My experience st this school has been Good. But I do think the kids should have some social time. At least at lunch. Not be assigned seats.

I don’t recommend this school for the simple fact that they had a case against them for racism. I don’t want my child to be in a environment that doesn’t want her there. I had recently moved to florida not to long ago so my daughter can feel a little more comfortable and welcomed. She always complains about how she has to wear the ugly school clothing and how they don’t allow piercings. I personally find it funny because other schools allow piercings and civilian clothes. The grading is also terrible. My daughter came to me and said she was failing math with a 53. After that I told her to keep trying and continue to do her work and ask for extra credit. It took her 3 weeks just to bring her grade up to a 60. I would think she would be at a 71 for how long she worked. For some odd reason, if kids fail it’s because of math. The principal needs to talk to the math teachers about easing up on the work.

This school just got a new principal and I do think some of the issues now are just from going from a person who made that school feel like a family to a person who is only about policy. As most people know with kids, you can’t write a policy to fit every child. My kindergartner is struggling this year and when I approached the school counselor, she said she’d never heard of a child who can get so upset she will make herself sick. As a counselor, a masters is required, she’s never seen a child with anxiety? My fourth grader had the toughest start because last year was such a mess, she was homeschooled for half the year. They retained her off of a test they administered, which I’ve had other teachers tell me are not relevant to what are needed at all. But they refused to look at what work we had done. Did I mention I actually have a teaching license so this wasn’t just going in completely blind to state requirements. We also followed the schools schedule so if I did send her back, she’d be on track. The current principal must have repeated the word policy twenty times and I wish more than anything I’d have fought it. But that’s definitely on me. The biggest issue you’ll find in this county in general is if you don’t have multiple generations here, you’ll probably continue to be the outsiders.
