If the principal don’t like you as a student she’ll do whatever she can to get you kicked out of the school of if the principal see you getting all the spotlight at the school she’ll get you fired

My kindergartner was promoted into first grade with out knowing how to write numbers 1-10 or the alphabet. I was told they stopped teaching children how to write. They figured they’d just “pick it up” with letter recognition. He was frequently given 20 page packets of homework. I stil cannot figure out for the life of me what they were doing all day at that school. Classroom and recess management was poor at best. My child got stabbed in the head with a pencil. In the same week he also got in trouble for playing tag. The assistant principal decided to open an investigation on who started the game of tag. We were told that it “didn’t matter” what was happening at recess, and there was no point in monitoring recess because they couldn’t take it away as a consequence. “Recess is a right and we can’t take it away because some parents got upset and took it to court.” She told us she was fed up with the school district because they wouldn’t buy her business cards. We are homeschooling.

When I was at Apopka high school, I was only there for three years, as I graduated early. I found there was a distinct lack of qualified educators, and a blatant disregard for student well-being. While I admit I had a few incredible teachers, that knew their subjects, and cared for their students, this was few and dar between. I had a math teacher who didn't even know the subject she was teaching and had to study it to teach us. I failed that class. I, on multiple occasions, was the subject to ridicule and harassment by other students, with concrete evidence (ex. A video posted making fun of me, on an account with the poster's name and face visible), however, every time I brought attention to these issues, nothing ever happened. Yet, I got detention once for being late to my first period because of my bus driver being late. The priorities of the staff are clearly crooked. On top of this, I was invested in an AICE diploma, yet it took three whole years of being there, mere months before my graduation, for my counselor to inform me that test scores coming through AFTER graduation, would mean I wouldn't get that diploma I took 8 Cambridge courses to gain, and I could either not get it, or attend school for another semester or another year. Between hostile students, an unwelcoming environment, underqualified teachers, and zero regard for student wellfare, this school is an absolute joke, and requires extreme revision. If you have any other choice, don't go to Apopka High.
