Grasp Academy

My son has only been there one year so far but it was a great year. Teachers and staff are really involved and nice. They strive to involve families at special events through the year. Communication from the school has been very good. Recommend this school.

This school is full of bullying and they trespass the parents when they come to address the issues with the school vs using common sense and being reasonable they get on the radio and call for the school police to have you escorted out the building.Education and Safety are not a priority at this school because they allow other children to be left in the classroom to become a distraction to others and their learning experience because they are not able to enforce the rules set forth in the Student Code Of Conduct Handbook set for by the Duval County Public Schoolboard to ensure the safety of the children and staff at the school,This is an ongoing issue and many children are suffering on a daily basis but the district does have an Anti-Bullying Policy that's not being adhered to.I can't name a child that's capable of learning while distracted nor one that's interested in a classroom at this school when once they arrive "Your the new guy" so they are going to bully you.....never heard of it until we got to this school.Yes,I have been more than reasonable with reaching out to speak with someone,I think 3-4 times in a 2 week span is more than enough to combat bullying especially when it's a hinderance to my child's academic progress.Until they address bullying at this school,Please look in other places or your child to will have a "Hope Scholarship" which in return will hinder the parent because you will need to provide your own transportation to and from the new school but your child wasn't the issue in the first place it's just a way to get you on your way because your the parent complaining about the bullying at the school that the Principal and teachers are both aware of but they can't do much about it and the school police does not get involved with discipline.2022-2023 School year (November 2022)

Terrible school! Do not send your child here if you can at all help it. My child attended school here for 3 years. She has been bullied by students and teachers. When she would go to a teacher about the bullying they told her to stop tattling. A child pulled my child to the ground by her hair in the lunch room and another student poured milk on her head and we were not notified at all. When the teachers would do nothing and she started defending herself they suspended her. If the teachers and staff aren't going to protect the students what are they supposed to do?!

This school is the epitome of a family oriented community who puts God above all else! The teachers, staff, and administration care and love the children like their own and make them feel so welcome everyday! My children absolutely love going to school and even beg to go to school to see their teachers and friends when school is out and I don't blame them because I grew up going to Parsons also and graduated from there also. I have always felt nothing but love and support from everyone there. I know I can always go to them for anything whether that's for celebrating wins, guidance, support, and most importantly prayer. You can't count on many people in this life but I know I can always count on them to pray with me or for me whenever I need it. <3 So if anyone ever asks what school I recommend it's this ONE!

7th grade teacher is horrible. Yells at everybody for asking questions. Everybody failed her finals.

The best school to attend in my opinion!!!
