My twin girls attended Water's Edge in the gifted program starting from kindergarten. They loved coming to school everyday and the teachers, staff and aftercare counselors at the school. They also went to summer camp there for 4 years and participated in various clubs offered like STEM and gardening.Don't believe these negative reviews as this school successfully prepared them both socially and academically. Both twins were straight A students at Don Estridge High Tech Middle School and got accepted to FAU HS. Moving to Boca Falls from Chicago and enrolling them here was one of the best decision we ever made. They've made life long friends of diverse background and ethnicity, from different walks of life, with grounded upbringings.Parents need to be involved and kids need to put in the efforts.. this school provides top-rated education, a fun environment to learn and student development... By the way, kids will be measured on test scores the rest of their academic career so I would not enroll them in any school that doesn't help them be comfortable taking tests. No, they don't just teach FSA material...ridiculous!!!!

It's a good school overall with a number of dedicated staff members. The music and art programs are great and the number of after school clubs offered by the staff is amazing. However, I believe there is a disproportionate focus on the FSA. Even though this is a STEAM school which means that there is one extra special, science in the classroom is quite lacking until 5th grade when there is a science FSA. The amount of homework you get will be all over the place depending on the teacher. We'll have to wait and see how the new leadership impacts this school.

Terrible experience. Moved from out of state expecting this to be an "A" rated school. The gifted program is adequate at best. Overabundance and reliance on standardized testing as a means to educate. Rampant bullying and students are disrespectful. Not a good enviroment at all. Check another school out before sending your kids here - lots of these "5" star reviews are inflated and manipulated by the faculty for perception.
