School Reviews

5   1/6/2024
I was in this school from 4th grade to 5th grade. I am now in 6th grade and this school was a great school for me, from the security staff to the Principal. Also, my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Diaz, helped me a lot in Mathematics and Science. Mrs. Beaton helped me a lot in Esol, I was Esol 2 and now I am Esol 4, she is also an excellent teacher, I will be very grateful to her and I will never forget her. The Physical Education teacher was very kind to us. Ms. Montejo, the art teacher, was a little intense with our behavior, but she was also good. and Mrs. Gonzales was excellent. Thank you Seminole for this beautiful teaching, and for such good memories.
