We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Mitchell Elementary School! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt the warmth, care, and commitment of the staff and teachers. The school has created such a nurturing environment where children are not only encouraged to learn, but to thri
Posted by a parent on 4/25/2025Mitchell is such a special place! Adults care, students thrive. It's a home away from home.
Posted by a teacher on 4/25/2025My kids both went to Mitchell for the majority of elementary school. It’s a beautiful school and most of the teachers are wonderful. Administration is snobby though in our experience and very partial to the families with the most $$$ to donate to fundraisers. So sadly, the culture is very exclusive
Posted by a parent on 9/4/2024My grandchild came home from Mitchell Elementary yesterday with a photocopied rejection letter. This is how he found out that he was not given any of the fifth grade jobs he had applied for. I have seen plenty of things in my lifetime—but a rejection letter from a school to a ten year old I never ex
Posted by a parent on 9/14/2021My daughter only went here for fifth grade, but had a wonderful experience. Her teachers were excellent, so caring. Her test scores improved tremendously. There is a lot of love and kindness from everyone. My only regret is that I didn’t have her for more than the one year!

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were lucky enough to send our son to Grady for all 6 years, but we moved away after our daughter finished 1st grade and she has had a couple of years at a new school for comparison. That comparison really emphasizes how fortunate we were at Grady; the new school is solid, but Grady was exceptional. Grady has plenty of advantages in terms of resources, but the school is also a tightly-knit community and we felt a lot of love and support from everyone while we were there.- The school is relatively small, with small grade and class sizes so that students and families get to know each other.- Both principals we worked with were wonderful at their job and they set the tone for an administration that was friendly and superbly organized. Little things like the parental drop off and pickup process seemed to proceed like clockwork with no wasted moments.- The teachers were all above average or even better and the kids learned a lot. Test scores are some of the best in the state, with very few stragglers. We were amazed by how much they asked of the students (e.g. 4th graders learning an 11-sentence paragraph structure for their writing assessment), but they worked nonstop on what they had identified as important and got the kids to absorb it and practice it.- The specialists are phenomenal and did so much to execute an individual education plan for us. They were proactive in meeting with us to report and plan, they brought in multiple people to help, they listened to our input, and they had worked together for years.- The PTA did a superb job of communicating and planning. Some of the families at surrounding schools in South Tampa seemed a little status-conscious, but I thought families were a little more relaxed and accepting at Grady.We would 100% recommend Grady to any parent considering it. It's an amazing school and we still miss it on a regular basis.Parent Review1y ago - West Tampa Elementary School
