Downtown Doral Charter Elementary school

My two kids have assisted for 2 years in this wonderful school, they are so Happy… and as a Latin mother I am satisfied that they can speak, read and write both languages (English & Spanish)

These two years has been wonderful – we can see how our son has been growing academically, socially, and emotionally. We continue to be impressed with the level of teaching and caring that all the school staff provides. We love this school

Everything that shines is not gold”
Please do not get distracted by their waste of resources in decorating the school with “happy themes”, or with their “perfect uniform code” or with their “Friday Fiesta” welcoming the kids with music or with their standardized test scores, which they only cared for.

When the two head of schools are disrespectful towards your kids or yourself, do not set the well manner citizen standards to their teachers and therefore students! What type of environment do you think your kid will be at and learning from? Their bad manners are translated into how the teachers treat your kids (there had been reported cases of verbally abusive teachers) and hence in the way kids, classmates treat each other. In addition to that they are always learning in a rush, kids do not have time to assimilate what they learn, they do not have recess time, and they justify this by stating they have a very strict agenda. If your kids do well is their merit, if your kids do bad get ready to be blamed. They only care about keeping the school A Ranking. If you want to provide feedback one of the most common head of school answers is: “if you do not like the school you can go pick another one.” As you can see they leave a lot to be desired in terms of forming well rounded citizens.
If you are a parent that cares about a well rounded education to your kids this is not the school for you.
This is a warning message to all parents who believe this is THE school for their kids.
Make your research, think it twice, go experience it yourself at the park, or the pick up or drop off hour were they are not pretending to be nice.
Good Luck!

A great school with a very professional staff.

It really is an excellent school, I have my two children in this school in first grade and in fourth grade, it is our third year in school and we love it. If it is a stronger curriculum because it is a bilingual program but they balance it with the variety of fun activities they do during the year.The staff of the school are very friendly all are very human,Teachers are amazing, caring and dedicated.
