I used to go here but they kicked my out for no reason and I couldn't say bye to my friends and classmates. This was 3 years ago. And kids threw chairs sometimes when they got mad.
Posted by a community member on 4/18/20239/10 Sikes is a great school. The ESE pre-K is a great program and Miss Minter is awesome! The staff is always welcoming & smiling anytime I am there.
Posted by a parent on 3/22/2020This school is terrible. The office staff are unfriendly. The principal is the worst, she is condescending in her attitude. We had several issues with a kindergarten teacher and second grade teacher. Spoke with the asst. principal she is the only nice person in the whole school. Apparently it is ok
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2017Both my children started attending this school 2 years ago after having an awful experience at another school in Brandon. They love it and the teachers have been great. Never any issues with bullying or work. The office staff is pleasant and helpful. It a great school and the teacher s are wonderful
Posted by a parent on 7/8/2013My Daughter attended Sikes Elementary from Fall 2011 until Fall 2012. We moved out of state just after the start of her 1st grade year. We had a horrible experience at this school. Her kindergarten teacher was cold and yelled a lot. She also said things to the children that were untrue or told stori

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI do not know where to begin with all of the things I feel that are wrong with this school. My granddaughter tells me that in certain classes she is always getting made fun of and bullied. She has told the teacher and nothing is done. My grandson, who is in third grade, can't recite the months of the year, use proper tense in sentencing, or even spell second grade words. I do not know what they are being taught at schools now but it sure isn't anything that is actually needed in to survive adulthood.He needs to be held back but knowing the school system I wouldn't be surprised if he promoted to 4th grade. It seems to me like dumbing up these kids is their job now.Parent Review3y ago - R. Bruce Wagner Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's a good school, how ever the school principal is rude and has favoritism of who he allows to do what they want at the school. He has had multiple incounters with me and when he has an issue with me he know who I am and my kids, but when I disagree with him and challenge his "policies" I'm a complete stranger and has a rude remark to make.Parent Review1y ago - Brilliant Minds Early Learning Academy
