I love this school. We just moved to Florida from Louisiana a few months ago. My daughter attends first grade at W.E. Cherry. I love the staff and the students. We had so much good experience at the school so far..no issues at all. I am glad my daughter attends this school.

This school has issues with bullying. It came as a surprise to our family. We thought the school had a better reputation than that. Beware!!
