I LOVED Fruit Cove MS! I'm only a sophomore in high school now, but this school really molded me into the person I am today. The counselors were very helpful and the principal was the best!

I went here a few years back and I gotta say, the education here exceeds expectations. The teachers also really did care about me, my personal goals and my academic goals. The equipment is state of the art and the athletics program is pretty good too. Not to mention the cultural diversity. I had so many friends here that continued with me into high school. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend.

Coming from New England, I’ve realized how lacking Florida schools are. It’s no wonder why the literacy rate in Florida is 7th -8th grade level. Fruit Cove MS has a deficit of adequately qualified teachers and I’m mortified by the low expectations. Test scores here are shameful compared to most stat...

Wonderful school! 5 stars. Administration is excellent. They follow the district code of conduct and have many fun, positive programs like WEB leaders and clubs. My kids enjoy it there and are happy with their teachers.
