Bartram Springs Elementary School

This school is absolutely fantastic. We were there for 3 years and it was the best experience. The front office is wonderful and loving, the teachers will love your babies like their own. The drama troupe is incredible. This has been the BEST school yet.

If your kids have a disability (ADHD&Asperger or OCD), this school is certainly for not your kids. The school is totally busy homework oriented. They keep kids busy with an extraordinary amount of homeworks and exams. My kid usually goes to the bed around 10:30 pm in order to finish his homework. The success on state tests is resulted from the busy work. The school doesn't believe the recess. So kids can go out and play only once or twice in a month during their recess time. When kids came to the home, they should make everyday at least 2 I ready test reviews, Pearson Value review, the language homework, the math homework, science homework, 35 minutes reading,and should get ready for the every week exam. Additionally the school hesitates to establish individual 504 plans for learning disabilities, even you have a doctor's note stating that it is necessary to accommodate.

Great school, wonderful staff, very clean. Only thing I would change is the pressure they put on the little ones for the state tests and the lack of recess time for the olders ones. They ALL need that down-time. Give it to them. Maybe it will help releif the pressure for the state test :)

I love this school and my kids have been going there for 2 years now. The principal and AP's are really nice. The front office Secretary is wonderful except for the new one. She need to pay more attention to the parents and visitors coming into the school. She is always on her computer and not paying much attention to the parents when they come in. She is mean at times and that need to change or she need to be put somewhere else when she doesn't have to deal with the public. As a parent we want to see and deal with the secretaries who are in good moods and pay attention you us when we come to the school. So I hope they do something about it soon.
