The teachers and staff in this school work hard to ensure the students are happy, engaged and fully immersed in their learning experience.

Staff are at doors in the morning as students arrive. Staff look unhappy and frustrated. No good morning or smiles to students. Especially the dean that stands at doors at the drop off at the south entrance ( the drop off near cobra pride way. No smiles from her! Annoyance written on her face. Really think about this! She is the first face that some students see in the morning! My child has mentioned several times how teachers have CNN on in their classroom during the entire period. A lot of homework. I agree with homework but the amount given is ridiculous. The student/teacher ratio is off and homework overload appears to be teacher solution to having too many students - give them the work to be completed in class to do at home plus their typical homework.Sports: girls soccer coaches- is this volunteer or are you making a side hustle fee? These girls are losing respect for you. Life is hard and at the end of the day we are tired us parents understand but you signed up for this and if you can't commit and teach and coach these girls then let it go. My daughter and I have attended each game because she is interested in playing and I see no passion in the two coaches. I see exhaustion in the and the team being torn to pieces on the field by their opposing team. On a positive note- the principal does appear to genuinely care! He listens and cares for his students, staff and school. He is genuinely proud! I hope he reads this and considers making a few changes.Also, guidance counselors seem to be in there for the right reasons! Thank you for treating our students with respect and being a listening ear for them. You are appreciated!I will choose that I would recommend this school because there is potential!

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

Terrible school kids get bullied and told the school not to sit my kid next to two kids still happening and now the two boys are TOUCHING HER and the school tells my daughter when she complains to suck it up and deal with it.. Northport allows kids to be touched here please take your kid elsewhere

This is the worst school my child has attended, both academically and in terms of student safety.My 9-year-old daughter was physically assaulted by multiple students while riding the school bus. This occurred during school-supervised transportation, yet there was a failure to immediately protect her or properly intervene. As a result, my child was injured, required hospital treatment, a police report was filed, and legal representation was retained.Beyond safety concerns, the academic environment has also been consistently disappointing. There is a lack of consistency, accountability, and effective support for students. Communication with staff has not resulted in meaningful improvement.No parent should fear for their child’s safety at school, nor feel concerned about the quality of education being provided. Based on our experience, this school has failed in both areas.I strongly urge parents to carefully consider other options and to advocate strongly for their children if they are enrolled here. Student safety and academic standards must be taken seriously.

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.
