The school is a good school my daughter loved her time and the teachers work with those who seek it. Parent University offered at the school helped to better help my child. They are not the top school but they work hard for our kids. My daughter enjoyed the ballroom dancing as did many of her friends. I am now after five years out of the district but Kreamer and FPL were good experiences for my child and they deserve acknowledgement for what they do to give our kids a good foundation and caring for them as they grow.

Terrible school. Genius' don't have anything to do and are BORED. There are a couple of nice teachers. Kids have to play with building blocks when it rains. There is barely any balls outside. They reward kids who play soccer with lollipops and ice pops while kids who don't play soccer and kickball just watch. Kids are forced to ballroom dance. And are supposed to not be reluctant and be like awesome at it. Then when that's all over, when they get to go to gym and music again, they get to square dance! This is a terrible school
