I have never sent my kids to a school like this, but I guarantee they WILL NOT return next year. My oldest son has disabilities and was supposed to have an IEP, it is almost the middle of the school year and he still doesn't have one. His original teacher quit within the first month of school and they have not been able to replace her. I had no point of contact for a teacher conference, no contact about his grades or performance. I have other kids in this school as well and they have good teachers, but the kids are very unruly and some are foul mouth with little to no consequence from what I have seen and heard from my kids. My oldest came home with a shank made from a mechanical pencil and a broken ruler. I was absolutely appalled. My children are not happy at this school. The uniforms are a problem too because they are khakis and a specific few colors of collared shirts. The problem I have with this is buying four of these uniforms gets expensive and when its time to buy new ones because the old ones are worn it is just too high of a price to buy so many. At my kids other schools they could wear whatever they wanted (inside of the normal dress code) and I could find those regular clothes at yard sales, goodwill, and second hand shops so they were not so expensive. Kids have few choices in the world, why take away the few they have? This school is absolutely dysfunctional with the exception of a few good teachers and staff who DO NOT get paid enough, I am sure, to do what they do and put up with all that goes on in this place. I will never send my kids back to this school again. Just as soon as this year is over (IF THEY PASS DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS) I will be sending them to a better school...if there are any in Duval county.

To be completely honest, this school tried to keep me here (Ex-Student). The only reason im NOT there any more is because my FATHER HAD TO CALL THE SCHOOL TO GET THE PAPER WORK. They said it was done on May 26th, yet they never called nor e-mailed like they said that they did. I was bullied here, and got my money and items stolen, over 100$ worth. It is not safe for many people, considering there was also a threat that someone was going to shoot up the school. I would not recommend sending your child here. I only transferred recently to a different school. My experience here sucked. The school didn't do much to the issue i presented to them. I only trust a few people there. So please, either keep your child away or send them to a different school.

Great school for my kids they have learned alot
