Compared to jsa, this is amazing. Students are very supportive towards new teachers.

Terrible school, terrible teaching terrible staff they lock the bathrooms and take away the children’s privilege to use it just too bad They turned their Google reviews off with photos. they don’t have safety put in place for these children. There’s not enough staff. There’s not enough room on this facility for this many people. I don’t know how they get away with it. why can’t Port County afford to build new middle schools but yet they can pop up elementary school schools like nothing?? 40+ kids to one teacher?? what are y’all teaching? What are you doing? This school needs to be shut down. My daughter went there in 2023. They were locking the bathrooms. My niece is now currently going there in 2026. Same thing is going on. she runs from the bus stop every day because she has to use the bathroom so bad do you not realize the health problem you are causing these kids ? What about the young ladies on their menstrual cycles that are bleeding on their self because they’re not getting to use the bathroom on time or enough? Polk County school board is trash. This school specifically is extremely trash and should have been shut down years ago. I myself went to this middle school. Polk county is trash. Their school board is trash. Their police are trash if your kid goes to the school. I’m so sorry. Homeschooling is much better and they provide funds.

The worst experience I’ve had with a school. I understand they had to change facilities and everyone was acclimating to the change, but that does not excuse the lack of communication. My daughter’s teacher was fantastic and excellent at communicating (she of course went to another school). My son’s teacher changed and I never heard anything from his new teacher. He was harmed regularly at school by other kids because the teacher had zero control. He was stabbed in the face by another child with a pencil and the office called me to tell me. They told me the teacher would be calling to explain and she never did. I hope in the future they’re able to better staff the school so teachers aren’t so overwhelmed, but I wouldn’t recommend this school.
