John Winship Elementary School

Love the teachers and smaller class sizes here. We came from the Heights and an IB school, so while the material seems more relaxed, the teachers and staff are phenomenal here. For reference, our kinder class had daily homework and number grades on report cards (so more relaxed would be most schools in the country…)

The school and school district do a terrible job as far as communication on a child's transportation its already the third time I'm notified my daughter is a bus rider which she is not! she does koal kare only!!!!! they have not updated that she is not a bus rider!!!

The entire staff at this school has a bad attitude and so unprofessional. If you have a concern about something they get defensive and give you an attitude instead of being helpful. Drop off and pickup are a nightmare, they are so unorganized and they make up all these new rules and policies almost every other day it seems and scream at you if you didn’t get the memo. Example: they sent home an anttendance and tardy policy paper home for parents to sign. It specifically said early dismissal ends at 2:30pm. Well 2 days later I went up to the school to take my son out early, it was 2:05pm and the lady at the front desk said early dismissal cut off is 2pm now. They never sent a notice, and I told her I just signed a paper the school sent about this 2 days ago and it said 2:30pm. She didn’t apologize or anything for the change and miscommunication on their part. She just gave me an attitude and rolled her eyes and called the principal. Their attitude is so bad it seems like they hate being there and that’s a big concern when we’re sending our children to be under their care.

The front staff including the principal are so unprofessional don’t not recommend this school to anyone by the reviews I am not the only one who has experienced this from the front staff attitudes slamming the front window to throwing papers!!

Teachers, staff, and leadership are exceptional. Spring Baptist Academy is a mission of Spring Baptist Church. They teach, minister, and disciple students with a biblical foundation.
