Glad to see the school now has accommodations for special needs students. However, there is favoritism, specially with the teachers whose children are students. The parents and teachers in the school are do not follow the religious or catholic faith. The school is about competition and status. Very disappointed with the administration and the language arts teacher for 8th grade is horrible with special needs students.

It’s was a very hard and cruel experience! My son was expelled after six days of Summer Camp. He was three years and half, we just moved from NY to Miami. It was a difficult transition for him so he had a regression in potty training. They didn’t try to understand the situation, they didn’t try to be patient or have empathy for him. They just expelled him after 6 days of Summer Camp! I don’t know what religion values we can recognize in this action. One of the employees told me: “you will find a place that will understand your son situation”. Definitely a school that don’t understand real values, real empathy and real love for kids! Please put in perspective if it was your son. What would you do?

The leadership of Nora Anderson is a huge detriment to the school. This used to be a very good school, it is a different school today. All the teachers are very unhappy and disgruntled.

Very poor communication. My child had a vision problem that went unnoticed by the school until. When I brought it to their attention they were unaware my child was struggling. The teacher / student ratio exceeds 1:10 as listed. Additionally, there are several students with severe behavior problems - my child has been hit, cursed at and bullied with no intervention from administration.
