The reason i gave the school only 4 stars is the bfst/lunch program. I think if you're in elementary school and given the choice of chocolate milk or white milk you're going to choose chocolate. And the juice should not be a fruit choice. What is wrong actual fruit? And less sugary cereals need to be on the menu as well. And where is Michelle Obama's school lunch program? Heavy sugar, trans fats and carbs are not good for anyone. Please, no plastic food for our children.

We have a 2nd and 5th grader and I've always been pleased with their teachers, the staff is very professional and has always been helpful when I had questions or when I was at the school to visit. The grounds of this school are so well kept, the security here gives me comfort as well, so many resource officers and lots of teachers out helping kids when it's time for final bell. Teachers are great at communicating here, we couldn't make it to our sons parent teacher conference so she called us and had a phone conference instead, they are so good at working around busy schedules too! Highly recommend this school to anyone in the area.

Worst school experience ever. I wish someone would've told me not to enroll my son. My first clue…read moreshould've been the absolute zero diversity on the staff/faculty roster. Check the faculty/staff is it still at zero diversity! The fakest friendly environment I've ever encountered. My child was called the N word here. Bought it to the school personnel attention. The principal told me no one else heard it. I hated this school and realized why people end up withdrawing after one year. The education level was not as presented either. No support services to help improve my child's reading comprehension. The red flag was when they told me he was reading on level when he clearly was not. Left this school and FSA testing again proved he was not. Good Luck. I've learned to know check for diversity not just in student body but in the staff.

The IAs ride the bus at this school, but are rewarded with coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts around vacas. This school has Headstart, pre k VE, AND a huge ESE building with all elementary ages catered to. The programs are new and up to date with equipment and knowledge. Very cool playground for the intermediate grades that adds a great amount of exercise. I have never seen such a dedicated cafeteria staff! Rock on, Northwest!

My Granddaughter had been going to Trinity Elementary but living in Tarpon Springs. When she…read more"graduated," the plan was to register her at Tarpon Springs Middle as this was her zoned school then request transfer to Palm Harbor. I live a mile away from PHMS and take care of her while mom is at work. I went to the TSMS office and reserved a spot for the 2017-18 school year. I told them my intentions. The Principal's office was within hearing range and Mrs Giles came out to talk to me. She wanted to give me information on TSMS and I was all ears! #1 She made the effort to come out of her office to talk to me. #2 She gave a brief history of the school; the good, the bad, and the ugly! #3 She showed true enthusiasm and caring about the students and bringing the school rating up! I told her she just gained another student AND another parent volunteer who will support and help get the school the A rating it deserves! Because of Mrs Giles, I am now a Level 2 PCS Volunteer. I am on the School Advisory Committee and the PTSA. To date, My Granddaughter has reported back-to-back Honor Roll status AND is active in the Girls Chorus. She's made a lot of new friends and loves the fact that her "Pops" supports her and the other students at school. I loved my career but this volunteer gig is the most important opportunity to me and, obviously, to my Granddaughter! When we get A rating, I'll go FIVE STARS! Go Spartans!

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.
