Atlantic Beach Elementary School

The worse experience in elementary yet! This is my 3rd child, so not new to the game. There is zero support and the teachers all cover for each other. We have experienced bullying from not only students but teachers. Report to the principal and meet with silence!

The school says they have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to physical violence but my daughter has been hit and pushed four times now and the school constantly sweeps it under the rug. My daughter has been going to this school since second grade and I couldn't be more disappointed in a school or government employees. You can have a girl hit my daughter on the bus twice and instead of removing that girl from the bus you leave that girl exactly where she's sitting and you move my daughter to the front of the bus. My daughter the one who's being assaulted is the problem?? My daughter gets pushed down at the playground by another girl and she's told to quote just stay away from that girl?? Neptune Beach Elementary is the worst Elementary School. Fifth grade was supposed to be an exciting time for my daughter but because you guys had the inability to stand up for her rights to not be physically assaulted she is so looking forward to being out of this school.

This school overall is decent. However I wish they had more cultural diversity and provide more anti bullying programs/ workshops. There needs to be more black/brown/latinos, theres not enough involvement for the parents, like RARELY. Therefore as a parent you feel left out of your childrens lives. Another factor, is the everyday tests and quizzes these kids have to complete! Seems like the school is worried about their ratings and numbers. One other factor is the teacher shortage, kids get so many teachers and the staff will move the children from one class to another like nothing, for example they change the kids homeroom teacher a lot. Seems very upsetting.

I do not recommend the pre k program at Episcopal beaches. The head of the school and prek 3 teacher are rigid, not kind and they lack the capacity of dealing with children's diveristy. They dont work with the parents to see what options that will help to improve the child's learning or behaviour. They expect a prek child to behave like a robot the way they like only. The have a discrimination behaviour toward children and thier families.
