    "I personally was not pleased with this school. I had transferred my daughter from Challanger to this school and it was a HUGE mistake. She did great academically at Challanger and in Tamarac she was struggling. The staff were rude, there is no playground for recess, my daughter recess area consisted of a sidewalk on the North side of the school by the parking lot! No end of the year awards for students who read the most, No math nights or family nights, no after school tutoring available to students. Her teacher (Mrs. Pollack) was the worst! She was the most sarcastic teacher I've ever met, she's run down and tired of her job, does not really control her classroom students...If you don't like teaching anymore then don't teach and take out your unhappiness on the kids! The school is not very clean, the end of the year concert was disorganized. Almost everything about this school I was not happy with and there is so much more and I was surprised because I thought this was going to be a good school. I am taking her out and putting her back in Challanger."

    "Too regimented in academics and too unstructured during co-curricular activities; very few fun learning programs; way too much hysteria over FCAT. Some teachers berate the children, other professionals yell and degrade the students, even the good performers. It's obvious the students get little discipline at home and constantly disrupt the classroom; this is NOT a school for a smart, well-behaved child. We spent 1st & 2nd grades there; I volunteered and saw a lot. Thankfully we moved out of the area and now love our school."

    "I recently moved my son from one scool toTamarac Elementary thnking that it would be an even better school for him. Mind you, he had good grades at his previous school. My son is in 5th grade and now that I have moved him, he is struggling. He brings home so much homework that he has no time for outdoor activities. I believe that they focus more on FCAT than actual learning that they will need for their future. I am tired of having to try to figure out his homework. I do understand that he needs to prepare for middle school & than high school, but they just send too much home. I have a child in High School as well and she rarely comes home with homework; most learning is done in the class and mind you, they have 7 classes in one day. STOP FOCUSING ON FCAT!!!"

    "To the parent who wrote yesterday...How would your child do today if he took the FCAT? That is the true test. I had three children at Tamarac Elementary and they all did well there. My 6th grader (now in 8th grade) was more than prepared for middle school. Now my children are in another state and are still excelling thanks to the foundation that was built at Tamarac and our hard work at home. Not everyone can afford private school and even if you can, it doesn't mean that your child is receiving a better education. Tamarac isn't perfect but it is one of the best. I also feel that most of the staff and especially the principal are doing their best and they really care!"
