Nob Hill Elementary School

We love Nob Hill Elementary! We switched schools because our current school had declined in many ways. We were extremely glad we did. My son felt welcomed from the first day he walked in. The teachers seem genuinely happy and really care about their students.

My kids have spend 3 and 1 year at this school. I loved it! This year was difficult to watch the fall for my daughter in the 4th grade. She was in a class that she was doing well and really liked her teacher. Then 2 months later they tell her she is being shuffled due to class size and placed in a new class with a new teacher with more than half the boys having behavioral issues. She was now being made fun of and having to deal with all distractions that she was not used to having before. People that know my daughter and work at the school were asking me why she was even placed in that class! It was so bad that their teacher changed her behavior chart 3 times and eventually walked out on the class and quit! The class then had subs and the last one agreed to stay until the rest of the school year. I went to talk with the principal and I explained to her that she does not do well with all these changes and was begging me to get her back to her original class. She made me feel like I had no choice, my hands were tied and as I was trying to advocate for my daughter, I feel like she was telling me to suck it up and move on. As much as I tried to help my daughter I could see it going down hill. She now was bring home Ds and Fs. Her FSA score was terrible. I do think in general there are great teachers at the school, but this situation was not fair to my child and she suffered.

Nob Hill has provided a positive and effective learning environment for my child. Her teachers have been excellent and she has had many growth and learning opportunities. Thank you Nob Hill.

Moving from up north to S. Florida I was a bit skeptical about the schooling system. However, I must say Nob Hill has been a great experience.
