I would rate my experience at this school as an average experience. The administrative stuff and the teachers are really nice and helpful. The security is screaming at the students to move. One gets used to it.. The school offers all kinds of clubs, nobody has to feel left out. The level of education is truly not the best, many kids are on their phones during class or cheat on tests, there's almost no homework for non IB students. That has to change. There were some fights, especially at the end of the school year, because kids got bored. In overall Terry Parker High School is an okay school, which can still improve.

We just moved to Jacksonville from Miami Fl and honestly have never had a issue with anything in Jacksonville until I had to enroll my child in school let me start off with the enrolling process I enrolled my daughter and afterwards called the school to make sure I did everything correctly someone at the school told to bring in the documents to complete the registration so I ended up going to school and was told no you have to upload so went in the car and tried to upload the documents but there was no where to upload the document so i called the school and she told me because I did the registration already there was another way I had to upload but she just didnt know how to I finally figured itout by myself orrientation come which was nice but I wanted to confirm that my daughter was registered so kady took my name my childs name and my number and said she would called me and guess what no one called me I had to call the school every day and my child was not even in the system and people would tell me they would call me and I would never get a call back then when I tried to register my child for the bus they told me I could not register her for the bus because my child is not enrolled so now I am really nervous because its just me and my child in Jacksonville I have to work some days and now how is my child suppose to get to school then I order my child uniforms which you can only get from a specific place which is is not a issue but I order it July 20th and now the place may not have it ready until after school starts and now I have to go buy plain red polo shirts that my child cant even wear to school again after the uniforms are delivered to the school this is a nightmare and wish I had another option for schools in my area

This school is full of bullying and they trespass the parents when they come to address the issues with the school vs using common sense and being reasonable they get on the radio and call for the school police to have you escorted out the building.Education and Safety are not a priority at this school because they allow other children to be left in the classroom to become a distraction to others and their learning experience because they are not able to enforce the rules set forth in the Student Code Of Conduct Handbook set for by the Duval County Public Schoolboard to ensure the safety of the children and staff at the school,This is an ongoing issue and many children are suffering on a daily basis but the district does have an Anti-Bullying Policy that's not being adhered to.I can't name a child that's capable of learning while distracted nor one that's interested in a classroom at this school when once they arrive "Your the new guy" so they are going to bully you.....never heard of it until we got to this school.Yes,I have been more than reasonable with reaching out to speak with someone,I think 3-4 times in a 2 week span is more than enough to combat bullying especially when it's a hinderance to my child's academic progress.Until they address bullying at this school,Please look in other places or your child to will have a "Hope Scholarship" which in return will hinder the parent because you will need to provide your own transportation to and from the new school but your child wasn't the issue in the first place it's just a way to get you on your way because your the parent complaining about the bullying at the school that the Principal and teachers are both aware of but they can't do much about it and the school police does not get involved with discipline.2022-2023 School year (November 2022)
