This school is great and staff member are all amazing. My kids attended from preschool to 4th grade and had a wonderful learning experience. Kids said they were happy in school and received help whenever needed. Teachers communicate really well. We had no trouble with bullying whatsoever. My children were academically thriving, received extra help when needed. I would recommend this school.

My son has been at this school since kindergarten (he is now in 3rd grade). I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. We have LOVED every teacher he’s had. Each one has been very good about knowing his strengths and weaknesses, working with him to feel confident, and has dealt with issues we’ve had in a wonderful way. The administration has been amazing. The principle is phenomenal - gives out great information, explains her reasons, is always smiling and happy to see the students each morning at the drive up line, and has done amazing with keeping the kids engaged during this crazy COVID 19 time. I am so thankful for this school and cannot wait for my next so. To start kindergarten here next year. Last plug, the specials teachers have been amazing too. My sons favorite is PE - the teacher is engaging, motivating, and fun. My son raves about him. Music and art have been wonderful as well. I also absolutely LOVE how they have added a counseling special this year to help encourage the kids to talk about their feelings particularly this year during coronavirus. This school is amazing.

Stetson Elementary School is an excellent school. SES is filled with amazing families! The parents are caring, supportive and involved. The students are awesome children who enjoy learning, at least partly because of the dedicated staff members and talented faculty. The school has been serving the community for 28 years and continues to strive to make Stetson a great place to learn and grow. Stetson is filled with heart.

My daughter was enrolled at SES for her 4th and 5th grade years. I have a younger daughter starting school next year. Based on the action (or better worded "inaction") of the school this year regarding bullying issues in the classroom and the school, I will not be enrolling my younger child in the school nor would I recommend the school to anyone. I have never been a part of a school whos upper administration lacked action and follow through when issues arose in the classroom. Their bullying program consists of drawing posters for the school and thats it. Without a more pro active bullying program, these children will suffer. ASide from the bullying issue, I never felt any connection to the school. I was a very active volunteer at my kids other school but The one time I volunteered at SES, I was approached by a staff member "telling" me that I was supposed to be using the parent work room and not the teachers lounge. She did not offer to show me where the parent room was and then walked out of the room. Needless to say, she left a bad taste in my mouth and I did not volunteer after that. Please, do your research before sending your kids here.

The staff in this school lacks communication skills. We moved from out of state and my son attended 1st grade and my experience was not positive. We will not be attending this school for his 2nd grade. Sadly to say that the PTA communicates better than the school staff.
