I think teaching at this school is like teaching at a private school. We do not focus on just testing, but minly on high academoc standards as well as wonderful lessons an d creativity. Elementary students are exposed to many hands on science lessons and social studies lessons...Parents are extremely supportive and their involvement is that of a private school. A wonderful place to go to school and a wonderful place to tesch. I myself put three of my own children through this school as well as being a teacher there. If you are in the keys go visit the best school there!
This school rocks! My 3 boys have/are attending PKS. I have nothing but high praise for the staff. I had my oldest in a private school for 4 years before I found that I was buying his grades. I believe alot of the negativity is from the change in principals after 23 years. The new principal is not interested in catering to the parents, but rather the students. The staff rollover has dramatically lowered since her arrival too. Bottom line, students are learning the Sunshine State Standards just as Tallahassee has mandated.
I have given several reviews on this school and will continue to do so. I have 2 children in this school (we don't have choices in this area) I have seen it go from a happy , quality environment to the depressing state it is now. teachers are burned out, zero discipline, principal in la la land. High teacher turn over due to high cost of living in the area. Emphasis strictly on FCAT test no critical thinking, no cursive writing, lack of creativity due to teaching to 'the test. The school severly lacks in technology. It is old and bug infested. whoever came up with a 9 rating for this school better open their eyes!
Just average. Very disappointed in the lack of creativity in the elementary program. This school is antiquated in philosophy and practice and fails to excite kids to learn, My child was bored to tears, literally. The middle school program has potential and my older child is enjoying the experience there, but not challenged at all academically.
