"The school is overcrowded because about 30%-40% of the students are in the gifted program and most of the students in the gifted classes do not live in the school boundary. The administration is aware that they do not live in the boundary area, but they are allowed to attend the school and overcrowd it. The admnistration only enforces the boundary rules for students who are not in the gifted classes. Many of the students live in the Morningside, Midtown and Bay Harbor area, yet they are allowed to attend the school, completely against the district rules. A better sense of "community" would be established if students who actually live in the "community" attended the school."

"Go South Pointe !! I have three children at this school. I could not be happier. The classes are small and the teachers are wonderful. They really get to know your kids and all of their needs. Since the school is on the smaller size, it has a family atmosphere. The PTA and FOSPE are great. The office and administrators are approachable and easy to talk to. I really feel like I am heard and that my opinion really counts with everyone there. Most important though is that my children are learning and are really happy. What else can a parent ask for ."

"We LOVE SPE! There are a few large classes, but b'c of the parent's vigorous fundraising to benefit ALL students in the school, the lg. classes have 2 teachers. My child has never been in a class over 20 students. I do tons of volunteer work in the school and have been in most classrooms. I vouch that all of the teachers are wonderful, committed, engaged, smart and loving. They all seem committed to the school and make it feel like a tight, neighborhood community. The principle is dynamic, smart, fully committed in the school and employs the BEST teachers. We love it here and our child's academics are outstanding and challenging. HW, enrichment and PTA are A++"

"my kids and I love this school. The teachers are so dynamic and enthusiastic that the kids actually love learning. The school also has an incredible afterschool program. So I don't have to drive my children to gymnastics or basketball. We are so lucky to have such a school in our backyard. I find that it is more challenging acedemically than any private school. go south pointe!"
