Nativity Elementary School

There are serious concerns regarding the school climate, staff conduct, and the handling of student and parent complaints at Hollywood Hills Elementary School. These issues have had a direct and harmful impact on my child’s emotional wellbeing and sense of safety at school. My child has experienced bullying and emotional distress that were either minimized or not appropriately addressed. In addition, my child reported overhearing deeply troubling comments made by school staff, including statements such as “I feel like I am teaching dogs” and references to 1st grade students “acting like animals.” Language of this nature is demeaning, unacceptable, and entirely inconsistent with the values and responsibilities of educators entrusted with the care of children. I am also concerned by what appears to be a pattern of dismissing or burying complaints in order to preserve the school’s public image and rating and funding, rather than transparently addressing legitimate concerns raised by families. A school’s rating should never come at the expense of children’s emotional safety, dignity, or mental health. As a result of this environment, my child has developed increased anxiety, impulsivity, and mistrust toward school staff—changes that were not present prior to these experiences. This is deeply concerning. Schools should be places where children feel supported, respected, and valued, not fearful or diminished.Parents place immense trust in public schools to care for their children, anything could happen in 6 hrs. That trust is broken when concerns are ignored and when staff demonstrate a lack of compassion and professionalism. It is not surprising that many families are choosing to withdraw their children as 6 schools are closing in Broward County and seek alternative education options when their voices go unheard.

I am so impressed with this school. Everyone works so well together. The administration is very friendly and accommodating. I am so overjoyed that I have my child enrolled at this school.

Just disappointed in the school they could do better and they need to stop comparing their kids and their problems to my kid because everyone is different WE ARE NOT THE SAME

My son had the pleasure of being a student at Sheridan Hill from first grade til he graduated 5th grade! The teachers were awesome! Mrs.Campbell (the principal) is amazing! She really loves her students. Mrs.Campbell and her assistant work really well together. I’ve witnessed them care for my son and many other students as if they were their own children. In a way, the students are theirs. Mr.Robert taught my son for two years and if I had it my way, he would move up to middle school and teach him again. The patience. The love…..the father figure & tough love. Mrs.Juste…..have you ever watched “The Magic School Bus”? She is so full of energy! She has a creative way of teaching! My son really loved her teaching,her fun energy, and the way she relates her teaching to real life. The office staff——amazing!!! They are always so lovely. Mrs.Dawn….or as we like to call her, “Pokey”! That name “Pokey” is an inside joke between my son and Mrs.Dawn.Well…… Now my daughter is in the VPK program with Mrs.Ramirez and Mrs.Smith and is showing amazing skills at just 4 years old. I get updates every week about her progress via class dojo. I honestly can’t wait to watch her grow and become as amazing as she can be with the love and support of the S.H.E. Family!Both of my children got really awesome teachers at a really awesome school! I hope this review helps any parent or guardian that has any doubt about being apart of the S.H.E family!

The teachers don't really like to teach , I feel the teachers want to be friends with the students more than teaching. The students aren't academically challenged here and the students are not very kind. They have a lot of work to do when it comes to academics and consequences with these students and teachers to be honest. They need teachers who want to actually teach.
