Esther's School 4400 70th Avenue North, Pinellas Park, FL 33781

"School it's so awesome and the teachers are nice"

"This is the most terrible school ever !!! Put my daughter here in first grade because she was behind in public school. She was here 1st-2nd grade and In all the time that she was going to the school she never learned how to read or do anything !! She did not have a teacher for the entire school year of second grade. The teachers there are not certified teachers they are parents of the kids at school and just get paid to sit in the classroom with kids but they don’t actually teach them anything. My daughter was sitting in a small little room in the corner with self-paced books expected to do work when she was not even reading. The school is pure child abuse on education!! The kids have to sit at their desk all day they’re not allowed to turn around and talk to each other or get up and move around. There are no extracurricular activities there’s no PE there’s no art and music nothing they let them walk around in the grass for what they call PE. They rent out a few rooms at the church and sit the kids in there all day long without any certified teachers curriculum or structure . The principal there Deborah called the kids stupid and other names to employees working there. Bus driver quit working there couldn’t stand how kids were treated and a bunch of parents took there kids out of there and everyone says no way in hell would I let my kids go there they treat the kids awful!!! It’s funny even the speech and occupational therapist there told me if they had kids they would not have them go there . Kids barely have pencils like where is all the money going??! Anyways stay far away from this school my daughter is now having to start over in kindergarten books in 3rd grade because this school destroyed her education!!!!!!"

"Poor education system, disrespectful staff, and questionable safety regulations."

"This school does not treat their children properly and instead they treat them poorly. Myra Chavis (Office Manager) tries to take advantage of the other employees money, and owner does not care and screams at everyone. Think before you come to this school!"

"We choose Esther's because it was a small school and they focus on the child's individual learning giving them time to process and the tools they need to succeed. The environment is one that is relaxed and non-threatening to the child. This is my son's second year and it's been the most positive experience he has had in a school environment. I don't have to worry that my son will be unattended, bullied or left behind. The teachers and staff are all very nice. They allow the child to pace themselves and learn at their own pace."
