Tropical Elementary School

Mixed. My son has been in tropical elementary for 3 years some teachers were very good others not so much. The school leadership keeps changing, 3 principles in 3 years doesn't not show good continuity of leadership

I have 4 children that attend this school with varying degrees of abilities ( Autism, ADHD, typical). This school and it's teachers are nothing short of amazing. They have gone above and beyond for each of my children.

I have 3 children in this school and they love it. One horror roll and 2 with IEPs all of them fit in and are treated kindly . I have nothing negative to say about this school we all are very thankful for tropical.

I feel there is a diverse group of students, parents, teachers and staff. I have had good teachers and bad. If you complain, the principal and assistant principal treat parents like kids. I am an adult and do not want to be treated like I am attending school, rather like I am a partner in what goes on. It is my taxes dollars that help fund the school. They have a very one way attitude, their way. I still like the school, because I as an adult can deal with this, and will not let this get in my way of doing what is right for my child. I do believe their is favoritism, between staff, teachers, teachers children who attend. Same kids get to do the same things all the time. The school is a little run down, but I am not sure who is to blame, the current school staff, or the county office. They also don't let parents visit for lunch unless they sit outside, while it sounds ''quaint" it is hot and sweaty for those who are professionals who are dressed up and have to return to work. Overall it is average at best, but the school I loved - they closed down, so I am stuck with this for now.
