This is the first year my children have gone to private school. This is the first year my daughter who is 6 and in 1st grade LOVES school and cannot wait to go back. This is the first year after 2 not so good years that my son LOVES school again and is excites about it! EPA has been nothing but the best since I filled out the application! They are kind and friendly. They are helpful and understanding. The teachers communicate effectively and are there for the kids, truly caring. I am so glad I made the leap of faith to take my kids out of public school and send them here! Best decision ever!

The staff here are rude dont come here ever

Don’t enroll your kids here. The school has old outdated (donated) books. You will be charged a book rental fee for a book that was published 15-20 years ago. Most of the students are behind one or more grade levels because the teachers teach whatever they want due to not having a curriculum in place. Everything is about making a profit. They charge for everything. They have a lot of behavior problems which takes a lot of time away from learning. Enroll your kids in a public school so they can really learn.

My childrens have been attending EPA for the last 4 years. Started with my oldest who is now 8yr to my youngest who just turned 5. My experience here have been nothing but greatness. Starting from a secured school with lock door which you need a code to enter. To having cameras all over the campus, and very clean I might say... The principal is a very nice lady who works with you in all aspects. She runs her school on a strict level. You dont see and fights or disrespect. And if you ever went to a public school you can see the huge differences. The teachers are very dedicated to each students, they work with your child even on a individual level. They have lots of different activity to match you own child need. I have no complaint when it come to EPA! The whole staff is awesome, and very dedicated. I feel like I luck out sending my childrens to this school I know they are getting the best education, my babies love their school!!

I do not recommend this school. I visited here looking for information About 8 months ago they sent me to apply for the scholarship, they gave me a package of papers to fill with personal information and they separated me a place for my girl. After sending a thousand papers to Step Up For Students and a thousand different excuses finally approved the scholarship now this irresponsible without words have no space. And he doesnt answer what they are going to do with my personal information?

Im not happy with this school at all. Very impersonable staff and just overall lacking in communication with parents. I cant wait for this school year to be over, my son will not be going here next year. Follow your first mind parents, go to Pine Castle right down the street.

I have been a teacher at Elite for going on 5 years. In the time Ive been there it has been nothing short of a positive experience. MS. Hong the principal has been the most kindest and understanding women Ive ever worked for. Anything we as teachers or kids need she tries her best to get for us. If she sees children that have raggedy clothes she buys them so.e better clothes. If kids are hungry she feeds them. On the weekends she ships for those kids that need help. Anytime a parent has struggled with payment or a home situation she has always provided resources to help them. Weve had teachers in the past say there were no resources. There was they just never asked. Love my school!

This School was the best School, 2 years ago. Now I dont even know whats going on. But, Im going Straight to the Point and is that I really dont understand how this School is so big now and doesnt have a maintenance that could Clean the School. This School is Nasty and Dirty all Around. The front Offices is always a mess were she cant even find anything that we ask from our Child and its Sad. Oh and by the way I have Pictures of every Hallway that is Dirty! Have a Great Day

This school used to be the best school in central Florida. Now I don’t know what’s going on, now it’s like a bunch of chickens in a yard. No rules. Kids come to school dirty. Teachers cursing. Kids cursing. No matter what the kids say or how they come to school no consequences. The kids have no respect for the teachers. So no matter what is done there is no disciplinary action. When it comes to security measures .... there is none whatsoever, people just walk in and go wherever. It lacks faith, lack of Christianity, no teaching of GOD or anything. I do not recommend this school!!

When I went there I had a great time. I started when I was in 1st grade and ended in 3rd grade. I am now in 6th grade, but I can still tell you this school was great. I had straight As and had a 30 minute drive every day. If you are reading this than yo should send your kid to EPA.

My twin girls have had the pleasure of attending Elite Preparatory Academy for two years. Our experience has been spectacular. The staff truly tend to the childrens’ needs and are very compassionate. The school embraces the personalities of ALL children and inspire creativity, imagination and intellectual growth.I am grateful for all the lessons learned at this fine establishment!

This school is terrible, thank God the District is investigating them. My godson goes there. They charged late fee when the kids seat outside to wait for their parents. They have the uniform lady teaching astronomy to the kids. Its a family business. Teachers are quitting left and right. Its all about making money for them. A little boy died over there also. They shouldnt be open. They are a danger to kids. They dont learn anything, my friend said they made her pay 3x the amount for a walmart jacket. Sick and sorry people. Dont put your kids there.

I see the negative reviews and i just dont understand it. My son has bedn attending EPA for 2 years. He has some disabilities but finally has learned to write and read in this school, there are always consequences and everytime i bring a concern i feel they listened and took actions. The teachers that my son has had have worked with him to meet his needs and have helped him tremendously to be better and behave better. I have never seen the school dirty nor have i ever had a complaint. They work with you and for you. They always have something good going on. I just dont understand how people dont get their way and go on leaving bad reviews that are not even true!!!

I had a tour at the ELITE PREPARATORY ACADEMY today, and I was very DISAPPOINTED. This school website look good then when you step in the school is completely different than the picture they portray on the website. I WALKED IN THE LADY AT THE FRONT DESK DRESSED UNPROFESSIONAL AND WAS IN FLIP FLOPS, SHE WAS TALKING TO A LADY AND DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ME OR ANYTHING, I WAITED 10 MNS BEFORE SHE ACTUALLY SAID GIVE ME A FEW MNS WHICH LAST ANOTHER 9 TO 12MNS. BUT I WAITED BC I DIDNT WANT TO JUDGE TOO SOON. THEN SHE STARTED SHOWING ME THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS ROOMS, THE TEACHERS ARE NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL, I SAID HI NEITHER ONE OF THEM SAID HI BACK OR EVEN SMILE, I WANTED TO STOP TOURING IMMEDIATELY... AND THE CLASS ROOMS ARE DIRTY AND HAD A BAD SMELL, I NOTICED SOME OF THE KIDS UNIFORMS ARE DIRTY AT 9:40 IN THE MORNING SMH. THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND I COULD ALREADY TELL THERE ARE NO RULES AND EVERYONE DOES WHAT THEY WANT. THE KIDS ARE NOT SAFE AT ALL... EVERYTHING LOOK SOOOO OFF I FELT SICK FOR THE KIDS THERE AND MIND YOU IM TRYING TO ENROLL MY CHILD AND THE SCHOOL IS VERY CLOSE TO ME... IF YOU CHARGE PEOPLE OVER $11000 FOR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM. THE SCHOOL NEED TO BE CLEAN, PEOPLE NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL AND LOOK PROFESSIONAL. THE FRONT DESK LOOK UNORGANIZED, AND THE CHAIRS LOOK OLD AND DIRTY. I hardly leave reviews but I PAID ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY IF MY CHILD GOING TO BE INVOLVED. AND as I was telling my husband about the school I felt people need to know and be VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL WHEN ENROLLING YOUR KIDS TO WHAT SO CALL PRIVATE SCHOOLS. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. YOUR KIDS MIGHT BE SUFFERING AT THESE SCHOOLS ESPECIALLY THAT SCHOOL FROM MY EXPERIENCE. MY FRIEND VISITED THE SCHOOL TOO, SHE FELT THE SAME WAY... THESE KIDS ARE BABIES AND DONT KNOW NOTHING, PARENTS PLEASE ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR DAYS AT SCHOOL etc etc , call to check up on them regularly and pop ups As often as you can, get involved in your kids school... Anyway THIS SCHOOL NEED SOME GOOD INVESTIGATION. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. BE CAREFUL PARENTS.

I am very picky...as us mothers should be ;)... theres nothing like EPA. My son has been there going on 2 years and I wont change for the world. The principal if flawless. She is hands on and has everyones best interest. I am a proud of my sons growth and owe it to everyone at EPA!!!

This school is a joke they practically kicked my son out of this school after 10 days due to his autism. Which I issued them his IEP and everything on the IEP was current and accurate I even brought him over so they can meet him before he started and in the IEP it stated that he needed extra attention but nobody decided to read his IEP which they mentioned to me that it was important because they needed to go over it and see if it meant their criteria. 10 days later I was in formed he had to leave and they didnt even allow me to find another school for him.mind you I just moved to Kissimmee and wasnt familiar with all the schools and all the schools with special needs were already full. I felt so hurt the principal was like sorry but not sorry deal with it she just didnt care but I ended up putting my son in a public school Discovery INTERMEDIATE school which turned out amazing his Teacher loves him his class is super comfortable. He is learning tremendously he is 11 years old in the 6th grade. And I will never allow a school to make my son or I feel unwanted due to his disabilities shame on you elite Preparatory Academy its your loss and my sons gain he is a loving and caring child however I must say his Teacher Mrs.z was Genuinely kind to my son and I.It was the principal who made that decision but God is good and my son is in a school he is wanted and loves.

I thought this school was amazing!!!! Until one day my daughter started having nitemares about a which. Come to find out they scare children who misbehave with a “ wickedity witch “ as my daughter would call it . She was only in vpk. Please be careful with your children and always ask them about their day.

My son has attended this school since kindergarten. My son is now in the 3rd grade and skipped 2nd grade this year. He has had nothing but straight As and very happy with the staff bc they are very friendly, helpful, and any concern they have with my child they always bring it up to me. This school is the best. My son has learned so much and still is everyday!! Ms. Hong, (Principal) is very nice I love her!! The drive to the school is quite a drive for me but its WELL WORTH IT!
