"Our 11 year-old son James has done exceptionally well at this school which he has attended since he was 3. One of his teachers advised us that he would do best if we advanced him one grade and he has responded beautifully. No school is completely free of dfficulties, especially while it is trying to get established. What is amazing about this school is the dedication of the teachers who have consistently provided an academically challenging environment which encourages creativity. Every teacher has been enthusiastic about teaching, and each has their own unique strengths. Most importantly, the school fosters respect and concern for others and the world. We can see this in our son. We have 3 children and have been through various private and public schools in Sarasota and Charlotte counties. We love this school and hope it continues to grow."

"Overall we've been quite happy with Good Shepherd. Our child has been attending for the past 5 years, starting with 1 1/2 years of preschool. The school has an excellent curriculum and is very strong in music but as noted in a prior post, the student body size has limited the sports facilities and related opportunities. The post written a year ago that spoke of problems involving a new principal is out-of-date. The problems have been met, dealt with, and the school is once again thriving."

"Outstanding. The small class size, personalization and concern from administration, staff and teachers, expanded curriculum which includes strings from 2nd grade up, chimes from K-up (music!), art, and focus on character education contributes to the overall experience. They are receiving a life education, not just academics. My son was transferred from a much larger public elementary school, initially struggled because the academic rigor was more intense, but the 1 on 1 attention and student interaction helped him progress quickly. He is now achieving at a much higher level with far less anxiety. We can't afford this school, but we were able to enroll thanks to McKay Scholarship because he has an IEP, and I am applying for the pride scholarship online at www.psas.org. My first exposure to the students from the school were the violinists playing with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. Kudos!"

"since the new principal came this school has suffered dramatically. they have lost so many children and parents alike. the school needs an overhaul in administration and leadership"
