Royal Palm Academy

We have no clue what's going on. Our kid is Failing. It's all smiles.nobody cares.

As the year wraps up, I look back on my experience with Veterans Memorial Elementary (VME) and wish we had started here sooner! My son is in 5th grade, and this was his first year at the school. From day one, the staff and students made him feel right at home. The sense of community is incredible; the kids are so welcoming that he never felt like the 'new kid.'We’ve seen a complete turnaround in his emotional health and confidence. Beyond that, the communication from the staff is excellent—they truly partner with parents. Most importantly, his test scores have improved significantly because he finally feels supported and motivated. We couldn't be happier with our decision to join the VME family!

ENCA has bee great for all of my children. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My children have done both VPK and wrap around care for several years now and I love the school. The instructors are always communicative and helpful if I have questions or concerns. The leadership staff has always been open and willing to help with any questions or concerns I have. I would recommend this school to anyone!

The school does not value academic success. They are way too easy on the students, especially in middle school. They have a no homework policy which harms the students and prevents them from learning. The academic rigor and encouragement to push students to work and learn is not there. A majority of the students do not value hard work or education. I would send your child elsewhere, especially for middle school. There a few teachers who are really good and value learning and want to teach students how to work and learn, but the administration does not seem to value that. Also, the field trips are very expensive. They cater to a certain crowd.

We felt unfairly "pushed out" of this school. Called very early in the year for vpk. 6 months in advance and was told to early. Called again at 3 months early same response. I expressed my concerns for him getting in on time. Was reassured It was to early and to call back. Finally calling a month in advance I was told someone would call me back.. Never got a call. I called again was told there were no more spots available. !!?

Our family has been part of the Waves of Wonder Montessori community for several years, and we have truly enjoyed watching the school grow. This past year came with unexpected challenges, including lead teacher changes right before the school year started, but we saw the administration and staff step up and work hard to adapt and continue providing a great experience for the students.Some projects and programs looked different this year, but change is not always a bad thing. New ideas brought in and a continued effort to make things better for the children.What stands out most is the care the teachers have for their students. Our child has grown in confidence, independence, and love for learning. We feel like our child is ready to take on further challenges and have learned new skills to adapt and be flexible.
