Grace Lutheran School

Excelente escuela, excelentes maestros. Tengo mi hija desde kinder y me encanta. Si estás buscando una buena escuela en winter haven diría que está es la mejor. Tengo muy malas reseñas de las escuelas de winter haven pero esta puedo decir que es buenísima.

mi hijo es autista con discapacidades y asido víctima de bullen llego con golpes en lacara en el estomago cuando able con la directora me dijo que ella los entrenaba a asarse fuertes al bullen. para cuando ellos fueran a otras escuelas mi hijo esta muy mal sicologicamente la directora promueve el bullen en esta escuela mi hijo le dio parálisis facial por depresión severa y estrés severo otra cosa cuando ingreso ala enfermería jamas me mandaron ningún aviso q mi hijo estuvo dos beses en la enfermería padres por favor ai que poner atención a los avisos de nuestros hijos para q no pase lo q paso con mi hijo. mi hijo estaba bajo amenazas por eso no decía nada asta que sacara se enchueco y lo lleve ala emergencia y lo peor que la escuela de distrito. aun no ase nada con esta directora que no debe estar trabajando con niños mi hijo esta muy afectado.

JSA has great teachers. That's where the good stuff ends. The administration of this school is terrible. I just got back from the second event I've attended where my son was crying when I finally got to him because he thought I didn't show up; when in fact, I had been at the school more than 45 minutes early, waiting in a HUGE check-in line that stretched out of the school and down the sidewalk. This was NOT an isolated incident. Every single event hosted by this school is VERY disorganized and overcrowded. There seems to be zero planning for the number of people who show up. If it wasn't for the wonderful teachers he's had, my son would no longer be enrolled at this horribly managed school. Shame on the administration for doing nothing to improve things. How about having a pre-registration for parents to report their plans to attend prior to the event? Or allowing parents to pay for a background check and obtain a permanent visitor badge? There are so many things they could do but they do nothing, and the result is chaos. Additionally, the principal does not answer parent emails most of the time. I have learned this from experience. On paper, this school seems great. In practice, it's awful. Truly hoping my son gets a private school voucher next year so I can get him out of this mess.

Excellent quality education from top notch staff. Loving Christian community and an extension of an excellent church.

ReviewI hope this review finds some a bit of deferment and I hope it shakes others up. Grace has always had a “high” standard in our community. So many people praise it yet when I sent my child it was nothing but devastation. The days became long and impossible to get through. The teachers had little to no empathy or care for their students. I made my child’s teacher aware of an illness and if it was to occur to call me immediately, my request was ignored and my child suffered. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only time my child suffered at the exspense of Grace. Not only did they ignore my requests when it came to their health but they also refused to listen when my child cried for help. The bullying became so severe and after speaking with not only the teacher but the principle as well nothing was done. I was told my child was the problem. It becomes a problem when a child looses their voice and can no longer speak up for themselves because they know that they will have no support and no one who will stand up for them. If your child is bullied at Grace it will not stop and they will victim blame.They have a lack of discipline and understanding of discipline, they show favoritism and make it very clear when a child is not liked to not only the child themself but also to the parents.Grace lacks accommodations and compassion. Each child has specific needs but they do not care. They will not accommodate your child whether they have a diagnosis or just need a little extra help. Grace will ignore your request as a parent and they will make your child suffer. Emotionally, academically, anyway imaginable. If your child does not fit their mold then your child will be belittled and ridiculed. I have nothing good to say about this school!!!! If you have an exceptional child, one who you want to be molded into their own person, one you want to be kind and that you want to be treated with the respect that they deserve….DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go to Grace!

Pro-So far St. Joe's is great! Our daughter just finished PreK 3 and she has learned so much! We can't wait for next year and the years to come. It is such a blessing that our daughter gets to go to a school where she can get a higher education and learn about God at the same time. All the staff and teachers treat you and your child(ren) like family and the school is well secured to keep all children and staff safe. Con-Wish the school had more parking open during school hours. The car line pick up process is inefficient and frustrating.
