My children have also gone to another "A" school in Westchase and this one might be slightly better, but not by much. All the schools in this area are great schools. AR (Accelerated Reading) testing is encouraged at this school, so my kids do a lot of reading and visits to the library. The AGP program is swift and challenging so your gifted children will thrive here, although science isn't included only math. The last school my children attended included math and science. There are good extracurricular activities available. My children participated in Running Club which is a favorite. There's also chess club and all types of music programs. The music program is fantastic. Mr. Washburn keeps in touch with the parents of children in chorus or any other music program and pushes the children to show artistic creativity in their performances. The vice principal is wonderful and takes time to explain anything a parent has questions about.

This is an elementary school grades K-5…read more My 3 boys have gone here and it's an A rated school. The staff here is excellent and very friendly. Most of the teachers are great and my kids really enjoyed going here. The grounds are kept up pretty good and clean. The drop off and especially the pick up lines are still in need of a better system as it takes almost 45 minutes to pick up each child so you have to prepare for all that. The administration staff seem to have it together as this school again is an A rated school and the leaders of the school have a big part in keeping it that was every single year. School is in Westchase and in a great area for a school. Makes me feel that my child is safe as they have certain policies and systems in place.

Very disappointed with this school, we removed our child three weeks after school started and put…read morethem in a charter Scool and we live right around the corner. We had a parent/teacher conference and was told our child had a focusing problem and see our pediatrician. I called the school nurse for an evaluation and the school nurse said to skip the pediatrician and see a neurologist and put him i mess, NO JOKE!! Now he has never been in trouble of which required intervention, seen the principal, nor was denoted prior to having issues, he is 10. I suggested that the teacher perhaps was not the right fit which she was offended by clearly. We interviewed a fabulous charter school, met the teachers, and he is in the school doing well, in fact all a's and one c in reading of which the current teacher said not to worry he had to get used to get strategies. I asked her if she noted any problems requiring intervention and said ABSOLUTELY NOT. Had issues the previous year with my other child of which he was never in trouble and the teachers and administration really stunk at the handling if an issue and did not even take the word of a patrol and mentor, of which my son was put through slot if crap for something he didnt do. Glad we left !!!

There are many Pros and Cons about this school as I'm sure there are with any school. Personally, we have had some ups and downs at this school that have left me feeling a bit off put by it. (But that was our personal exp) There is a mixture of teachers. Some are EXCELLENT! If you are lucky enough to get one of these thank your lucky stars. If not, hold on for a bumpy school year. The ones who really care about education and not just having a pay check are the ones that shine at this school. And sadly are not the ones usually recognized either. The office staff for the most part are wonderful! There are a few you'd like to bop on the head. Mostly helpful and polite. There is usually a volunteer in the front office helping out as well. There is a full time nurse in site who takes care of everything medically related. The school is clean, like any place in Florida there are bugs but not from dirt. They repaint it the same ole boring colours of cream and turquoise. But the district only allows for a choice between two colours. There is a gym/cafeteria/auditorium. There is a huge back PE area. Field, court and playground. All is fenced in and locked up when school is in. The only way you can get in is through the front office with an ID in hand. There is a library, which is always in need of gently used books. There is a media center and a computer lab. There is no pre-school offered but there are special needs ISD classes. Limited parking in three lots. One of them is mainly teacher parking off to the side of the school. One of front and one in the back by the car circle. You can come have lunch with your kiddo which is pretty cool and they are always looking for volunteers for various things.

The administration can be helpful, maybe some more seminars could be helpful to update them on new tactics for the classroom as well as behavior issues. Loved coming here daily and seeing the smiles on those kids faces. Most parents are actively involved in the classroom or if not, keep in touch with teachers. Beautiful school that is kept safe and secure.

Academics are rigorous and students (and teachers alike) are expected to raise the bar for themselves. This is a Title 1 school, but the school earned an "A" for the 2013-2014 school year. I highly recommend this school to any parent zoned for Davis.

Pros: -Phone calls about school events -Teachers who genuinely care about the growth of their students -Many opportunities for communication between parents & staff Cons: -The chaos of afterschool traffic at the pickup loop -Some days the kids do not learn all subjects due to the brevity of the schedule & adherence conflicts.

The kids learn to be kind, not just towards other humans, but to animals and life as well. And they serve homemade plant-based lunch! It's an absolute dream school I wish I had attended when I was a kid-- at least now I can gift the experience to my children. The future generations will benefit from going to this school w its gardening program, veterinary training, culinary program, robotics and 3D printers, etc. Critical thinking, empathy, and exposure to the old and new educational systems are all delivered here for kids w special needs and the gifted and everyone in-between. It's truly a school for everyone and everyone is invited!

Any one who is considering enrolling their children at Solid rock community school in Tarpon…read moresprings should read the contract very carefully. The owners changed the curriculum after every kid was enrolled and would not admit it for 6 months. The charges OMG the charges. The tuition is 18000 per child. But it dosent stop there. They charge the parents for workshops. Every week the school will bring in an outside professional and pay them to teach the kids. We'll that is 150.00 per kid per workshop. Help me understand why we need to pay an outside professional when the school charges so much. They also charge for a field trip to the Animal Sanctuary that their Non Profit owns and is on the same property as the school. The only real goal of this school and their contact is to make sure they get paid, but teaching your kids and keeping them safe isnt in the contract.
