Ippolito Elementary School

Great school down the road from where we live. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for new location.

Our two daughters attended this school for the first time this school year. We had a terrible experience. While there were a few smiling faces and the assistant principal, Ms. Hoze, was more helpful than the rest...it was not enough to salvage the bitter taste this school has left in our mouths. One of our daughter's teachers did not seem like she really cared about her students' progress, she seemed more of a distraction just there to occupy their time until dismissal, definitely not a teacher. We also feel as though she lied to us several times to save herself from trouble. We asked about our daughter's reading progress during the first nine weeks, to which she said she was progressing along nicely. However, when we received her report card, she received Below Level, Unsatisfactory. We requested an evaluation for specific learning disability which they denied us - that is against federal regulation under IDEA. Anytime we needed help and wanted to be proactive in our children's education, we were discouraged. Towards the end of the year, we decided we needed to speak to the principal as we were going nowhere, to our dismay, Ms. Bennett denied us any help of any sorts. This school is a disappointment and lives up to all the terrible stereotypes that Florida schools have.

We have had children in Ippolito for 4 years now and have been very pleased. The teachers all went out of their way to make sure my child was succeeding in every way possible, especially when he was struggling and took personal time to think about my child! I have been very pleased.

My children attended this school. We were very happy with teachers and staff. It felt like family! They help us during the hardships within our family. I trust them with my most prized jewels.
