Administration is not receptive to informed and knowing constructive advice that would make the school better and safer for all who attend.

Lack of proper communication.Lack of following procedure that they themselves suggest.If you have a special needs please avoid their CSS and do your research. My son was so frail, thin and covered with bruises from incorrect procedures (have the emails to back this up)If you yourself are a special needs adult this will make it even worse. For your child’s safety and your own peace of mind look elsewhere.My son regressed in feeding, potty and refused any cups. They tried to put multiple changes on him in a short time. I pulled him out early after witnessing with my own eyes them being negligent on school grounds and confirming with his bus that when they pick him up what I saw is what they also see even tho they stated themselves in email it would not occur again. My son has regained his lost weight no longer waking up screaming in terror and is on day three of his sippy cup. I’m autistic myself and I will be a voice to reckon with when it comes to my youngest until he can speak fully for himself. I’ve seen put in the paperwork to transfer him so hopefully I can have peace of mind when he returns to school in the fall. The school was unable to apologize for their actions and instead stated they were sorry for miscommunication to which I said there was none you guys said to do such and such to help the backpack after he was badly bruised from the weight of it on his small body and you guys did not. Since you guys are unable to take responsibility, I have no intentions of letting this go until a formal apology is given for the schools negligence.

Our family has had a great experience at Mayport Coastal Sciences Middle School. It was apparent to us on day one how invested the teachers and staff are in caring for and teaching these students. The staff there work hard to create a great learning environment and unique opportunities through clubs, in-class projects, and community involvement. The hands-on responsibilities of caring for and understanding the marine life provide them with not only a rich learning environment but, real-life skills. From their academics to extracurricular opportunities, Mayport is a great environment that is welcoming and supportive. I've seen first-hand the dedication of the teachers and staff there to ensure a positive and enriching environment.
