Jule F Sumner High School

Terrible school! The principal herself does not know the rights of the students. Not a safe environment for children with disabilities.

Doby Elementary dropped from a 'B' grade to a 'C' grade between 2018 and 2019. They also lost a large number of quality teachers over the summer and I see they now have a posting for a new AP. As a parent of a Doby child I'm very concerned for how the school year is evolving and hope significant improvements are made throughout the year. Otherwise I recommend parents take advantage of school choice early for alternatives (Apollo Beach elementary is rated a 'B').

I absolutely LOVE this school. My 5th grader has been attending Summerfield Crossings since 3rd grade and my youngest started Kindergarten this year. Principal Harvey is so great with the kids, he knows them by name and is extremely personable. If I ever have a question or concern he is quick to respond to my email and calls if need be with a smile and willingness to discuss. The office staff is equally amazing with the students, when my youngest was home sick multiple staff members asked my oldest if his brother was okay, or said "I missed your brother today". I could not be more impressed with my sons IEP teacher, Mrs. Torpey, she has been instrumental in his improvement in education and truly cares about his needs. She goes above and beyond to connect with him and get him excited about learning (not an easy feat). Ms. Lopez is hands down the best kindergarten teacher, she is great with the kids and goes above and beyond to create a fun learning environment for the students. When we first moved here a few years ago, I was apprehensive about the school but they have turned me into a raving fan.

I am writing this because I am shocked the way your school handle this matter with Thomaz, he is my nephew and we wanted him to go to a school who not only teach but also practice Gods teaching, and you guys had not in any way treat my nephew as a son of God who is just a child, whom moved to USA right when Covid was happening and had his schooling tremendously effected, he came had to learn a second language and New way of teaching, went through a lot for a kid. but you without any compassion or mercy kick him out of school, leaving him thinking he is not worth, you didn’t care that he is just a kid and he needed time to learn and get better, 6 weeks is not enough time for a kid to learn, your job as a school is to teach and as a christian school was give him the extra care and love he needed, and a lil more effort helping him. You fell as a christian school, now my nephew is depressed feeling he is not worth because of your treatment and has no school. ask yourself if God would approve your decision. Shame on you.
