Safety Harbor Middle School

I’m very grateful for the wonderful experience my daughter had during her two years at this school. I want to give a special thanks to the principal, Ms. Baker, and the entire staff, especially the front office team. The two teachers my daughter had—Miss Fraunhoffer in Kindergarten and Ms. Bennett in First Grade—were amazing with her. Not only did they provide a great education, but the communication between parents and teachers was excellent. My daughter loves them very much!A big thank-you to the R’Club staff as well—Ms. Lisa and all the teachers were always so kind and attentive. In the cafeteria, Ms. Barbara was incredibly special to my daughter. Shannon says she will always carry her in her little heart.She also enjoyed the many fun activities and field trips the school offered—those were some of her favorite parts. And to her art teacher, Ms. Aziz, thank you for encouraging her creativity and making her feel proud of her work.To any teacher or staff member whose name I may not have mentioned, please know that my daughter truly loved and appreciated every one of you. Thank you all for creating such a positive and loving environment.I highly recommend this school to any parent, especially those who are nervous about starting this new chapter. As a mother who was once afraid to leave her little one in such a big school, I can say from the heart—they take excellent care of the children here.

Denise Baker should be looked into. Hateful, lying, and lacks compassion. Should not be teaching the youth based on her lack of basic human decency. Huge red flag

Countryside has amazing teachers who care about your child’s learning! The school offers a wide variety of academic opportunities, including AP courses, STEM programs, and extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their interests and build valuable skills. My child was very prepared for college and the workplace thanks to all the teachers and programs at Countryside! Go cougars!

Excelente escuela para nuestros hijos, el personal es muy agradable y respetuoso el principal es como un padre con nuestros hijos El único punto débil de la escuela es la teacher Mrs Barber en verdad es una pena que existan personas como esa señora enseñando a niños vivimos una experiencia muy desagradable con dicha señora gracias a dios pudimos cambiar a mi niña de clase y todo fluyó de maravilla. Mrs Barber recuerde siempre que usted trabaja con niños no todos son iguales los hay más tranquilos que otros, mi niña es de un gran corazón pero yo sé qué es un poco intranquila pero usted como profesional debe saber lidiar con distintos comportamientos de los estudiantes y no hacer de ellos niños inseguros que pierdan el deseo de ir a la escuela por su culpa recuerde son niños y merecen el mejor de nuestro trato .

The staff really cares about my child.

This school has been run to the ground. It is very telling that in the past 4 years over 50 teachers have left. The principal has been very disrespectful to staff and faculty. It carries over to the kids. We are not sending our kid back here this year due to her unpleasant nature and lack of experience. She has such an ego she won't even quit when people have been trying to get her for for years. The diocese won't do anything either. So they're just as much to blame. The teachers in middle school are horrifying. One ela teacher in particular is a bully. He should not be teaching our youth. The technology department is terrible my child learned nothing. The teacher would just talk about himself or sit at his desk. It seems as though certain teachers are favored and the good ones leave. Our child was bullied and nothing was done. I cannot believe this school is still functioning. Not to mention the administration fell apart. Spare your child. Let them enjoy school. It's sad to watch the school we love go down. Oh and the priest needs to go too.
