What Parents Should Know

As a private school, Sweetbay Montessori School operates independently from the local public school district.

Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Why doesn't this school have a score?

We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. Private schools in FL aren't required to report standardized test scores to the state, which limits the data available for our rating model.
