I have two children (2nd grade and 4th grade) enrolled in Sabal Palm Elementary school. Our experience has been wonderful. The teachers are enthusiastic and responsive. I can tell they enjoy what they do. I children are happy, thriving, learning and growing. The PTA is very active and welcoming. We have had an incredibly positive experience since my oldest was in Kindergarten.

The best decision that we made was putting our kid in this school. Our daughter was going to Pine Forest School of the Arts for kindergarten and first grade and the school rating went down so we decided to switch her to her home school, which was Sabal Palm and Im so glad we did. Our daughter was behind in academics when we switched and now shes doing great. The teachers stay after school to tutor the kids for FSA and go above and beyond for their students. So glad we made the switch!

Sabal Palm has been a blessing to my grandson and next year my granddaughter will attend Kindergarten there. The teachers that we have dealt with have been a blessing (Ms. Griffith and Ms. Gerson). My grandson has learned a lot from them and continues to enjoy everyday he attends school.

Sabal Palm is Amazing ! I have twins in kindergarten and to watch how much they have learned and grown from the beginning of the year is simply amazing. The teachers are very helpful and have an enjoyment for teaching. It shows through their students.

Peaceful Parent Sabal Palm is such a wonderful school it is truly home away from home for my two children who attend. When my children are all finished at Sabal Palm it will truly be a sad day. We will never again find teachers like Mrs. Bookhart or Ms. Roy.

This school is AWESOME!! My son attended Kindergarten and first grade at Sabal Palm and we were very pleased!! He was in an inclusion class for Kindergarten which meant it was a coteach setting. Ms. Adams and Mrs. Albertson were a great team! I felt comfortable leaving my son with them daily and he learned a lot. They were quick to respond to parent emails and easy to work with, a great experience! In first grade, my son was in Ms. Pelton's classroom and again I loved working with her! She is a talented, even tempered, kind teacher who cares about her students and works well with parents. Ms. Pelton was truly a huge blessing to us! My son thrived in her classroom. The teachers that we had at Sabal Palm were easy to contact and happy to answer questions and address concerns of parents. I highly recommend all three teachers. The extended day program was run well. We never had any contact with the principal because the teachers were professional and we never needed to take things to the next level. Highly recommend!!

My daughter was there for Kindergarten and she loved it. The area has declined a bit but the school is still really good. We liked the school but were amazing at how big the classes were per student teacher ratio. Now this was before the new Waterleaf school opened so it might have changed.

Our son has gone there for 3 years and he loves it. The teachers have been great and they really take time to meet the needs of all the various types of children in each classroom. The administration is supportive and we have had a great experience.
