So, is Genesis worth it?

lsrichards
I'm really very up-in-the-air with private vs. public mainly because of the predominance of the FCAT. Living in Trinity offers few choices for private schools so I really only have Genesis as my private school option. I'm not thrilled with the overall look of the elementary school nor the reviews. Right now, I'm leaning towards public so I am wondering if anyone else can tell me if paying 8k/yr is worth it overall?
Thank you!

My sister's children go the elementary school in Trinity area. It is on Mitchell road. She is extremely happy with the school. She and I are both attorneys and we are very involved with both our children's education. She had a child in genesis and would only recommend it if your child was not zoned for the trinity elementary schools. Her son won their third grade science fair and is going to district. Their teacher was very involved with that competition. They have a pod system. Which means children are placed in the education level and not their grade level per se. My nephew would go to classes with children a year older than him for math. However, he was at level with reading. This way, your child is challenged if he is a year ahead in reading or math.

I have friends who live in Pasco and have heard good things about several of the elementary schools in Pasco County. Have you had an opportunity to visit the schools that you would be assigned to personally and meet the staff? I am not familiar with Genesis, so I can't comment on it.

I also would suggest that you use the research and compare as recommended by healthy11. I took the liberty of performing a query for you:

www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/cs_compare/fl/?level=e&area=d&district=51&sortby=name&tab=over&begin=0&showall=1

Best wishes.

Unfortunately, Greatschools is a nationwide forum, and I'm not sure how many parents are from New Port Richey, who might have experience with Genesis, and can answer your question. Have you tried using the "Research and Compare" feature, by clicking on the green menu bar near the top of this page?
