Mimi's Learning Center

Unsatisfactory. The school has resources but students do not benefit as they should

NO STARSI have lived in my home for 40 years and live a few blocks from the school. My kids went there and it was declining that far back. I thank God my kids got called to go to Nova, and they received the best education they could have possibly had at that time. At least they didn't have to go to Olsen or South Broward, which follows right along with the disturbing ways at Orangebrook. It is a shame that people in our neighborhood, who pay top dollar for their homes, including a home that just sold for 1,100,000 thousand dollars, cannot send their children to this school, because it is so bad. Reading the reviews reinforces all that I have heard. I know for a fact, 3 children who could walk a block to school, and they have to send their kids to Hollywood Hills Elementary and Stirling Elementary and Nativity, and provide their own transportation, because the education they would receive at Orangebrook would not be good.There is definitely something wrong here. And I suspect it starts at the top with the Principal. And speaking of the principal, last time we voted, they have changed my voting poll to Orangebrook. The principal came over the speaker and was very rude, and told the teachers to pay attention when it was their time to go to the cafeteria and get their classes down there on time. He was very condescending when he spoke. Why when it gets bad reviews, is not someone up top looking at this? Bad test scores and complaints.So sad, and the middle and high school is not any better. So sad these kids that have to go to these schools. This is what is happening to them?

The school is great with teaching the students and have patience with the kids ,and they handle kids with disabilities as instructed by the school policy and procedures.

My son just joined Maude Ives just two weeks ago me and my family moved here from Jacksonville everything was scary for him coming into a new school. The proceed to get him in the school he was zoned for was unbearable, front desk staff highly rude and disrespectful but I soon come to learn that I wasn’t the only one having issues with the front desk as I sat for a while and listened to other parents complain and the attitude they were showing towards the parents despicable. Also the teachers do not encourage or as the principal speaks in her message on their school page for your child to have an enjoyable educational experience which they fall very short of. A teacher has made beyond rude comments to my child and now I have to reach out to school boards at this point, may get a transfer to another school near by. I refuse to let my child endure this type of abuse from their teachers and staff!

My school experience as a student is great until I got to fourth grade I started feeling uncomfortable and not happy because people keep bullying me and calling me names and also I would hate when students would walk around the class during important class works and they would yell and scream and some of the teachers wouldn’t do anything about it but I would recommend this to parents that want their kids to learn a lesson and something but I wouldn’t recommend this to parents that don’t want their kids to get called names or Treated like trash
