Blake High School

My daughter attended B.C Graham for 3rd grade. It has been the first school in which she has been able to show her true potential, she has grown tremendously academically. She has had a magnificent teacher who helped her along the year non stop, and was in constant communication with me with regards to my daughter. The staff is constantly attentive and very involved. Any issue I did have was taken care off immediately. I'm quite sad that I have to switch schools for the upcoming year.

THIS SCHOOL DISCRIMINATES! DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KID FOR ANY REASON! THEY ARE SUPER UNORGANIZED, HAVE NO STRUCTURE AND BREAK THE LAW! PARENTS SIGN DOCUMENTS TO EITHER ALLOW OR NOT ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO BE POSTED ON BULLETIN BOARDS, SOCIAL MEDIA OR PUBLIC PLATFORMS. EVEN IF YOU OPT OUT THEY WILL STILL POST YOUR KIDS! WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. WHAT'S WORSE? IS THAT WHEN YOU APPROACH THE PRINCIPAL SHE WANTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. MY GOD DAUGHTER GOES TO THIS SCHOOL AND MY SISTER SIGNED DOCUMENTS TO NOT POST HER UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES. THEN THE SCHOOL NOT ONLY POSTS HER BUT POSTS HER UNDER AN AUTISM AD !!!!!!!! THE PICTURE OF MY GOD DAUGHTER WAS NEVER AUTHORIZED TO BE POSTED. WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN WORSE IS THAT THE PARENT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS. ANOTHER STUDENT HAD TO BRING IT UP TO THE PARENT. WHEN SHE GETS TO THE SCHOOL THE PRINCIPAL WANTED TO ACT LIKE IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL AND THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER AND ALSO LAUGHED IN MY SISTERS FACE! THIS WILL NOT STAY THIS WAY. WE ARE CALLING A LAWYER THE NEWS AND WILL REPORT THIS SCHOOL UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE! THIS ISN'T THE 1ST ISSUE WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS PRINCIPAL EITHER. 1ST PROBLEM WAS WHEN MY GOD DAUGHTER GOT ON THE WRONG BUS AND IF IT WASN'T FOR ANOTHER STUDENT WHO KNEW HER AND GUIDED HER SHE WOULD'VE WENT HOME IN THE WRONG BUS... WITH ALL THE KID TRAFFICKING THAT'S GOING ON WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE ON TOP OF ALL YOUR STUDENTS ON RELEASE? THEN TO ACT LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL AND LAUGH IT OFF ! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

I am not only a parent, but also an alumni of this school. It is a huge 10/10 for me. It taught me many things including respect, discipline, time management, etc. I attribute my success to Villa! My child is supported and truly loved there. They are fair, organized, and push kids to unlock their highest potential. It is truly a Salesian environment!

Tampa Adventist Academy is wonderful school where the love of Christ can be seen throughout. From the front office staff, to the teachers, to the maintenance workers and aftercare providers an exceptional, high level of Christian compassion for the students is displayed. I have worked at this school for several years as a volunteer and am continually delighted by the quality of the staff, families and students. The students are respectful, appreciative and polite. The families are committed and supportive. The staff excels as dedicated, caring professionals. The absent "fifth star" in my rating is only because of the aging facility. This challenge is not being handled lightly, as great plans for the continuance of this school in a new facility are currently being prayed over and planned for. As of 2014 this school has operated continuously for 97 years in six different Tampa locations. God has greatly blessed the Christian families of the Tampa Bay Area with this wonderful school that provides a quality educational experience.
