"My fiance, daughter and I moved to the area in December 2010. My daughter started in Kindergarted since her birthday was just past the cut off. Her teacher did a GREAT job of helping her adjust to the move and new environment. After a few weeks and some testing, she was moved to first grade. Again, her teacher helped her in every way. We were always welcome to watch or participate and we were kept informed of everything going on when we couldn't. The teachers and staff helped what was a difficult situation become a great experience for my daughter. VERY HAPPY!!!!"

"2 of my children attended Florence this year after moving from another Guilford county school. Both of their teachers were attentive to their needs pushing them to excel. The AG program which is lead by an enthusiastic teacher has been great in pushing my 3rd grader to advance in math and reading. Communication was very good between teacher and parent. We love the extra things offered here such as drama, the clownettes, and rowdy ropers! I know the teachers truly care and want the kids to succeed. Our move to this school was a great decision!"

"We just moved to North Carolina and my son started kindergarten at Florence Elementary. We were worried that the new school, change of environment, and education systems would effect his (and our) ability to adapt. Fortunately his teachers (Ms. Cobb and Ms. Miller) have been great. They communicate everyday on his progress and we can tell that he enjoys his class because he talks about all of the activities they are doing each week. The thing I like the best is the reward system at the end of the week where students can pick from the treasure chest if they have exhibited good behavior all week. This positive re-enforcement is very effective and lets our children know that they get attention for doing good things not just when they don't. We are looking forward to 1st grade next year. I hope the school implements foreign language studies into the program"

"As a parent of a kindergarten student I was very pleased with this school. My son made the transition smoothly. Faculty and staff kept me up to date with all events and it was quite easy setting up meeting times with my son's teacher. The ACES After School Program is top notch. No complaints."

"I'm not a big fan of the school after hearing sarcastic comments of the administration, teachers and parents. The way they talk to people is very inappropriate."
