I don’t know what is wrong with this school! It was horrible I mean hooooorrrribleeee! The students disrespectful and ghetto. Teacher rude, disrespectful and always thinking they the parents of the child. Don’t get me started on the deans and principals. Mr. Erico don’t act like no damn principle. Deans and assistants principle act like they don’t want this job neither. They wouldn’t let me into school multiple times just because I had crocs on. Which is ridiculous! They are more worried about dress code than education. I would not recommend sending your child to Westside middle school in Jacksonville Florida.

We recently relocated here from another state and without a doubt the teachers are great! They are all very friendly and helpful. However the secretary was not so much. There was a dilemia with enrollment which was ok however the secretary was very rude and unhelpful. There was no welcoming of my child, I was not informed that the students had to wear uniforms (until another parent approached me). I didnt get to meet the principal or shake her/his hand, the secretary could not tell me who my childs teacher was, she didnt give us a tour or show us around. There was no welcoming or assistance of any sort. She had a very non enthuisastic approach. Almost an attitude of not wanting to be there. If she doesnt want to be there- I would be glad to take her place!! However, the teacher that gave us the tour was awesome!! She introduced us to everyone, was helpful, friendly, informative. Thank your to the teachers for the warm welcoming they all deserve kudos!!!

I’m extremely disappointed with how Ed White High School handled a recent incident involving my younger sister.A staff member repeatedly misgendered my sister after being corrected and later referred to her as transgender. This was disrespectful not only to my sister, but also to the broader LGBTQ+ community. Educators are expected to de-escalate situations and model professionalism — not escalate or demean students.What’s most troubling is that my sister was disciplined immediately and multiple times, while the adult involved faced no visible accountability. This creates the appearance of bias and raises serious concerns about how student complaints are handled versus how staff behavior is addressed.Instead of focusing on accountability and transparency, the school’s response felt dismissive and defensive. That erodes trust between families and the institution that’s supposed to protect and educate children.I hope the administration reflects on this situation, takes appropriate corrective action, and prioritizes respect, fairness, and student well-being moving forward.
