Griffin Elementary School

This school is overrated. From day one of me going in to register my child I was met with a lazy receptionist who seemed upset someone showed up. They placed my child in the slow classes, clearly showing they didn’t review his records before making his schedule. The art instruction for my child’s chosen subject was self led with no oversight. It was not worth the drive or the 1-2 hour bus ride. Students are disrespectful with behavioral issues, teachers drinking on the job, and substitute teachers who send students home crying after making racist comments.

If your child has never been bullied and you would like to keep it that way then do not send them to Winston Academy in lakeland fl. The children are not too young to bully at this school. For both of my children have been punched and choked in the restrooms of this school. If you think the principal will do something about that, your sadly mistaken. He will then tell you your feelings are valid and do nothing to these children that are causing the problems over and over so then you need to teach your child to defend themselves. If your child needs to use the restroom during class time make sure you bring a special form from your child's doctor stating they may use the restroom because it doesn't matter if your child is im ki departed or 5th grade the teachers will tell your student to either man up and hold it or tell them they have to wait until the lesson is over. So if you like the man up option for a small child and your child to be choked and hit with nothi.g being done, well then this is the school for you.

My kiddos have gone to three different schools due to moving and this school by far is the worst. No communication with parents at all, no things to attend for the kids. They give you info about stuff the day before or even not at all and expect your child to come home and tell you everything. No one reached out to have a conference with me at conference time and we definitely needed one. Just lots of things that could be improved, overallJust not a fan we will be switching in the upcoming year.

This school is sadly gone to a mess. They are not qualified to work with ese students and make it harder on the child than easier . When attention is brought to the Principal of the school of problems,those problems do not get fixed , instead they talk about the parents and children negatively when they want is a solution. School shouldn't be a place of drama it needs to be a place of learning and teaching the basics so that the child can move forward. Sadly Sleepy hill Elementary school is failing their headstart and prek classes everyday. 10/10 do not recommend to enroll any children here.

They have made this transition so easy and stress free for me sending a 4 year old to VPK and a 1 year old. Mrs. Carolyn is such a sweet heart and loves my Adrian (1 year old) since day 1, and I am so grateful for her. Also, Ms. Erika has been amazing with Anabella. Her patience and the way she handles Bella is perfect. Also, the teachings she gives her is awesome. She has learned so much. Thank you Pathway, I am truly blessed to have chose you all for my children's care.
