Everglades Elementary School

Unfortunately, our experience with Country Isles has been disappointing. Staff interactions often feel dismissive and unprofessional, creating an environment that’s unwelcoming for both parents and students. A positive, nurturing environment is essential for children to thrive, and I hope these changes can help the school better support its students."

We really like this school in many ways. The principle is AMAZING

I’m extremely disappointed by my experience with this school. After a direct conversation about my son’s potential enrollment, I sent a thoughtful follow-up email and received no response, it has been over a month. That lack of communication is unacceptable, especially from a school that claims Christian values.My son required only one accommodation: access to a teacher or counselor when he feels anxious. He has excellent behavior and is a kind, compassionate child. After fully explaining this, we were told the school could not meet that need. It is deeply concerning that there is no counselor available, especially while there are plans to expand to a high school campus. Any school, and certainly a Christian one, should have trained counselors and support systems in place for students.As Christian parents, we are intentional about raising our son in a strong church community and equipping him spiritually. We sought a school that would partner in that, not turn him away for needing occasional guidance.Scripture calls us to “carry each other’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2), yet this experience reflected the opposite. I urge the school to seriously evaluate both its communication and its ability to support children who need care, wisdom, and guidance.

As parents, we could not be more grateful for the experience our kids had during their first year at Sagemont. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed into a caring, supportive, and loving environment that truly made all the difference for our family.We want to especially thank Mrs. Galarza, Mrs. Hartstone, Mrs. Adriana, and all the wonderful teachers who played such an important role throughout this year. Their patience, dedication, kindness, and genuine care helped our kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn every single day.What stands out the most is not only the education, but the love and attention the teachers give to every child. Children may forget certain lessons over time, but they never forget how they were made to feel, and this school has created beautiful memories that our family will always cherish.Thank you to the entire staff and Directors for all the effort, heart, and passion you put into your work every day. It truly shows, and we feel very lucky to have been part of this community.
