School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>5 11/15/2012My oldest graduated from EME & my youngest start there in 2012. It is a wonderful school & everyone there has great concern for the parents & their children.2 1/25/2011I went to this school for the fourth grade, and only the fourth grade for a reason back in 1998. East Milton, strives to meet the hallmark of higher standards at any means necessary and there as students with learning disabilities are left behind. Teachers have the I am right, never wrong attitude (which is par for the course for 60% of Florida's teachers) and will mock parents. The academic programs rarely if ever sail beyond state expectations and their success is only determined by the scores of their test takers, not how their students are learning or how they are taught. The only extracurricular activities are a Recorder Club and a Chorus Group and selection is based upon test scores and academic standing rather than talent, these groups meet once a week with one or two concerts a year. There are no academic or athletic awards as teams and groups for such are only a permanent fixture in High Schools in Santa Rosa County. The facilities have improved however, students are not allowed to use the newer equipment. Parent involvement varies from class to class and student to student. The Faculty and the Staff react the same when a parent wants to get involved in their child's academic life: repulsion, conceitedness, and bothered. Which leads me to believe that both groups discourage parent involvement outside of volunteering to help out. I wouldn't send my child to this school even if it means I have to drive out to Pea Ridge Elementary or home school them.Review East Milton Elementary School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
