Calusa Elementary School

This is a smoke and mirrors high school. Teacher dont care and they just simply give up. Principal and teachers only put attention or help students in Honors or Cambridge and they will push you in your Senior year so the school can, again, win the most graduates award. Vollyeball team is a joke, both Junior and Varsity. They dont help with bullying whatsoever! My daughter was attacked 2 years ago by another student and the Principal did nothing just blame it on my daughter for not stopping it before it happened and then change the subject to show me my daughter grades and complained why there were low. I filed a police report and everyhting but the school police call me to see if I wanted to drop the charges because it was likely that the judge will dismiss the case. I never heard again about the incident so I believe they successfully cover it. Students are allowed to be abnoxious and disrupting classes which make it hard to learn. Thank God, my daughter is not longer in that school/ Maybe once upon a time was a good school thanks to all the money rich parents donate but that is it!

From all i heard in these review where the principals where bad and bullying. My Daughter goes to the school() from what i heard from my daughter she has been having the time of her life she alway happy to go to school, excited to see amazing greetings from teachers. The teachers deserve lots of good credit they are just so good to kids. School like omni for middle school is just a choice that can ruin your child's or childre life Verde k8 is the go to school for you kids (amazing field trip too!)

This school is amazing. The teachers and staff are very thoughtful and kind. They work really hard to ensure the students are getting the help they need and providing resources to help them from all aspects. I appreciate how in the loop they keep the parents via text and email, it really makes a difference when running on a busy schedule. They provide Family Engagement NIghts and provide a safe space for parents and teachers to stay in the loop together and answer any questions we have in regards to what's going on throughout the year. I highly recommend this school. I also appreciate that they have an officer on the grounds in the AM, PM & during events to keep the school safe. It makes a difference on our kids every day! Thank you to all the staff.

Morikami Park Elementary School isn't a bad school, but there were some weaknesses such as the staff's response to bullying and the staff taking care of us. For example, when my son was in 4th grade, he was being bullied, so he wrote about what was happening and sent it to the principal, but, they didn't do anything to stop the incident until the very last day of school, when school ended. Also, when my son went to the nurse after getting hurt, the only thing they would do was just give them an ice pack wrapped in a brown paper towel. If you're or feel sick and you go to the nurse, you'll go home. Some of the teachers are mean and get mad over students not doing their I-Ready for the week, but most of them are kind great teachers who teach reading, writing, science, and math. Some lessons are good, but half of them are stuff that we won't use in life like writing a central idea. The campus is alright but they throw great events like parties, after-school events, and others. They also have a couple of after-school activities like cheer, dance, and others. The lunch was alright according to my son but is better than the average school lunch in the U.S., so I recommend you get the menu and if they don't like it, you can pack them lunch. They also have good field trips like Animal Kingdom(4th), Washington D.C(Safety Patrol), Museums, and others. Classrooms are also great for a learning environment. The uniforms are not bad but can be very expensive and the school is kind of strict with the dress code. During the day, they have Fine Arts, which are, Spanish, Mandarin, and Innovation Lab, which are all useless. But, they also do P.E., Art, and Music. During recess, they have 2 playgrounds, 2 fields, 1 turf of fake grass, and one basketball court with a backfield, which are all good. But, in 2020, they banned soccer and football because they were "getting hurt", but that's just how those sports are played. Otherwise, it isn't a bad school, but it's better than other elementary schools in Palm Beach County.

Run the other direction from the school. The best thing we ever did was pull our kids from the school after being there for many years. It is a very rigid unhappy place. They are a marketing machine, and there are lots of smoke and mirrors. They will cater to the very top percentile of the class. Administration is extremely difficult to deal with. Their disciplinary practices are over the top end unethical in my opinion. Our lives and stress levels were all so much better after leaving this place and we are very bitter after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars there for the years of tuition. The kids would’ve been better off in public school. There are so many other better schools in the area, including Saint Andrews and North Broward Prep.
