Schmidt Elementary School

A runny nose is a bigger concern to the school than educating your child. If your child has the sniffles, a runny nose, or "red watery eyes" during allergy season, be prepared to leave work early in order to pick them up. And while you're on your way to get them, the staff will tell your child that you're a bad person/parent and endangered everyone by sending them to school with mild allergy symptoms.When we first moved into the area the school was 9/10. Now it's a 5/10. A few more years and it will be a 1 or a 2. Either stay away or get your kids allergy shots so they can stay at school and actually learn some things.

I did school choice for this school.....I'm glad we did. I like the school but the teachers I have came in contact with for my son has been "AWESOME". He is entering the 4th grade and I can't wait to see what this teacher has in store for my son and his parents.

I sincerely and highly appreciate the teachers who have worked hard to help my child, but feel the overall policies at the school don’t address the special needs of high functioning autism. It’s like he falls through the cracks because he’s “too normal” for special needs classes, but “too different” for general Ed classes, and it’s frustrating.

I am quite satisfied and very glad with the progress of my granddaughter. The teachers at Harvest are well qualified and they actually offer personalized support to every single kid. I'm so thankful that my granddaughter is getting a good education in every single aspect. Thank you to all the personnel for always go above and beyond for the success of our kids.

First and foremost Brandon Academy is a school. What it is not is a daycare, a social experiment, or a private hangout. What they offer is pure learning. Their rules are clearly laid out and any personal issues that arise are almost always from the parents. Dress code is gender neutral meaning all kids pretty much wear the same basic uniforms. The idea is that nothing is distracting from learning. If your kid could be viewed as a distraction, look so where else.In terms of ideology BA doesn't put social influence on learning. They teach in ways which I learned 30 years ago which is to the point without filler. They focus on all children knowing rather than memorization skills.On top of all this, the school is one of the most ethically diverse businesses I have ever seen. This makes BA a true leader and a place worth enrolling your child!!!
