Fishhawk Creek Elementary School

TERRIBLE!!!!! I'm so glad we will be moving again, and my kids will not have to be subjected to this awful place any more! If you're moving to the area, check out Bevis, Stowers, or even Pinecrest before turning to Fishhawk Creek as a last resort.

I am so disappointed in this school. The staff is not friendly. The first couple of days my daughter rode her scooter to school and placed it inside the fence and I would pick it up after dropping her off at the classroom. There was a lady there one day and she said so sternly, "mom, you need to put the scooter outside of the fence if you are not going to leave it", I told her that we were new to the school and I was unaware of the "scooter rule" and would gladly place it outside of the fence in the future. She laughed at me. So far this year I have had a horrible experience with the staff at this school. I do not understand how this school is rated as one of the top rated schools in the county when there is so much more for a school to be great than just the education piece.

Absolutely horrendous. This school completely destroyed my son's self esteem, love of school and it has taken two years - at different school for him finally enjoy school again. If your child struggles at all, don't walk RUN away from this school. The principal and her staff are like robots, have no compassion, only care about their A rating, your child is just a number and if they struggle or an IEP student, this school is absolutely a disservice to them. I knew from month 1, they were going to retain my child, they think that is the answer to everything. Completely deplorable and give FL schools a bad name because not all schools are like this, Fishhawk Creek is NOT a good school despite their A rating. That is strictly based on test scores and that's all they care about. They drill the kids in 3rd grade that this FSA test is the most important test of their life and they are a failure if they don't pass.

Moved to Fishhawk for the schools and have been very pleased. I would recommend this school and have nothing negative to share. PTA is very active puts on many fun activities for students. Love the annual Read-O-Ween, Falcon festval and Veterans Day program! Parent involvement is high and moral has always seemed good. Office staff has always been pleasant and helpful. School is very supportive to military families. Love our bus driver too!
