I enjoyed my time at Stuart Middle, students and classes were both good for the most part. One complaint I have is for the Language Arts system at the school, in each grade, each level, the Language Arts is a block class that takes up two periods. On the other hand, my favorite thing about the school is the band program, when I attended 7th and 8th grade there, Mr. Kalwa was the band teacher and under him I exceled. I believe that the band program is a MUST, it is a great way to make friends and because Stuart Middle leads into Jensen Beach Highschool, starting band in Stuart Middle would provide opportunities in the JBHS musical program.

I am writing to express my appreciation for Principal Krakoff's instructional leadership, vision and the school-wide project based learning he is implementing at Stuart Middle School this year during his first year as Principal at Stuart Middle. I brought my concerns to him today regarding block scheduling, student engagement, cooperative learning, and SEL (social emotional learning) objectives at Stuart Middle School (and secondarily wanted to know whether S.T.E.M. was going to be implemented any time soon at the middle school level).Principal Krakoff addressed all of my concerns thoughtfully, cited studies and demonstrated a thorough understanding of what is best practice academically, not just on a local and statewide/national level, but he demonstrated a very informed understanding of what the highest performing schools are doing successfully on a global/international level and what it will take for our students to compete with the best students in other countries. Principal Krakoff cares deeply about our students and is vested in their success academically and emotionally (his own son attends Stuart Middle). I feel extremely fortunate and grateful that my son (and upcoming children) have the opportunity to attend Stuart Middle School under the leadership of Principal Krakoff.

My child did not have a good experience at this school. I do not recommend.

The staff cares more about the dumb dress code than the education and kids. They also care more about the FCATS than actually teaching us. The dress code is ridiculously strict and the principal is worse. Half the reason I transferred to FLVS is because this school is terrible. The staff is bad, and the whole school is just suffocatingly awful. And don't even get me started on the principal, she is possibly the worst of the worst principals. I am surprised the school district has not thrown her out of the office. She is the most unfair, unreasonable principal in the entire universe. And the whole school staff is way too liberal with referrals. Wish I could give less than 1 star.
