We've had our son at PreTech Academy since he was just 2 years old, and I can confidently say this…read moreschool has been an amazing experience for our family. He has gone through Pre-K2 all the way to VPK, and the growth we've seen is incredible. The teachers are truly nurturing, caring, and very engaging with the kids. They make learning fun while still focusing strongly on academics, which is very important to our family. My son can write his first and last name, is learning how to add and subtract, and is leaving VPK already writing words and understanding letter sounds (which is so important!). He's also doing very well with CVC words and scored highly on the Florida VPK assessments, which really shows how well they prepare the children for kindergarten. The staff in the front office are just as amazing they know not only my child's name, but also his siblings who don't even attend the school. That personal touch means so much. The director is always present, greeting families and knowing parents by name, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment. Another huge plus is how clean everything is. The school does an excellent job maintaining cleanliness, and my child rarely gets sick, which speaks volumes. Overall, the entire staff is warm, caring, and truly invested in the children. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and strong educational foundation our son has received here. Highly recommend!

Over the past few months, I've encountered repeated instances of misinformation, poor…read morecommunication, and a clear unwillingness to take responsibility for avoidable mistakes. When I addressed a billing error (which the school initially confirmed would be added to my tuition), I was sent an email falsely claiming I hadn't paid. When I questioned this, I was met with dismissiveness and conflicting information. I later confirmed -- through the parent group chat -- that I was misled about the nature of the email distribution. Instead of owning the error, the director chose to deflect. Even more concerning, Ms. Rodriguez has attempted to tell parents we are not allowed to discuss issues with the school in our WhatsApp group chat -- a platform completely unaffiliated with the school. This attempt to silence feedback only adds to the feeling that leadership is more focused on controlling perception than actually resolving concerns. After raising my concerns via email, I was also blocked from viewing the school's Instagram Stories -- a move that felt retaliatory and unprofessional. Additionally, despite respectfully requesting that all communication remain in writing, one of the school's owners refused and insisted on a phone call. When I declined for documentation purposes, I was dismissed and never contacted again. Another owner, the Principal of Pinecrest Glades Academy, never responded to my message at all. It also appears that Ms. Rodriguez may be attempting to downplay or hide issues from other families -- potentially due to the fact that her own child attends the school. This presents a troubling conflict of interest, especially when decisions and communication seem more focused on image management than transparency or child well-being. This is not the type of leadership I expect from an educational institution. Parents deserve accountability, open communication, and professionalism -- not censorship, avoidance, and retaliation. I'm sharing this review in the hope that Pre Tech Academy leadership begins to value the trust families place in them.

If I could give this school negative stars I would!!! I…read moreoriginally picked this school due to hearing great things. When my son first started it was great. He loved his teachers. Would even name his toys after them while playing at home. Morning drops off were good and he was excited to go to school. Come to follow school year we had nothing but problems. My son would cry and hold on to me for dear life in the mornings. He never wanted to go to school. Dad and I have 50/50 custody, so at first, I thought he was just having attachment issues. It broke my heart to leave him, but I had to work and trusted the school to take good care of him. I started noticing very early on that he was having behavior issues in this class. Almost everyday they told me something. They would complain about him never sitting still, not wanting to participate in activities, hitting his fellow classmates. I did my part and explained to him that we can't behave that way at school and need to be nice to his fellow classmates. There was an incident where he fell and hit his ear. They called me and told me there was a minor incident, but he is fine and not crying. His grandma picked him up from school that day, so I did not see his ear till the end of the day. His ear was extremely bruised and swollen. He wouldn't even let dad, or I touch it. When dad asked to see the video of how it happened, they claimed they do not have cameras in the class, but they literally have one right above the changing table.... They started labeling my kid as the ringleader in his class and a threat to himself and his fellow classmates. Claiming he is the ONLY one to not sit still, listen, and misbehave in a class FULL OF 2 YEAR OLDS. I'm not saying my son is perfect and is always on his best behavior, for crying out he's a two year old. But to label him as a threat? My final straw with this school was this coming Thursday when I received a long email on his behavior a WHOLE DAY later from when it took place. They stated they spoke with dad since it was his day to pick him up. The email that we were sent had things on there that weren't even discussed with dad. I decided to reply piece by piece to this email addressing each bad behavior. Most of the things they told me were behaviors he doesn't even display at home. The one that stood out to me the most was that he stuck his whole arm in the toilet!!! How was he able to go into the bathroom and do that without anyone noticing? When I addressed each thing and all my concerns in the email, the director (Jacqueline) responded, using her physiology multiplication. She basically ignored everything I said and stated that his bad behavior is going to increase due to him not being in school consistently. Mind you they sent him home every time he had a runny nose even if there were no cold symptoms, dad was not comfortable leaving him there, and he had missed more days of school with his other teacher and had no issues. She then proceeded to use the excuse that the teachers can't provide their undivided attention to him, yet again in his other class the teachers weren't able to give their undivided attention due to there being other students and he had no issues... To top it all off she disclosed confidential things that were said separately by dad and I. Almost as if she was trying to start something between us. Not once did she address my concerns on the neglect. All she addressed was how I am trying to attempt to accuse the school of targeting my son. Jacqueline states that they feel there needs to be a foundation made of trust, honest communication, and follow through between the school and the parents, but if your honest communication is not to her liking, she will kick your kid out! Dad and I did our part in talking to our son and explaining to him the behaviors he needs to display at school. And with the approach they took seemed as if we didn't. She does not work with you and your situation. We put our trust in this school every day we dropped him off. Dad has multiple videos of him being neglected and teachers complaining about the kids crying and not listening. Yet all Jacueline could say was he disrespected her teachers and herself. What a joke. To know he was not being treated the way he needed to be and to be shot down when addressing these concerns is disgusting. All she cares about is collecting the money from the parents. I have spoken with multiple people who have dealt with her, and they all have nothing nice to say. Do yourself a favor and don't put your kid in this school.

I went to this school from 1-5 grade, and honestly I blame a lot of my problems on this school. I'm…read morein 9th grade (going into 10th now), and The Biltmore School left me severely underprepared for regular school life. Yes, the small hands on approach is definitely good for children with disabilities/developmental issues, however if you take a child without these difficulties and then put them into a regular school (public schools) your kids gonna have a lot of problems. The schools probably changed since my time attending, sure, however while I was there, it was even unsafe for kids with issues. An example of this would be with my cousin who also attended at the same time as me, who was autistic and low support needs. He was a victim of bullying, which got the a point where a student broke his arm. As for me, I didn't have these sorts of issues (I have ADHD but that's never effected my learning so I don't count it) and after I left The Biltmore, I was introduced to many different learning tools such as iready, IXL, ect. However, The Biltmore never taught me how to use these programs, and the larger classes of public schools meant that my teachers rarely offered me help with using these programs, leaving me to teach myself which made me struggle at the beginning of my education in public schools. To any parents thinking of sending your children here; DO NOT. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!! As a former student, I'm begging you not to send your kids here, it was genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life.

Enrolling him here in kindergarten was one of the best decisions I could have ever made. He is included and it's evident in his friends group chat on his phone.

As a public school educator myself, I knew what resources, services, and curriculum were available to my son if he were to be enrolled in a public school. I knew it would not fit his needs. I found Great Heights at the right moment and have never looked back. The one thing that every parent I know with a special needs child looks for in a school is that the child is well taken care of and loved no matter their disability. This school meets those expectations to the fullest. Great Heights has a great academic program tailored to each individual child and a low student to teacher ratio. I have always felt comfortable sending my son there. The director, Khia Lopez, pours her heart and soul into her students and their education. I highly recommend this school!!!
