Everglades K-8 Center

Para mí es una excelente escuela . Mi niño está sedes kindergartens ya va a 3rd grade y es muy buena.

This used to be a phenomenal school but has rapidly declined in the past few years. Since our kids started there 7 years ago when it was a hidden gem, there are no longer extra curricular activities, no summer school, no sports and no school spirit. We were first attracted by the Extended Foreign Language program but this is non-existent. The "program" which still exists on paper has gone from 4 days of Spanish a week to maayyyybe 2 days. The once booming after school sports programs have dried up like the dirt fields (there are no playgrounds anymore either). We had to move our kids from the school we once loved for middle school because this "k-8" has become a low achieving pond with zero options in the arts or technology for middle schoolers. While other schools have father-daughter dances, hay rides, and movie nights, our school sponsored family activities have been reduced to McDonald nights which has poor attendance from faculty and administration anyway... It's a real shame and loss for the neighborhood.

No after school care, No tutoring (not even if you pay for it, they just don't provide any tutoring whatsoever). No after school sports offered, No summer school offered. Very sad that that this school does not offer anything and other schools do. Take your child someplace else and look at the reviews I only found 1 good one for the year 2015

Our child has begun her 6th year at this school, and we are very satisfied with the quality of the education she is receiving. No school is perfect and there are certain aspects which could certainly improve. However, her teachers to date have been knowledgeable, caring and the study material has always been relevant and challenging. Our child is always happy to go to school, which is as important as academics, although not always as happy with the amount of homework, which doesn't leave much time for free play. The school offers an EFL (Extended Foreign Language) program in Spanish, and a Gifted Class in Language Arts and Reading, and Social Studies. There is also an outstanding Music and Chorus program. We would appreciate more communication regarding some school events or sharing the students' achievements with the school community. The school would need a covered gymnasium to encourage more P.E./sports activities, and some recess would be beneficial for the children, although this, unfortunately, has more to do with the school system that the school itself. The level of security is adequate. We recommend this school as a good learning center.
