Things have probably changed since I went to Colbert (2018-2021, 3rd through 5th grade), but my experience was great. The school was really focused on STEM (as a STEM school should be) and had great programs. I was lucky enough to be part of the debate and robotics teams, both of which were amazing. There was even a Minecraft club at one point (during virtual learning). Speaking of which, they handled virtual learning perfectly with Teams, Zoom, and online learning tools. There are some fights, yes, but that's to be expected with any Broward School (speaking from someone who's been in the Broward school system for around 7 or 8 years now), and the teachers handle them calmly. They have several fun family events (my absolute favorite being EIE, the engineering and science projects they do each quarter, then present in a convention of sorts) The campus is beautiful and clean. All in all, 5 stars.

AVOID! I cant name you a school worse than this one. Avoid this school if you have to. I saw 2 kids hitting each other on their head when I was walking to pick up my daughter and nobody was watching them. They were just sitting with all the other kids, I had to tell the closest supervisor there what was happening and she did nothing, as if that's the norm. If they let it happen to those kids, they'd let it happen to my daughter too. I also went to the office the next day to do something and I told the lady in the front, and again, as if its something normal. She just stayed quiet. You can tell nobody cares. My daughter has been to good schools before this and she's always loved school. Now she tells me everyday to change her to a different school (and its only been 4 days since school started). She told me her teacher told her she failed a test on the fourth day of school. They are not supportive at all. I would give this school a zero if I could.

I was intimidated at first because this is a "D" rated school....I decided to give it a chance anyway and it was the best decision ever. The teachers go the extra mile for the kids....the counselors are always available and understanding. My son who is in 4th grade is a special needs student and he loves it there, he does not feel "different" and even wakes himself up to go to school! I say parents...don't let your decisions be guided by the grade the school has...give it a try...you will not regret it!
