I cannot say enough great things about Biscayne Beach Elementary and its staff, teachers, and administration. Ms. Belusic the principal goes above and beyond to be present, available, and to create a positive and enriching school environment. My daughter has special needs and has attended Biscayne Beach Elementary since she was in pre-k. She was there for 6 years. She had the most incredible loving teachers. She learned so much. She was supported and nurtured and taught at her level while also being pushed. The school offers wonderful academics and field trip experiences. Everyone is kind. The assistant principal, Dr. Morris, was exceptional, and responsive and so helpful to us in answering all questions and guiding us through all processes and transitions and IEP meetings. The teachers give their heart and souls. Ms. Cruz, Mr. Ortega, Ms. Codner, Mr. Oviedo - these teachers are top notch educators and kind people. My daughters experience was so positive and we are so grateful. The school is safe with one entrance, and the security guard - Fritz - is a kind hearted man with a huge smile on his face. The police office - G - was always there keeping us secure with a positive attitude and always happy to see my daughter. The maintenance team keeps the school beautiful, and the office staff is kind and friendly. Thank you Biscayne Beach. Thank you administration. Thank you for helping my child learn to love to learn and to value education and for keeping her safe and engaged. This school is A plus!

I would like the classes to be more interactive to motivate the students more. But I will focus on the good and I must say that with regard to bullying and other issues, many parents decided to meet with the principal and deputy principal of the school and they were very willing to listen to us and help. This improved a lot!

I just graduated from this school two days ago and I have to say it’s absolutely horrendous. This school does a really great job of clipping students wings and not allowing them to express themselves. The administration is too caught up in how much funding they get then paying attention to a student’s mental health, it’s honestly disappointing. The one highlight of this school is the amazing teachers, but other than that the place is a dump. Disgusting bathrooms, deteriorated interior, and just overall terrible people running it. The one thing that pushed me over the edge was the activities director. The day of graduation I arrived with a custom stole made by my sister with various clubs and my college I was going to. I walked in and the activities director snatched it off my shoulders and said “this comes with me”. When I asked for it back to just give to my parents she said no. I got no explanation as to why it was snatched and it baffles me because no where in the handbook was it stated a student can’t wear a stole. I arrived two days later where I was told it would be along with my diploma and instead I was told “it’s at my house”. Why is my stole in your house? And more importantly why is the inconvenience to me when you’re the person who didn’t put it in the handbook? It’s honestly just so frustrating because these people treat you like children even after you are an adult and graduated from their school. I would recommend any other school but this place, again it is a horrible place to send a student that wants to be expressive or even just themselves. I will not miss it.
