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.

I am extremely disappointed and concerned with how this school has handled multiple situations involving my son. On several occasions, they have failed to notify me about incidents that put him in danger — including putting him on a bus after another student punched him. The lack of communication and accountability is completely unacceptable.Instead of making sure my child feels safe and supported, the staff has repeatedly accused him of things he didn’t do. In one case, they even reviewed video footage that proved he was innocent — and all they said was “sorry.” No apology to him, no effort to fix the situation, and no plan to prevent it from happening again.To make matters worse, I just found out that my son has four referrals that no one from the school ever contacted me about. As a parent, I should be informed immediately about any disciplinary issues, but that has not happened.My son is being treated like the problem when, in reality, he’s the one being mistreated and made to feel like a criminal in an environment that should be protecting him. This school has completely failed to provide a safe, fair, and supportive learning environment — and as a parent, I’m heartbroken and furious that this is how they are handling the children in their care.
