Hamptons at Boca Raton

My and my kids love the school

Three of my children have attended this school. They have received a vastly superior education to the one I got at another school locally. I can tell by the conversations they have with me about their studies and the fact that much of what I learned at university, they have learned buy 10th grade. There are a variety of ways to access college-level courses. There are some teachers who have been better than others, but there have been none whom I have any reason to think are not capable or not acceptable for any reason. We had a bad experience with one of the sports programs a few years ago. But that is far from a deal-breaker. I actually think the school dealt with the situation, but I'm not sure. My son was injured by another student on campus last year. When I talked to the school about the incident, I feel that the assistant principle handled it in the best possible way. My kids are not special-needs. They are mixed-race. I see that great-schools has this school listed as a 5 of 10 stars. I do not completely understand how that computation is calculated, but I can't imagine a public school being much better than this one. Our family being zoned for this high school has been such a tremendous advantage for my family.

The school's main strength is the amazing facilities, but do not let that amazing first impression fool you. Basically, if you care about secular education, you will be very disappointed. If your priority is religious education, you will be happy...but probably wished you sent your kids to Torah Academy.

I’ve had a very negative experience with Boca Prep and would not recommend this school to any parent. The administration and staff are extremely unprofessional. The superintendent does not take accountability when she’s wrong and chooses to ignore concerns rather than address them. Teachers have lied about students, including my own 3-year-old, which was very troubling and unacceptable.Since my son started at this school, I’ve faced constant problems. The financial department clearly cares more about collecting money than about the students. I was supposed to be reimbursed for a payment, but despite ongoing communication, they never followed through. Instead, they took the amount directly from my security deposit. When I called to discuss this, the financial department representative yelled at me and hung up on me, which was extremely unprofessional.On top of the financial issues, my son did not learn anything meaningful while attending. The quality of teaching is poor, and I was not the only parent who felt this way. Other parents expressed the same concerns about the lack of learning and the unprofessional behavior of the staff and superintendent. In fact, one superintendent left and the other was fired due to issues with students and parents.Most of us ended up moving our kids to other schools because Boca Prep was not providing the education or environment our children deserved. This school is not beneficial for children, and parents should beware before enrolling their kids here. It’s so bad the turn Google reviews off.

While I believed in this school when we started here, the administration’s unprofessional and tactless way of managing a business and even more so, families who have supported this school for years, is beyond horrendous. About 75% of the entire administration is related to the owner Jeanne. While this may seem to be comforting to know your school has a family approach and environment, it is a cold harsh awakening when your concerns and opinions with the aides, teachers, anyone become ammunition to be used against you and your family. The communication and lack of transparency is a pattern withadministration and unfortunately their only way of “dealing” with parents and families is to literally kick your child out of the school. Countless families have been kicked out. Not to mention there is a reason why the camera access is extremely limited now to a couple of hours. Parents saw with their own eyes what was happening in the classrooms and how things were being handled. I believe in Montessori but I highly recommend saving your resources, energy and well being by finding a more suited positive and educational environment.
