Whispering Pines 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!

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 administration has no concept of how to manage the car line for starts and their communication with parents is beyond poor. Example: Not one substantive email over the entire Summer regarding the upcoming school year and not until a week before school starts do I have to call and find out that teachers will not be assigned until thursday prior to the Monday first day of school and parents are expected to rush in that friday between 9-11 to meet their childs teacher. Nice planning. I guess they were too busy vacationing the past 3-months to bother with any semblance of preparation for the new school year. After last year's incompetence, perhaps it's no surprise.

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.

Went here for high school. Full of snotty rich kids who are image-obsessed. Teachers are pretty okay. If a student is struggling for whatever reason, there is little to no help provided (Which is crazy considering how expensive tuition is!). Also, barely any diversity. Do not recommend.
