This is a Charter School in Orange County. My two children attend this school and it's truly a…read morelovely environment. It's close to home and they require parent involvement. There are a few downsides to this Charter School : No buses, a below average before/after school program, lack of Library and music programs. If you don't live in Oakland, then you have to do a lottery system for getting into the school which can be stressful for those parents seeking an alternative to their locally zoned school. Pros: Teachers are great, setting is safe, clean and fun.

My kids were both born in Florida, and our family has moved around quite a bit, so we've seen different school environments. That said, Windermere Prep has been much more than just a school for our family it has truly been an experience. The campus is beautiful. The classrooms and teachers are nurturing, and the school offers strong academic programs, including the IB curriculum. My children have also had opportunities to participate in international trips and other experiences that helped them grow beyond the classroom. At the same time, like any school, students still need to take responsibility for their own studying and effort. I've found several administrators and teachers including Mr. Villatico, Dr Fouche, Mr Muenker, Ms. Gemma very supportive and easy to work with. When concerns are raised, the school does respond and work toward solutions. We are proud to be Lakers.

The bullying there is over the top. The school does nothing . Have you ever had a teacher tell you not to try out . I wish they would say that to me .

My advice to anyone is stay away .

My daughter started VPK at Cranium Academy with Ms. Lindsey as her teacher. She was not only sweet…read moreand kind, but she consistently went above and beyond for all of her students. Thanks to her dedication, my daughter thrived and developed a love for learning. This year, she graduated from Mrs. Neysha's classroom, which was another phenomenal experience. Mrs. Neysha was just as caring and personable, creating a nurturing environment where every child felt valued. She taught so many important lessons, both academically and personally, and helped my daughter achieve Principal's Honor Roll. I truly could not have asked for a better school or more amazing teachers. We are so grateful for the love, support, and education our daughter has received at Cranium Academy. We love this school and can't wait to see what next year will bring!

StarChild Academy Winter Garden (SCAWG) is a great option for preschool; however, I strongly…read morecaution against enrolling your child in the elementary school. The overall positives of the school are cultural diversity among the staff and student body, a family feel, and friendly, caring faculty and staff, as well as building updates on the preschool side. Preschool Pros: curriculum Preschool Cons: Teacher retention; on average, children go through at least 2 lead teachers a year, and it's a revolving door for assistants. When our children were attending SCAWG, it was advertised as an advanced curriculum school; it's not. We withdrew our youngest child first because it's easiest to succeed in surrounding charter schools' lotteries when entering kindergarten. Youngest attended from age 2.5 - 5 (VPK). Youngest is testing above grade level in ELA (was even promoted to grade 1 phonics class at new school) on Florida's statewide standardized assessments (F.A.S.T); however, Math results were below grade level. Elementary School Pros: N/A Elementary School Cons: no technology in classrooms, teacher retention, no behavioral specialist, inadequate disciplinary action, unrealistic amount of at-home supplementing, ineffective curriculum, no positive reinforcements for academic achievement, no standardized test prep, combined 4th and 5th grade class Oldest attended from age 3-9 (grade 3.5; we withdrew after mid-year). For context, in kindergarten, first, and second grade, the oldest had all A's with 1 B for the whole school year. Q1 of third grade all A's, one B, Q2 of third grade all A's, one B. Oldest tested at grade level in ELA on F.A.S.T and below grade level in Math. At SCAWG, they introduce concepts and move on quickly without allowing the child adequate time to practice or retain what they've learned. While every institution has its pros and cons, we're most disappointed by what we now realize is a horrible curriculum and questionable teaching styles. There are better elementary school options in the area than SCAWG, and I urge you to exhaust them. SCAWG Elementary turned out to be a colossal waste of money for us - it shouldn't have to be for you, too.

Though the school is…read moreconsidered "nice" by most parents, most of them will probably agree that there is nothing special about Montverde Academy as far as education goes. The school allows retakes of important tests which may increase the students' total grades. The parents may feel "preppy" about their kids getting dressed in purple and yellow but most of the parents would agree that Montverde Academy is not worth $20,000 a year plus other hidden funds the school is attempting to get out of the parents throughout the year. Real life social skills (like arguing, debating, spitting, etc.) are difficult to learn in Montverde Academy when everything is so protective and the kids study in a "cotton ball" environment.
