(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is a poor school with poor teachers and staff...... not happy at all!! Really thought moving to Boca would have better schools for my children. (far from the truth) I think these teachers need to be more seasoned....

- I love Whispering Pines Elementary! The teachers' and office staff are the best.
My daughter, attended this school for three years and is now in middle school.
She is doing excellent A's + B's and I owe it all to the teachers' at Whispering Pines. My son is now in second grade at the school and doing wonderful as well.The school is great! All the teachers' have such a love for teaching. They have the best teachers, ESE program, media specialist, fine arts program, office staff and last but not least the best Asst.Principal and the best Principal I have ever come in contact with. Everyone is so supportive when it comes to educating our children.
Thank you Whispering Pines for all you do.
