This school has proven to be a disappointing experience for my children. They often return home upset and frustrated, which raises serious concerns about the environment they are in. Despite its reputation as one of the better options available, I find it difficult to endorse this institution.The atmosphere at the school is troubling, characterized by frequent fights and arguments among students. Additionally, there seems to be a lack of respect for authority, as many students openly talk back to teachers. This behavior not only disrupts the learning process but also creates an unsafe environment for all.Overall, I cannot recommend this school. While it may be one of the few viable options for my children, the negative experiences they face outweigh any potential benefits. It is my belief that no child should have to endure such an environment.

i have disabilities like autisim and others and the teachers are in th iddle im now in 8th grade and i miss this school

It was the worst school I have ever been to in my life

My son has gone to village green elementary for several years. He likes it, my husband and I do also. No complaints. He has gone since kindergarten, he is now if 4th. No complaints here!

As a community member, I see that the staff and administrators at Parkway are phenomenal with the students. They work tirelessly to help student a make gains and build in social-emotional time to help counteract the negative ascents of bullying. They teach see something, say something. They also use social emotional time to have emotional check is with students and validate their feelings. Lessons from Sanford Harmony are provided for each grade level to help build a single school culture. Great things are happening and academic gains are being made. It is taking time, but it is happening. Don’t discount this school, it’s staff, and especially it’s students.

School does not follow IEP plans. Insists their guidance counselor knows more that a licensed psychologist. They do not communicate with the parents at all. We will be filing a civil rights complaint with the Florida department of education

This is the best elementary school in the entire district. We’re so happy to that our grandson was given this school assignment. Excellent principal, vice principal, teachers. Most engaged educators I have met in all the St Lucie county schools.

This is actually a good school I honestly dont know what these reviews are bc they honestly have the best learning experience and the things they teach are immaculate they also have a good punishment program

Teachers don't seem to care about their students, and the entire class faces consequences for the mistakes of a few. Bullying isn't taken seriously, while minor issues like chewing gum are prioritized.Students with mental health problems, such as depression, often don't get the support they need. The principal and vice principal are rarely nice to students but may act pleasant to parents. The school's facilities are outdated, and resources are limited. Classrooms lack modern technology, and the library has a poor selection of books. Extracurricular activities are lacking and poorly organized. Communication between the school and parents is often poor, with important information not being shared in a timely manner.The curriculum feels outdated and doesn't prepare students adequately for higher education. There is a lack of emphasis on critical thinking and creativity. Standardized testing is overly prioritized, creating a stressful environment for students. The school's approach to discipline is also problematic. Instead of fostering a positive atmosphere, the administration relies heavily on punitive measures that don't address the root causes of behavioral issues. This can be particularly damaging for students with unique needs or those facing personal challenges.Support for students with autism is inadequate. The lack of specialized programs and trained staff means these students often don't receive the attention and assistance they need to thrive. The school fails to implement individualized education plans (IEPs) effectively, leading to frustration for students with autism and their families. If a student is defending themselves against another student who is about to hurt them, they are likely to get in trouble. This policy discourages students from standing up for themselves and creates an environment where students feel unsafe and unsupported. Moreover, if you stand up for yourself or your friends who didn't do anything, you might get in trouble, especially if your friends have mental health problems like trauma. The school seems to punish students for actions that teachers verbally encourage, adding to confusion and stress.One of the only nice people at the school is the nurse. She shows genuine care and concern for the students, offering much-needed support. Students can also get in trouble for something someone else does, which is incredibly frustrating and unfair.

Watch out for that Creative photo teacher.
