindergarten year looked like. Papers came home sporadically, sometimes once a month, sometimes whenever the teacher felt like it. When they did come, it was a stack of 30s, 40s and 50s with no note, no phone call, no explanation. Just a smiley face in the agenda book every single day. My daughter told me she often did not understand the work and could not finish it. She said sometimes she got help and sometimes she did not. Either way the papers came back marked F instead of anyone stopping to ask why a five year old was failing.I requested a meeting early in the year because I could already see she was struggling. I was told not to worry, that it was still early. Nothing changed after that meeting. I kept advocating for a paraprofessional and as far as I know she never received one. All I ever got was "she is receiving extra help."Since leaving, I have heard from other parents who say their children's IEPs are not being followed either. That tells me what happened to us was not a one time breakdown. It is a pattern.I waited a full year to write this so I could compare Bentley to her new school. The difference is night and day. That comparison is what convinced me this is not normal. The communication at her new school is awesome, my daughter has expressed to me that she loves her new teacher she said "she smiles all the time and is always happy to see me" we no longer deal with morning melt downs and refusing to go to school. When they notice that she is having difficulties they reach out to me first. Not me having to chase down meetings with the teacher and most of all they show us RESPECT as parents. Bentley has the potential to be a great school. The teachers are working inside a system, and the system starts at the top. Right now the leadership is simply not there.

I recently had the displeasure in the application process at LMP. They asked my child to come in for a shadow day. They evaluated him as someone who is not interested in learning. Is this possible from a shadow day???? Perhaps the teacher was not that interesting to listen to, or engaging? I tried to contact the school to discuss this further, still waiting for response. LMP was not a first choice school for our family. There are better choices in the Orlando area.

It is unfortunate for me to write this review but putting my child in a private program. I never expected the amount of unprofessionalism that I have experienced from this school. I'm disappointed to admit that the staff that cared For my children last year had left them clearly understanding the difference between a facility that provides poor education, and good education. This one being extremely poor. Putting my children at this school had risked their academic development. The behavior from other children that was allowed to continue influencing the other student wasn't acceptable and beyond what I am able to write here. Vulgarity from both students and teachers...which the teachers are lucky that is they did not threaten my child's future wellbeing with other private schools I would have raised hell sooner but the priority was, leaving peacefully. They restricted my kids to not bringing lunch despite my children not being able to bear quality of the food they would serve leaving them malnourished often. Do not waste money applying. Or time. The future of your child will be negatively impacted committing them to this program.

Back in 2018 for Pre-K , I enrolled my most precious joy into All Souls Catholic school because after doing intensive research I felt this was the school that would be the best fit for our family due to its small size (at the time)However, this school went from having 8-13 students per class to overfilling classrooms with over 25+ students in one class. This is more than even public schools have in their classrooms. You are paying private school tuition to have your kids cramped in a small classroom with ONE TEACHER. The 1 to 27 ratio is outrageous.At what point would this school decide that no other students would fit. This school now has more students in one classroom then public schools do.I would like to know what our average class size at All Souls is and is there a class size limit today? I have contacted other private schools in the area to understand what the norm is, with those schools currently having average class sizes of about 12-15 students. My child's class now has 27 students!!!
