    "I have two students at Seminole, one entering second grade and the other entering third. They have both been there since Kindergarten. I have to say that I am very happy with this school, its teacher's, and the administration. My daughters get to participate in many after school activities offered throughout the year. The teachers are kind, fair and knowledgeable. Some parents complain about not having access but school is not for the parents it is for the children. Some parents act like hoodlums themselves so not having access to me is not a major issue. The times I have had to communicate with the school or with the teachers I have been able to do so. I have always been provided the information I have needed from the office staff. The teachers have kept me abreast of any issues relating to my children. I have complete faith that the administration is doing what is best for them. The administrators are there every morning to open the door and greet my children at the gate when I drop them off. I have absolutely no grievances with this school and completely disagree with all the statements of those with negative opinions. Definitely an A in my book!"

    "Great school with amazing teachers. I have to disagree completely with many of the negative reviews. I am the parent of 2 children who attend Seminole, and my experience here has been nothing but positive. The new administration is friendlier, and more involved. The principal greets every child by their name each morning and has provided many school related activities for the students to enjoy (she attends al of them herself as well). The teachers are friendly, easy to talk to and very helpful. I feel my children are getting a great education here. Additionally, I agree with the safety measures taken at the school, unfortunately society has forced our schools to take severe security actions to ensure safety to all the students."

    "This school is run more like a minimun security prison. Where parents are kept out and children kept in and the only thing you are made aware of is how to donate money or when they are trying to raise money. The principal believes this is "her" school not a school shared between parents, teachers and children. Favoritism like another parent mentioned is prevalent and rampant here. Unfortunately, it seems the school is over run with abuletios and abuelitas who dont speak the language and there are a lack of parents who care enough to get involved. Getting a "hello" or " good morning" from someone seems like pulling teeth, in any language, spanish or english. Being a man on school grounds also seems to be a no-no especially if you have an opinion. This poor school suffers from a case of mean girl disposition set off by the principal then carried out by all her cronies. It truly is a shame for some of us parents who had fond memories of a school run by great people. If you are contemplating letting your son or daughter attend and have other options, exercise your options. This school might be an A but it looks, feels and acts like an F!"

    "this school has changed a lot true the years and it's not all that great any more my son attends school here you cant walk your kid inside the school cant go on the bus to go to field trips with them my kid got hurt i was never notified . They have some rude volunteers that aren't always nice to the kids, this school has favoritism to people they know and they don't comply with rules like the rest of the parents. Just because a school has a good grade does not mean that it's a good school. A couple of other parents also has complaints. The principal is no good for this school she might be nice but she is no help when you need something done. Ms. Alvarez in the office is a very good woman who will try to help you in what ever you need and she listens but there is only so much she can do . I feel like they don't want us involve in our kids life because they make it so difficult with all this rules , it feels like they hiding something"
