Curtis Fundamental Elementary School

Best School EVER honestly!!!

I went to this school loved all of my teachers besides 5th grade (mrs.mcelveen) she was really nice but sometimes I got frustrated by the work she assigned. I had some really good memories there but I wouldn’t go back. I would definitely recommend this school for kids who will stay on tasks and are a little above average because of warnings and it’s fundamental but overall I would recommend

I went here in the 90s and now my kids are students here. It's still a great school!

I have been blessed to be able to have my grand daughter in this school since she was in Kindergarten and she is about to graduate from there. So six years of all wonderful teachers, office staff, Principal and the kids are great as well. I can only hope I get blessed to be able to have my daughter start kindergarten in another year there as well. Thank you Curtis Fundamental for an awesome 6 years!!

In Pinellas County, you have many options for your child's education.nYou have public schools, charter & magnet schools, home or virtual schooling, private schools, etc. One great ~free~ option offered through the county are fundamental schools.nThese schools provide a structured environment and a back to basics approach. They focus on student responsibility and parent participation. Admission is decided by lottery. We sometimes truly feel like we won a lottery when our daughter was granted access to this program.nIt was written in a derogatory newspaper article that the county has made fundamental schools available only to white affluent families. I disagree whole heartedly. We are neither affluent nor white.nDo your research, do your best for your kids and their education where ever that might be. Staying involved is key for all parents no matter their color.nWith regard to Curtis, it's a wonderful school and we are happy with the foundation it has provided our daughter.
