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.

My daughter started here at the end of 1st grade. I'm not sure if it was because the school year was almost over, but the teacher and staff seemed very closed off and hardly communicated with us, regarding schoolwork, some kind of orientation for my daughter. At the start of her 2nd grade year, the staff seemed more organized and was open to answer any questions. Her teacher was amazing and communicated very well with the parents. Overall, I am very happy with the school now. I believe they were in transition from the COVID years and were rebuilding a supportive staff. The principal and teachers I encounter are friendly and genuinely care about the students. I am content with my daughter's academic progress and she loves her friends and teachers .
