Pines Middle School

My child is in 1st grade. We were going to move to Cooper City for “better schools” we changed our mind and have decided to stay in the area. I have never seen so much engagement with the students. The teachers are the best. The Principal Mrs, Familia and the Assistant Principal Mrs. Gonzales are hands on. They are at dismissal everyday. They are fully available and engaged with the families. It’s a melting pot of cultures. Everyone feels welcome no matter where you come from. I Love being a Bob Cat mom. I’m excited for what the future holds for our students.

This is my son's first year at Pasadena Lakes. I wish I knew last school year that they offer VPK because he would have certainly been in attendance. My sons teacher is very hands on. The Principles are very hands on a well and they know each child independently. That alone speaks volumes!If you're looking for a great school, look no further.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This school taught me more about favoritism, poor communication, and unprofessionalism than it ever did about actual education. The way certain staff members treat students is honestly embarrassing — unless you’re a teacher’s favorite, don’t expect support, fairness, or even basic respect.They care more about their image than the students who actually walk through the doors every day. Mental health? Ignored. Concerns? Brushed off. And if you ever dare to speak up — suddenly you’re the problem.I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Do better.This school is completely unacceptable. My neighbor’s child, who is in special education, came home with a large bruise on his back — and no one gave any answers. That should NEVER happen under any school’s care. If they can’t protect their most vulnerable students, they don’t deserve to be trusted. Shameful

My son attended Tanglewood since he was an infant in 2017 and still attends in aftercare. He has consistently loved Tanglewood and to this day, never wants to go home when I pick him up. Most of the staff have been at the school since he started. If you're looking for low child to teacher ratios and a family-like environment, this is the school! Highly recommend!
