Mater Academy Elementary

Good afternoon,nnMy name is Chantel Milgram and my sons go to mater academy elementary school. I have never seen in my life such horrible services that I have receive in mater academy elementary school. In my opinion how can Florida education try to educate students in schools when there refusing students at the door. My son was at school 1/28/2021, parents must line on the side of the express way awaiting for the school to allow parents to drop off there children. I arrived at the school at 8:00 am and had to wait in a line about 6 blocks away and park there until the school allowed parents to drop off there children. The school is supposed to open at 7:45 am every day but what happens is we must wait for bus to go through first and sometimes the buses have not even arrived yet. When I finally pulled up to the school it was 8:20 am and they refused my child due to being tardy and made me take my child home. And the most interesting part is that when I was sit in my car waiting to pull up, there was about 7 staff members outside just standing in a group talking and laughing, instead of working together to get the students in class in a fast, safe manner. How can Florida education think my son can try to have an education when first needs to be on computer at home for the first months of school and now try to learn something at school but then be refused in school, due to lack of administration control. When I call the school to speak to the principal she told me that’s are policy and they can have any type of policy they desire. And in my opinion that shows you don’t care about your students education because if mater academy was controlled correctly, then there would not be students at home lacking education. My son is 7 years old, how can you think my child can learn on a computer at home and then tell me he’s slacking in his education and when I try to take my child to the school for him to get a better education, Mater academy refuses my son due to the lack of traffic control. As soon as this year is over I will be removing my sons and put him in a broward county charter school. There is so much lack of administration in mater academy that there’s some teachers that don’t even speak English. Even in the other building for 3rd to 5th grade also is lacking administration. I want some one to be aware of this. If you have any questions please give me a call.

I LOVEEEEE THIS SCHOOL BEST SCHOOL EVER AND THE TEACHERS ARE VEY NICE

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible! They say it is one of the best schools in America, but that is a lie from the pits of HELL!! Teachers are rude, security guards are rude, administration is rude, you see the principal once in a blue moon, the lunch ladies are rude, everybody is rude! If you completely hate your child, send them here. However, even if you have at least 1 ounce of love for your child, do not send them to this school. Too much homework, not enough time. I give them NO Stars. I went to Mater Academy and within half of school year, I ran away from it.

I highly recommend to every parent to STAY AWAY from this school. WORST school ever. Administration is RUDE, teacher are disrespectful, and are inexperienced. The teachers don't care about your child, they only care about their appearance. If you want to child to succeed stay away from this school.

Back when I was in elementary more than 10 years ago the school was the best thing ever. IDK about now. But I surely miss my teachers, Ms. Castro, Ms. Sara and Tara, Ms. Suarez, Ms. Argibay... And a few more I got to meet when I was there. We all cried when Mr. Altamiranda left and we met Mr. Odio, when Ms. Salazar left and we got the new art teacher ... And drama club was awesome and chorus too
