I am a 6th grader and I am in my 12 weeks of school at Progress Village, and I love it! I am for the first time excited to go to school every day. The teachers, staff, and students are all so great witch makes it even better. Also, there is a wide variety of electives (theatre, culinary, art, chorus, etc.) Which you can't get at many other schools in the Tampa area. I love this school and recommend it to anyone who likes art and wants a good middle school experience.
