Millennia Gardens Elementary

Unorganized, lack of discipline and consequences for poor behavior, all-around struggle for the people in charge and huge lack of support. Teachers are really good and some truly care about the kids. School is not as clean as it should be. Many pros, so many cons.

The office never answers the phone or calls you back after leaving messages. No one is prepared when you ask them to do something. The only thing they can tell you is they’re on vacation. And they don’t have no one doing the job when they are out. The principal don’t do anything. They lost my kid and didn’t know where he was. Would not even pay for my child to continue to go to this school here.

During the 2025–2026 school year, both of my sons attended this school for kindergarten and first grade. Unfortunately, our experience has not been positive.As an African-American family with children who are not bilingual, we encountered ongoing challenges. Communication was often difficult, as many staff members primarily spoke Spanish, which created barriers in both understanding and supporting my children’s learning.Throughout the year, I made consistent efforts to stay involved, but I struggled to have clear and respectful communication with staff and teachers. This made it harder to effectively advocate for my children and ensure they were receiving the support they needed.Because of these experiences, I will be withdrawing my children at the end of the school year. I would encourage other parents who are highly involved in their child’s education to carefully consider whether this school will meet their needs

Palmetto pushes for students to perform to their academic best. I like the before and after school clubs for my children. Palmetto is filled with great teachers.

I do not recommend this school. I have serious safety concerns, including biting incidents and frequent bullying. When serious incidents are reported to the principals, no action is taken. The overall student behavior is poor, with frequent use of inappropriate language, and I worry about the negative influence on children’s academic progress and confidence.
