So the experience so far has been adequate for what you pay for which is saying something as this is a public school, so I only pay for the afterschool program. My only concern is that my son was diagnosed with ADHD and trying to get his IEP has been an absolute nightmare. For 1 year the school did not have a guidance counselor and we had started the process back at the end of 2024-2025 school year. We have just completed 2025-2026 and I'm still waiting for someone on his case to contact me to actually set up his IEP. This part is out of the school's hands but they also didn't deliver communication or the right support at the time. The communication between school and parent is not good. It not the worst but also not great. I don't know how else to describe it. Obviously, it's a government entity that is overworked and underpaid (that we know as a fact). However, the charter schools in Miami area get the part of that funding and now deliver private school results. The problem is that we need to also fund the public schools and though the teachers and principle are doing all the can, they are also at the mercy of the current administration, and budget and the results are that this school was an "A" when he started and has since dropped to a "B". And it shows....My son however likes his school and so I'm at a lost of what to do moving forward.
