My son had a bad experience in this school. He is in 6th grade and he got bullied at this school. 3 kids with a ski mask pulled him in the bathroom, punched his head and his face. My son is traumatized from this school. Principal did his best, but no one identifies who hurt my kid. And now he is suffering from trauma and anxiety. Teachers are helpful but one of them did not even consider what my son is going through and gave him an F. She gave A on his progress report then gave him an F at the end of the quarter. And by the way, she only responded once after a week. Most of the teachers are very helpful, especially Mr G, Swenson and Falco. They dont know what my son is going through.I chose this school as school choice, coz i thought that this school is great and safe. But this is not a safety school to go. So frustrating that my son is still suffering from this.

As a graduate of Bloomingdale, who attended all four years of high school here I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great education for their children without the private school cost. I would say 90% of the teachers here were above average in their teaching skills. When one attends Bloomingdale high school and puts in the required effort they will be prepared for what comes post graduation. I will always consider this school a much better place to attend than nearby Newsome and without a doubt far above Durant. Durant speaks for itself in terms of poor education and Newsome may be higher rated than Bloomingdale but your child will be going to a school to be surronded by arrogant peers from lower middle and middle class families who think they are all upper class yet none have even heard of Boca Raton let alone visted it and attended school there. Go figure.

My experience is that I went because of the stars and comments that this school was excellent and that they really care that the students understand and rise to the next level.First the school has the Esol program but from time to time I asked for it for 1 year since the primary language is Spanish and the help came in January of the 4th grade.Second, my son was teased and the teachers didn't take it into account until he talked to the assistant principal. I believe that bullying is not taken into account.Third, they say that teachers are trained to help children whose language is Spanish. The 4th grade teacher did not help my son at all. They said that he had a condition of non-comprehension. They didn't help him at all, they only care about those who do speak English and get good grades on the state exams.Fourth, I must thank the administration secretary, who is very attentive to teacher Murray, who helped me in 3rd grade and who knew what the language problem was, and to the psychologist, her attention was excellent.My advice is that if your child speaks Spanish, scare your child where they have the Esol program every day so that they really learn and the same thing that happened to my son does not happen to them.I took him out this year because I think he didn't get help from the 4th grade teachers.
