This school has changed within the years. Twice our child has come home with injuries and no one called during the day. Then you have teachers that are punishing kids for ridiculous things and taking it off their grade and I'm not talking about talking in class. There is also been bullying against a female student. The teacher did nothing about it. Also we I never notified early as far as pictures are any events going on at the school. As soon as possible we are moving two kids from this school.

Worst school EVER. My son attends kindergarten here after having to leave the Santa Rosa county school district and this is by far the worst school I have ever dealt with. The children are mean to him, call him names, CUSS around him, push him, hit him, etc and the teacher does NOTHING even after I have contacted the school on several occasions! Not to mention my son tells me that he doesn’t learn anything at all in class. He is never sent home with homework or completed school work, I’m convinced that they don’t do any work at all! There is no communication at all so I never know what’s going on or when school is out - NOTHING! Something needs to be done! DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILDREN IN THIS SCHOOL!

The school is working hard at improving the school's community. I believe Holly Magee is working toward student improvements both socially and academically, and wants to see the community change in the same way. She is using her resources and energy effectively in doing so. The school recently went from an F to a C grade, and it was the combined efforts of admin and staff that saw such drastic improvements. I believe with time and energy and community involvement, the school will only continue to improve.

Dr. Keeton is a phenomenal asset to the community and school. She truly cares and invests is students academic success.

As a former student, DO NOT GO HERE. I wasted 8 years of my life here. There are policies against being a homosexual or a trans person. Teachers would often talk bad about those people TO THEIR STUDENTS. They would influence the students to be just as hateful as them. Teachers would also try to promote their own views, such as abortion. In sixth grade, the history, science, and math teacher was trying to convince the girls in our class to never get an abortion. The same teacher also talked bad about a presidential candidate and tried to make the children's political views align with his own. The school is also insanely influenced by purity culture. Additionally, you would expect it to have religious aspects because its a Christian school, and it does. However, the religious aspect COMPLETELY takes over the actual educational aspect. "Bible" is a required class all throughout kindergarten and elementary. I think its also required in 7th-12th grade. Bible tests and quizzes are required, without an actual way to study for them. The school says to be Christian, which means it should include all the Christian denominations, but it's really more of a Baptist school. Teachers would often talk bad about Catholics and other religions. In conclusion, do not go here if you are a normal person and don't want to waste your time as a student or have your child's views influenced. I am speaking from experience here. Thank you.
