I am extremely disappointed and concerned with how this school has handled multiple situations involving my son. On several occasions, they have failed to notify me about incidents that put him in danger — including putting him on a bus after another student punched him. The lack of communication an
Posted by a parent on 10/20/2025We attended this school for 3 years too, many in my opinion. My child was bullied, and when my child defended themselves, they got into trouble, not the bully. The principal will make many promises that she will not keep. Your child will be left behind grade-wise; the teachers will not respond nor c

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolute garbage. My sister is enrolled in this school and the security, everything is awful. The school has gotten several bomb threats and the most they do will be checkups. My sister has been sexually assaulted many times by a classmate who has done the same to other girls. She has told her counselor and a few teachers but they have never said anything about it and have also just told her to "stay away" from him multiple times. The school is also insanely bad with bullying, especially those of the disabled kids. It is also a big problem for kids of other ethnicities and religions, beliefs and orientation. The teachers really do not care about doing their job either and I have also seen that they might use AI. Overall this is not a good school, and our family is thinking of filing a police report against said kid who sexually assaulted my sister and many other girls, and maybe even the school itself. Shame on the teachers for ever letting this happen, please never go to Auburn High School in Florida, it is seriously a bad place and no teacher takes any problem seriously.Other Review1y ago - Auburndale Central Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFrom a special needs mom perspective, I would not recommend this school for special needs children. The school is not supportive when it comes to the educational achievement or advancement of children who are special needs but hide functioning. It’s more like daycare for special needs children. They group all of the children together whether they are low functioning or high functioning and do not provide accommodations like speech therapy, etc. In addition, I feel so excluded from my child educational life due to the fact there is no family engagement or social fellowship.Parent Review1mo ago - Heritage Christian Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school does not communicate properly with parents. There have been numerous problems with teachers and administration that go unaddressed. Transportation issues are not communicated. This school has caused my family nothing but hardships. I would not recommend this school to anyone.Parent Review3mo ago
