I love this school I went there so many years ago.

I feel very great full that I find a school like this one for my special needs kid. All the personnel have a very serious commitment with the special needs and work fast to have a realistic goal with him, is my experience with them. I can see the changes in my son and I’m very happy and impressed how they handled him and understands.

I recently moved my daughter to this school, first time moving schools. After she moved here, she faced lots of racism, she wasn’t learning anything, she has seen over 5 fights over the month she’s been at this school… I had to put her in therapy and she begs me everyday to move her to a different school. The staff are mean, some are nice but most of the staff make her self-esteem low. I wouldn’t recommend this school to any parent and I feel bad for the kids at this school.

We are very happy with Fusion Academy and so is our child! It has only been a few months, but he is thriving in the one-on-one classes and supportive learning environment. We could not be more thrilled.

All of the teachers are very. The school is small but like a family to us.

A wonderful neighborhood school. Very experienced and committed teachers and principal. Lovely community!

This school is amazing my two kids went here and they had the BEST TIME EVER! They would come home everyday saying how much fun they had today in school and that they had made new friends! I would highly recommend this school because it has these WONDERFUL and AMAZING teachers and I couldn’t have found a better school than this one!

I have had three kids through Madison. It was a good school and then the previous administration lacked the ability to run the school. Whoever hired her at APS should be fired. (Personal opinion!) The new administration is fantastic! I have a concern about one of the elective teachers, but overall GREAT SCHOOL!

Recent statements circulating about G.W. Carver Elementary present a misleading and incomplete picture of the school. As a parent and someone who is actively involved in the school community, I’d like to address several claims that do not reflect the school’s current status, performance, or the lived experience of families and students. This clarification is based on firsthand experience, current data, and open communication with staff and administration, rather than outdated assumptions or isolated anecdotes. 1. Claim: The school is overcapacity and class sizes are excessive Clarification: While enrollment has grown, similar to many high-performing schools in Miami-Dade, class sizes remain aligned with district standards. The school continues to meet compliance requirements and remains eligible for admissions as a magnet. Increased enrollment reflects the school’s strong performance and reputation, not poor planning or mismanagement. 2. Claim: There is high staff turnover under current leadership Clarification: Teacher mobility is a national trend, particularly after the pandemic and within competitive districts. Despite this, Carver continues to attract qualified and passionate educators. The administration is highly supportive of staff and takes an active role in retaining talent through mentorship, professional development, and a culture of appreciation. Staff departures occur for a range of reasons and do not indicate instability or a declining environment. 3. Claim: Administration manipulates arguments or information Clarification: Communication from the administration follows district policy, student safety requirements, and legal compliance. Decisions involving staffing, programs, and logistics are data-driven and aligned with what is best for students. The leadership team is exceptionally responsive and transparent, and they demonstrate care, fairness, and professionalism in every interaction. 4. Claim: There is a culture of oppression or withheld information Clarification: Most families experience clear and frequent communication through PTA, SAC, email updates, schoolwide notifications, and opportunities to meet with leadership. The environment is encouraging and collaborative. Parents are invited to participate and contribute, and the administration consistently prioritizes student wellbeing and a healthy school culture.

This school is horrible, they have horrible funding and the school is just nasty in general, do not bring your kids here.

Rampant discrimination, incompetent administration. Only competent administrators have resigned.

I recently graduated from Oborne, and I do have to say it was not a bad school by any means. Most of the teachers were great. There were plenty of school activities to choose from. Troy Jones really did turn the school around; although strict, he is definitely what the school needed.

I think the negative reviews are laughable. The schools here are top in the state and ppl move here just to get their kids in them. We’ve been happy with the support we’ve gotten for our kids from learning deficits to gifted and challenged. Like everywhere’s school is largely what you make of it.

If your child uses the bathroom that gives any teacher the right to stand behind them! Wouldn’t recommend whatsoever

I was there recently and it was a horrible experience. Kids are rude and disrespectful. They dont listen to the subs at all. Staff is nice & friendly but honestly that does not help the environment because it’s still chaos. Kids running, jumping, and cussing all over the school. Fights on campus and on the bus. If you care about your child’s education or being bullied dont send them there. Half the kids in the class dont even speak English or know whats going on so communication is a challenge.
