Billy Earl Dade Middle School

Past two school years have been good with the teachers. Still disorganized when it comes to functions involving parents. Picking up children after school has improved somewhat. Some school policies have you shaking your head! I still have not received an answer as to why children cannot wear blue shirt with blue pants! And only red shirt on Monday's! I am just curious as to why!

Not good I give it a 1 out of 10. This school use to be way better.

I use to love this school for my children before COVID became a thing, but now Charles Rice has fallen under the radar. The kids dont learn on the levels that they should. They are given homework assignments that are not taught in the classroom, and the teachers are all about "gossip and a paycheck" rather than helping the children academically! This will be the last year that my children attend this school, and this WILL NOT be a recommendation of mine.

I want my children to attend a school with other black children where joy, love of learning, academic success, and social-emotional well-being are the norm. There is a myth that this kind of learning environment can only exist in majority white spaces, and that space dominated by children of color can only be dysfunctional. St. Philip’s disproves this myth on every front. My daughter is loved, cherished, and seen as the beautiful black child that she is, not is spite of it. Class sizes are small which results in children receiving a lot of individual attention. My daughter finished kindergarten reading at an advanced first grade level. She was also able to participate in a host of activities because St. Philip’s offers more enrichment and athletic opportunities than one child can possibly take advantage of. No school is perfect, but where it counts the most, St. Philip’s hits the mark. Your child’s mind, spirit, and heart will be in great hands at St. Philip’s.
