"We have had our daughter in this school since kinder. I fought very hard to get her into this school because it had such a great reputation. Now in the 1st grade (with a great teacher Ms. Mackenzie) & using a dual grade teaching program (1st & 2nd grades together) we have been plucked from this teacher midyear and without any involvement with the affected parents. I am very disappointed in the lack of parent acknowledgment with the school and do not feel the principle is using the student needs and attributes to the best of their ability. Needless to say we are currently looking for a new school."

"This is a great school. I have a soon-to-be first grader and had a wonderful experience with kindergarten. His teacher is really positive, easy to communicate with, and has high expectations. We're really happy with Florence!"

"We love this little neighborhood school. It has a nice family atmosphere and Ms. Estill is dedicated to giving our kids every opportunity to be their best. We appreciate the cultural wealth and diversity of the students and faculty and all of the friends we have made there. What a blessing!"

"Testing is one standardized measure of a school's success. Testing prep is a large part of the school year. However, there are many enrichment opportunities offered as well. Given the fact that it is an urban school, with all the related issues, it's a great little school. People who have left are bringing their kids back and acknowledging the 'mistake' of leaving."

"This is an excellent little school! Yes they do spend a lot of time trying to teach the standards. Yes, there is lots of homework. It is in process of becoming an IBO school. Children are treated as individuals. The principal is caring and does a great job. She has clearly stated standards and asks they be respected. I don't think this is 'authoritarian' as another reviewer put it."
