Oasis Middle School

I just wanted to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am for Mrs. Marello and Mrs. Kelly. They are both such a valuable part of the school, and their kindness, patience, and dedication do not go unnoticed.Mrs. Marello has created such a positive and caring environment for her students. As a parent, it means so much to know my son is with a teacher who continues to support and encourage him unconditionally, even on the occasional bad day. No child is perfect every single day, but what matters most is having a teacher who sees the good in them, helps guide them, and never gives up on them. Allen has had far more good days than bad ones this school year, and I truly believe that is because of the patience, empathy, and encouragement she gives her students daily.She teaches with understanding instead of simply punishment, and that makes such a difference in a child’s confidence and growth. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed not only academically, but emotionally as well.Mrs. Kelly in the front office is also absolutely wonderful. She is always kind, welcoming, and helpful. Having someone with such warmth and professionalism at the front office of the school creates such a positive atmosphere for both parents and students.Thank you everyone for everything you do for these children and for making families feel supported and cared for. Teachers and staff like you are truly what make a school special.

Love this school. It’s easy to get in touch with teachers, the principal knows all the kids names, friendly environment. I’ve had children at this school since 2015 and every year it seems to get even better.

The single best elementary school in all of manatee county. Principal and teachers do an INCREDIBLE job!!!

When we transfered my daughter out here to manatee County, we had a very dramatic experience. We live right by Moody elementary, so I went there first. The staff there helped me enroll my daughter in their school and helped me contact her old school for all her documents. We showed up for open house and was told she wasnt enrolled there. The woman didnt check our address first before enrolling her, so her enrollment went to Sea Breeze instead and I was not notified. After finding all this out, the day before school started, the staff at Sea Breeze was amazing ! They allowed us to come to the school for our own private open house. To see the school and meet her teachers. The principal is amazing as well. She personally met us in the office, made sure my daughter was comfortable and excited for school. She also gave me her personal extension, so that if we needed anything, we could get a hold of her. All of the staff at Sea breeze has gone above and beyond for our family to feel safe and comfortable during this transition time for us. I could not be more impressed and pleased. Everything happens for a reason. And I believe my daughter wound up at the best school.

BCS is no longer the quaint private school it once was. A year or two ago, they hired new administration, board members and now principals, which has turned this quaint private school into a public functioning school. This has become very disappointing to most all parents, staff and kids. BCS now requires security checks which includes dog sniffing backpacks, lockers & constant drills. If you receive any type of funding or grants towards their almost $20k annual tuition, BCS will target those families either by stating you do not participate enough in church and/or your child's absences is an issue so they can terminate enrollment. Personally, I've dealt with both accusations this past year, even though my child has been attending BCS over 5 years. We've never had so many problems and issues with BCS before until their new hires joined. I truly hope and pray this new administration & members change back to how BCS once was. If not, I'm seriously considering homeschooling.

Admin is cold and uncaring…PreK teachers are downright mean and act they don’t like children. Admin pretends they care but they don’t take action to fix complaints.
