Great school with very few discipline issues. The teachers are able to focus on teaching and the students are able to focus on learning. As a parent I have no problem signing a daily agenda/homework assignment and attending a monthly PTA meeting. The only issue I have noticed is the quantity of homework. My daughter spends hours every day and a large portion of the weekend completing her homework. I fully understand the need for a regimen of math and possibly science homework but they have an english teacher teacher and a civics teacher that seem to consider themselves as college professors. Putting young students through too much pressure at a young age leaves me concerned about a potential burn out factor before they reach college. I am appreciative of the high standards but I believe there needs to be more consideration for a quality of life balance.

Great school. Came from Plato, way better experience with the Admin team & my sons current teacher has been teaching over 23 years.

My oldest child was in school before it turned fundamental and although the adjustment was difficult for me at beginning (all the rules appeared ridiculous at first) I am glad I gave the fundamental program a chance, I think it benefited the kids tremendously. Now my oldest graduated from madeira and is in the IB diploma program doing very well and I feel the fundamental program prepared her well. The principal Mr. Ateek is a strong leader, truly inspiring I am happy to have him as a role model for my children for his work ethics and interest in his work.I have 3 kids currently there in various grades and the teachers we encountered up to now are mostly excellent. While we are very happy with the school and satisfied with program as it served our kids well, it may not suit all types of kids especially those who need to do things in their own way/ time and do not function well with too much rules. Madeira beach fundamental school is highly structured with no shortages of rules.

This school is fantastic. Parents say that the discipline is to much but it's not. I should know because I'm a student here. I'd rather have it this way than them not enforcing the rules at all. They are also very big on physical contact. If you punch someone or bully someone you are automatically suspended and or kicked out. Their events, staff, and parents help make this school amazing. I've learned to love math and become excellent at it. Thank you Madeira Beach Fund.
