Mill Creek Elementary School

They hire anybody off the street to be a teacher. We have had to teach our kid most the math ourselves because the quality is that bad. The teacher is training to teach while they are already hired as a teacher. No I'm not kidding. You send an email asking a question to a teacher, you can count on it not being answered. My kid was bringing the wrong H.W book home for half the year and this teacher wasn't aware of it because she seems to not be checking the H.W or monitoring what children are bringing out the classroom.Headphones for our kid disappeared. She was sharing someone else's headphones. no communication from the teacher. we bought new headphones those disappeared too. Ask about it, no response. Kids always get sick, but not like in this school. they jam the kids so close you can count on a sick kid once a week. Teachers bringing whole families into class so you never know who your kid is around, and it also adds an extra vector of illnesses your kids can be exposed to in an already crammed environment.Unsafe social environment for kids too. If your kid is having social issues, you can count on the teachers not informing you or helping you resolve it. It's like pulling nails to find out what's going on with your kids. I had to literally ask a teacher to separate my kid from someone my kid has repeatedly told me makes inappropriate comments to her and didn't respect her boundaries. When i asked how my kid was doing socially i was assured she was doing good.Saint Johns county has had to rezone some kids because of how overwhelmed this school is with the influx of new students from silverleaf. in some ways this explains a lot of the problems, but then again they should have anticipated this and been prepared: after all they zoned 10k new residences years ago. Very bad leadership from all of Saint John's County, but especially this school which didn't rise to the challenge.Now kids whom were supposed to attend this school until Silverleaf's completion will have to be rezoned for 2 years, and wards creek itself sees a dip in its academics rating impacting both students and homeowners in the area.
