I came from Grace Episcopal.My third grade teacher was Linda Hutto.SHE, amazing human being.I was picked on because I was adopted.She wrote my mom a sweet note."For Kathy there is no cookie cutter"She is One of a kind.I love that school. Kathy Lea Ibbetson

I used to love this school but things have gone down hill. My oldest, now in 5th grade, has been there since kindergarten. His experience has been pretty good up until the last two years. My youngest started last year and it’s been a nightmare. Teachers are overwhelmed and short fused, student behavior is out of control, and things aren’t organized anymore. I sent my kids here because they are smart and I wanted the best for the them, but the hype about this place is gone. There are some awesome teachers here, IF your child gets them. My sons kindergarten teacher was banned from ever teaching in Marion County, scary.

This school is unorganized due to an unorganized administration. I put my children in this school with good hopes but they will not be returning to this school, because the school failed to meet the general expectations of what a school should be. My Children will be attending another school that WILL meet the good school expectations.
