Ensley Elementary School

I am now in high school writing this, i had some good teachers don't get me wrong, but let me talk about a few things. The school nurse (or at least the one i remember) was the nicest lady ever, the science lab instructor was really good at her job and very caring and about 70% of TEACHER'S were really good, the staff was mediocre and felt like they didn't really care especially the front office. The school was kinda just uncanny and inside was gross, especially the cafe after COVID, saying i was in the "daycare" program there after school Ive seen it all. I haven't had problems with any staff single handily but have had reports from my own mother about their attitude.

This school has terrible staff. They are rude for no reason do not greet you, always have an attitude, rolls their eyes every time you come up to the front desk to ask something, Will not respond or speak first to you unless you repeat your self multiple times. The bus transit it always terrible! They have many busses that run late or are subs and they just drive past the stop. The school won’t do anything about it and the Escambia transit won’t either. My kids watched the bus just drive past them for a week straight! I called multiple times about it and it and they just stopped answering. They have attended for 3 years now and the school is getting worse every year.

I've have 5 children go to this school over the years and when Dr. Vaugn was principal there was no problems. Once Mcgee took over it went down hill. Teachers take these “minor referrals” completely out of hand. If the student talks to loud, barley touches another child, or simply “gets on the teacher's nerves” the were told to be written up. This follows the child over the years and makes the student look terrible when they go to the next grade. The teachers automatically label the student, as a problem and think they have the right to harass the student for the rest of the year. The students get to a point were they give up, because no mater what they do, they will continue to get marked simply based on the teachers emotions or assumption. Once marked, they are eliminated from all fun activities, field trips and parties during the school year. Within this past year my child went from being excited to go to school, to depressed because of the 2 teachers. At this time, we have decided to move towards the Santa Rosa county area where the schools are better!

This school is very unprofessional. The teachers are wack. They don’t call or respond to anything you send to the school. The principal doesn’t respond to voicemail and the front office lady is very rude. I hate that I even put my child in this school. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this school for anyone.

If you are looking for an elementary school. I would highly recommend looking at school. Staff is helpful and always nice. Great education

horrible school,decided to let a kid that brought a knife to school come back to the school letting him disobey his probation from a restraining order against a kid and removed his expulsion from his record allowing him to be a danger to all of the children at the school
