This is my sons 1st full year here. It's been an amazing experience as the staff is all very loving to your kids and take care of them and the attention the staff shows is 5 star all day. This is an A rated for a reason. It is very deserving. The principle down to the teacher is totally awesome. My son has the most understanding teacher and she is very patient with him as his ADHD is bad some more than other days. A huge appreciation to Orange Grove elementary School. They are very deserving

"I am an airline pilot and I need access to major airports in order to commute to work. Both St Pete (PIE) and Tampa International (TPA) are 25 to 30 minute drives away from my beach house. My wife worked in downtown St. Pete for a while and her drive was 20-25 minutes with commuter traffic. Car insurance premiums are a little higher in Florida than other places I have lived. "
