My child went to this school for one year and we couldn't get her out of the fast enough! Her teacher was horrible. She learned absolutely nothing that year. The teacher had no control over the class. It was wild every time I was there. The office staff was horrible. They treated you like you were

My child has gone to this school since 1st grade and is now in 4th grade. Everyone I've met over the past years has always been enthusiastic. The school is back to being an A school again and I see the constant improvement despite cutbacks. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone.

We have been very happy with Clarcona Elementary. Our son has been there 3 years and each year he's had a teacher that goes above and beyond. The school could use some cosmetic work, but it is an older school and somewhat to be expected. The office staff is always friendly and willing to help us in any

I currently have 2 children at this school. My son has been there for 3 years and my daughter for 2. I loved my sons kindergarten and 1st grade teacher. My daughter had the same teacher for kindergarten as well. However, the school itself is filthy and over crowded. On first sight you see mold and paint

We're in FL so it rains quite often. I consider the school unsafe. I have visited the school often during the day and watch as kids play in a retention pond. Some hang out near the road and I have seen balls roll in the direction of oncoming cars while pulling in. This school has tons of portables and individual buildings. Read less

I must say that for all the accolades this school has been give it has been a big disappointment. My childs teacher has no control over the class what-so-ever.

My child attended for two years. There was a serious problem with bullying and not much was done about it. The school is of 'poor' standards.

The staff seemed to be almost secretive regarding activities rather than enthusiastically accepting dual parent involvement. This does not impress me. Especially since the school motto alleges teamwork between the school and parents to be their creed.

Quality of academic programs are good. There are a lot of improvement plans for students who are struggling. There is music and art, but no sports or other extracurricular activities. Level of parent involvement is poor and the attitudes of the administrative staff is poor.

My child has been going since Kindergarden. Her teachers have gone to great lengths to assist her in learning and also coping with anything that may come up. Whether it be a problem she doesn't understand or if something is upsetting her. They teach a wide variety of subjects as in English, Math,
... Read more Social Studies, etc. They have PE also, encouraging excercise and team work. If a problem comes up, they let the parents know to assist the child and also inform the parents of anything that will assist the child in school to improve their education. The school is in a good location away from traffic and also nonaccessible to troublemakers wanting to trash the school. Their goal is to have a safe, education atmosphere making it more fun and safe for the children to concentrate on their learning. I highly recommend this school. Parents and children are always welcome. Read less
