Pierce Middle School

Alexander Elementary overall is a great school but not for a child with behavioral disabilities like Autism the school is not equipped to handle children with behavioral issues. I DO NOT recommend to place your child in K through 5 if they have a behavioral disability they will not give the right support or have the right foundation I also do not recommend HOST there either they cant handle children with disabilities either they will find any small thing to get your child written up to get them out of the program.

All they care about is attendance and not what the actual student needs or may be struggling with. The principal won’t even acknowledge you if you see her. Awful student pick up set up, even the walkers are left out in the Sun or rain with no covering. I do not recommend this school

Our experience at this school had been beyond negative starting from the teachers to the front office The administration here is completely incompetent and they do not treat parents with respect nor they try to help parents when they need information. The coach the music teacher the Spanish ladies that work in the office and the principal are all rude and disrespectful I am not sure how they ended up as an A school . They do not care if the students are failing they pass them and they help them pass

As a parent, I’m very disappointed with how this school has handled my child’s evaluation process. Despite early concerns being raised, doctors requests, there was a lack of urgency and follow through. They did everything last minute, which made the process stressful and left me feeling like my child’s needs were not being prioritized.Communication could also be improved, as I had to follow up myself instead of being kept informed. For families with children who need additional support, timely evaluations and clear communication are extremely important. As an elementary school this is not acceptable.

On oct 8 2025..my daughter who's in 2nd grade at tampa bay...was inappropriate touched by a classmate she told her teacher Kevin caparratto and he did nothing...I called the school the next day..no one has heard about this incident..I was outraged..I finally hear what the teacher says happened and it blew my mind..the teacher Kevin caparratto said the kid touched my daughter on accident I nearly lost my mind..this teacher a white man failed my daughter not once but twice..he failed her by not helping her when she reached out for his help..then to cover up for himself he said it was a accident..so in order for this man Kevin caparratto to say it was a accident. He had to sit and witness my child being violated in his class room..I feel as no kid is safe around Kevin caparratto..this is unbelievable but we all must remember the white man history is and has always been violating women and kids..this is a huge problem ..this teacher must be removed this is a big red flag if he can't protect our kids that means he's a danger to them

Academics is second to none.Teachers are top notch. It's a very demanding school both on students and parents alike. No nonsense ,great education. Parents are super involved.
