We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Myakka is excellent with both of my boys. And with their sister.Both may boys have disabilities and they were there to help me and help them get through everything. They referred my children to be seen by a specialist so that I can get a better idea of what's going on with them with every meeting and everything that took place between my children, such as meetings and IEP's, they were there I was there they always involved me and everything, it is absolutely amazing. I love Myakka and that's the only school that I want my children to attend

Myakka River Elementary is an amazing school. I currently have two students who go there and they both love it. The teachers and the staff are always so welcoming and nice.
