Pinellas Preparatory Academy

Very disappointed in this school. there are a few teachers that are not very good at teaching and they act like children themselves. The school will penalize a child for missing school due to tragedy and devistation. The teacher my child has now doesn't teach she spends most of day chitchatting . my child is struggling with a few subjects andand I've reached out several times for materials to be sent home to help but she hasn't sent anything home or communicated anything. My child is being denied tools and materials that are desperately needed ! I've sent emails and left messages with staff members at Belcher trying to communicate that my child is struggling and trying to get the help needed and no one is responding. my child deserves much better!!! I will be reporting this school!

This school has been the cornerstone for many low income children. A lot of people special assign their children here because of the small town feel. Unfortunately the numbers are low because of our disabilities and not enough children to offset the slower learning children. It doesn’t matter now because the county is closing the school.

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

Most staff are great, the principal on the other hand is the worst principal that school has ever had. She won’t solve any bullying issues or any other issue a student has. Recently my cousin and my own sibling had gotten injured in this school and they did not want to let us review the camera footage of how they got injured saying it was due to “privacy violation”. Though the FERPA allows to. This school is alright, the principal is not. I do not recommend this school solely because if your child encounters any problems and a parent decides to confront the principal about it, she won’t help at all.

Daughter went to this school for 2 years. They only care about what their numbers look good on papers They do not care about the students well being and mental health. Their “amazing “ principle I’ve seen constantly treating parents and students like an inconvenience.

In my opinion, as a parent with an extremely ADHD preK student... this is a fantastic school. We were here for a year for work.. and do not like the area at all. We have a house in another state that we love... but don't want to go back to until she is out of this school. I get daily updates through the Class Dojo app... her teacher, Mrs. Smith, reminds me of a more lively Ms. Honey. (Matilda). The speech therapist is LOVELY and is very engaging with our little one. We have seen huge improvements in her development over the last year.When the school and teacher are the reason you stay in an apartment instead of your lovely house in Tennessee... you should know its a great school.

Our children were harmed by inadequate ESE supportFrontier Elementary failed to appropriately support my children with disabilities. Despite the school receiving sufficient and comprehensive IEP documentation, the ESE team minimized their needs, reduced services, and placed them in general education settings that were not appropriate for their disability profiles.During multiple IEP meetings, we asked what additional supports or options were available and were repeatedly told that nothing more could be offered. Access points were never discussed, and related services—particularly speech therapy—were reduced compared to what had previously been provided.This lack of appropriate placement, services, and meaningful discussion resulted in academic and emotional harm to my children. Families of students with special education needs should be aware that strong advocacy may be required to ensure their child’s needs are truly met.
