"The school is one of the best in the area I must say but the office personnel needs to treat parents with more respect. Also they go overboard with what a child might say it is ridiculous I have seen suspensions an detentions for the stupidest reasons, they are too strict on certain aspects. Be aware they ask for donations all the time and fees like 25.00 lab fee for a 9 yr old student that's ridiculous."

"I just received an automated phone call from the school, supporting the local politicians and to vote. This is what the school uses their time and money for.???? this school needs to focus on education and becareful with how it is spending money and put it back into education not supporting local politicians.The school thanked them already, when they approved the highschool."

"I moved to homestead 4 years ago and I agree with the parent who wrote that the parents are not treated appropriately. I have witnessed this myself several times in the past and recently. In addition to this there are constant fund raisers and this year the school has asks for a $25.00 activity and lab fee that is required per child. I have 3 children. I thought the District/State provides funding for charter schools. Finally, this school has very minimal activities"

"My 2 boys have been attending Waterstone since it opened. My oldest is now a southmoore in High School and my youngest just started Middle school at Waterstone. This school has been a dream come true for me as a parent. Teachers & Administrators are simply Great not only to the children but to the parents as well. Its like dropping your kids off in the morning at a family member's house. They are loved and very well taken care of and academically I couldn't ask for anything better. My oldest was completely prepared for High School and averaged Honor Roll the entire Freshman year. I love Waterstone and it's Wonderful Staff and I am blessed to have my children attend there. :)"

"I worked at the Charter School at Waterstone for four years. I truly believe that it is one of the best Charter Schools in Miami-Dade, especially after the schools I have seen after I left there. Waterstone has amazing resources, and amazing teachers. In response to the person who says that the administration has changed too much, and that teachers and administrators are disrespectful in the hallways, please be aware that they are confronted with many unreasonable parents on a daily basis. They are probably not trying to appear disrespectful, simply efficient. It is their job to answer your questions and make sure you leave the building so that learning can take place. Also, the change in administration has always involved qualified administrators, who are being moved from one position to another in order to expose them to more positions in administration. They are very capable administrators."
