Indian Rocks Christian School

We moved to Seminole specifically so our child could attend Bauder Elementary, and I am so happy that we did! Bauder goes above and beyond in ensuring students’ academic success. The teachers are communicative and supportive and aren’t afraid to go the extra mile to make sure the kids achieve their full potential. My child has made wonderful friends and loves the staff and teachers! There is excellent communication from administration and leadership, and there are many engagement and enrichment activities for family and friends. I feel confident that my child is receiving the best possible education at Bauder Elementary.

Fuguitt is a great school. My children have attended the school for years. I appreciate the caring teachers and staff.

Schools amazing except the school offer screaming at me as I’m dropping off my child in the same area for the last two years as I’m getting dropped off in a uber. Very unpleasant at 830AM

I agree with the other parent's review that said Oakhurst Elementary School is a terrible place for special needs students and the principal, Mrs. Kennedy, is horrible. Oakhurst refused to provide my child with autism services even though there was a clearly written IEP. Mrs. Kennedy did not care or do anything about it when I insisted they implement the services. Mrs. Kennedy also does nothing when there are reports of bullying. Over half my child's class complained of bullying but when we tried to talk to her, she lost her temper, yelled, and threatened. She's the epitome of how a bad principal can ruin a school. A lot of us are leaving Oakhurst for safer schools that follow the law.

My student attended both general education and the gifted program in this school for a year and a half. The teachers and administration were engaged, supportive and responsive.Some of the students (probably only around 10%) have difficult home lives, are disruptive, contentious and difficult to socialise with. The teachers who are able to maintain order have enjoyable classes and it isn’t hard for kids to learn, make friends and feel safe. My student had one of these teachers and also had one (substitute) that would not or could not maintain order. This second situation was more difficult and my student did not feel safe in class. Nothing was learned that semester. This problem is compounded by lack of funding for the school. Teachers could not be found and when hired, they left to take higher paying jobs at nearby schools.Luckily, we were able to test for gifted and leave the substitute teacher and rough classmates. The gifted program has amazing teachers and very smart students. It is an overall excellent program. There isn’t much homework in the gifted program and gifted students do not mix with the general education students. If this is the kind of program you are looking for, I would recommend it. If you want your child in general education to socialise with “regular people” then any child with a reasonable public school background should be able to attend here with few problems.
