Dommerich Elementary School Reviews

Saying this school is one of the best in the county out of a county that is ranked 49th out of 70 is not a ringing endorsement! To take it to another level, Florida schools are one of the worst in the country. It is what it is. A public school and the teachers cannot do anything about behavior problems for fear of alienating a kid's rights.So they just turn the other cheek. Kids do what they want because there is no consequence for bad behavior. Free and reduced lunch has steadily increased at Dommerich and is directly correlated to FCAT scores.

This school is one of the best schools in the county. I was honored to do my senior internship here. The staff is amazing, caring, and positive. You could not find a better atmosphere for a child to grow and learn in. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for best education!!

My daughter has gone to Dommerich for two years. The teachers are dedicated and caring teachers who continue to find innovative ways to teach. The principal is very involved and is a great example of a leader. SAC is well attended and sets high goals for the school. There is a running club in the morning three days a week, and after school golf lessons twice a week. Strings is offered for 4th and 5th graders. The music teacher is wonderful and puts on several shows a year. The Library is well stocked and the media specialist runs a clever news program each morning. Parents are encouraged to help in every area and it shows! The parent involvement is phenomenal and so is the PTA. The physical building is old, but is scheduled to be rebuilt in the next two years. Safety and discipline are stressed! Great School!

A lackluster school with terrible physical facilities. Poor leadership from the top down. Our neighborhood has several kids that transferred to Catholic and other private schools who seem to be much more progressed in areas of math, science and reading.

One of the reasons why this school is always an A school is the parent involvement that is evident in the classroom and through the schools PTA. The teachers really care about their students and the parents hold the teachers responsible and accountable for upholding a strong learning environment. We have been truly blessed to be part of this school environment.

I'm disappointed in the email response time of many teachers, however I believe overall it is a good school. I also think the strings program is a great opportunity for the students and am impressed with the level of parent involvement.

Excellent teachers, poor administrators. My children enjoyed the strings program offered for 4th and 5th grade. High parent involvement.

Well, I am not a parent, but I graduated from Dommerich in 1995. The memories I have of Dommerich still make smile whenever I think about the awesome teachers, staff, and school atmosphere. I truly believe that the elementary years are a crucial milestone in the life of a person, and I know that Dommerich has played a role in helping me to be the driven person I am today. Thank you Dommerich!

Dommerich continues to challenge my kids to use higher level thinking skills and not just rote facts. The teachers are among the finest in the county, if not the state, and are allowed to do their job with the tremendous support of parents. My kids love this school and the tight-knit, caring community.
