Citrus Grove Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: teacher Quality Score: decline 2006-06-02 “From first hand knowledge in working at this school, I can honestly say this has got to be the worst school in Miami, Florida. I highly recommend all parents to do something about the safety, discipline and classroom morale in this school. Students are allowed to roam the hallways and school office without being asked where they should be. The principal is never around to tend to your needs, and, it is sad to say, that she has an 'ego' problem. Thirty teachers left in this school in a matter of 10 months.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-03-30 “My child had so much preparation for the FCAT test. It was almost too much with nothing else taught. Parents are hesitant to be involved because they all work. New principal is impossible to meet with because she is always gone. Assistnat principels seems to be good. My child is in the 5th gifted program and I am very happy. But I will be glad to move on to another school in the fall.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2005-01-21 “It needs to have more involvement from the teachers to the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-11-24 “I believe that the school has no disciplne at all. In the morning children are without any supervision, left to play at their own risk. Also, everytime you try to meet with the Principal or assit they are nowhere to be found or unavailable.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-07-25 “This school has had 35-38 Kindergarten/and First grade students per class and no full time aides. How can one teacher teach 38 kids who are all five years old? How can we expect anything good to come out of a school that doesn't care about class size and therefore student learning. This is unacceptable! This school has a lot of potential but needs an administration that really cares about the kids it is soppose to be serving. The classes are not only overcrowded but dirty, with holes on the ceiling, doors that do not open/close,poor classroom lighting, walkways that flood with dirt everytime it rains and no one has access to the building, and a very dirty cafeteria.Pick-up/dismissal is a joke. More real security is needed. Overall, the school needs desperate attention. The children, teachers, and staff work under very poor working conditions.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-10-14 “Me parece muy buena escuela y sobre todo los maestros estan teniendo mucha paciencia en el caso de kindergarten . Quiero agradecer especialmente a Ms.Garcia y Ms.Morsuli por ser tan buenas maestras y por tenerles paciencia a los ninos. Mi hijo ha aprendido en muy poco tiempo muy bien las cosas y eso es motivo de reconocimiento. Tambien la escuela cuenta con un director muy bueno, con buenos metodos ,un principal asi hace falta en muchas escuelas . En mi opinon esa escuela ha mejorado 100% de como era antes.los felicito! 'This seems like a very good school and above all the kindergarten teachers have demonstrated a lot of patience. I especially want to express my appreciation for Ms. Garcia and Ms. Morsuli for being such good teachers and for being so patient with the children. In a very short amount of time my son has been learning things very well and that is worthy of recognition. Also, the school has a great principal, with very good practices, and a principal like that is lacking in many schools. In my opinion this school has improved 100% from before so congratulations!'” Posted By: Quality Score: 3 2003-05-20 “Citrus Grove Elementary school needs more qualify, professional and responsible personnel that care about the future of the student. My nephew fail 3rd grade because there wasn t any tutorial offer to him for the FCAT test.”
