Seminole Elementary School

Great place. Staff is welcoming. Teachers truly care about students. Small school so it has a family vibe, which is awesome.

First day here dropping off my toddlers, as a mother ofcourse sobbing in the car line and as I drove past certain teachers I began to apologize for moving so slow and out of no where I hear a shout angrily tone scream back from a teacher (well sorry ain’t gonna cut it). What was a good moment went to the ruts.Another time we had a traumatic incident happen in the school with my nonverbal 3yr old. Took 3wks to get a meeting with principal. Had to deal with staff dismissing important details about situation and staff lying about certain behavior and knowing school policy. Terrible communication and zero care for a child with special needs. Had to move schools to get a better outcome. I would NOT recommend this school.

I really hate this school. I don't feel as my child is learning properly and the teachers act as if they care about the grade and not their learning. It really sucks to know that my child is not getting what she needs.

I am a former student. Things could’ve definitely improved since my time there. But, I went here as a child around year 2003-2005. The children were gross and horrible along with the staff who thought it was helpful to publicly paddle the children for situations that were not that serious, such as not being able to sit still, or in my case talking to another student. They took children to the park and left us unattended which allowed for me to be push by other children from a jungle gym resulting in a black eye. They would also force us to be outside and play in scorching heat resulting in my hand being burned raw from a 200 degree monkey bar. After these injuries they also decided to not inform my mother who had to come pick me up clueless as to what happened to me. The teacher would also show blatant favoritism to her own daughter (named julissa) who happened to be in my class, and she would do half the things other students did without consequences. Hopefully they changed that entire god awful staff. They had absolutely no patience for children and should’ve chosen a different profession.

I can certainly Echo the sediment of many of the recent reviews for tbca. My grandson went there for three and a half years and as some other reviewers have stated if he was not absolutely perfect he was written up and hassled by the staff. He was actually written up for bumping into other students in a line?? He's in third grade. The schools existence is off of the Step Up scholarship . 100% of the students receive this benefit. To say the staff teachers administrators are lacking professionalism and more than likely the proper credentials to run a school is painfully obvious. They're money-grubbing off the states generosity. They attempted to open a second campus only to fail miserably and concede that they would not be able to branch out more than likely it was from the lack of professionalism and organization that the school exhibits daily.For three and a half years we trusted that the school was doing right for our grandchild, we were wrong. They failed him as they are failing many of the children at the school. I hear from other parents a mass exodus is on the horizon, which is totally understandable. Tbca is not an ideal candidate for your child's education. There are better options in the Tampa Bay area with serious trained professionals unlike the unprofessional hacks at tbca. They hide behind Christian values but do not operate the school or the teaching of the children with those in mind.

this is my favorite school because teachers are so respectful and my experience in this school was so good
