Sarasota Military Academy
Ruthmary Estabrook: This school is the best thing to happen to schools. I hava one son there and my daughter who goes to Pine view plans to change schools to go there in 9th grade.. People can learn alot from the type of structure this provides a child. When times are so tough socially in a childs life this school defines structure and a consistanecy for kids that we somehow have lost in our society. 5 stars.

Tclancy1979: We had to pull my daughter out of her previous school she was so unhappy, and unbalanced. This has been her first week back to school and it has truly the happiest I have seen my child in over a year. She is a freshman this year. Everyone made her feel very welcome students and facuilty. This school hands down is allready been a blessing for my daughter and for us!
