There’s no special educational program at this school. Administration is horrible. This school is so unorganized, the principal can’t handle this school. Carpool is terrible. Would not recommend bringing your child here. Staff is always changing they can’t keep anyone in the front office.

My son has been attending the school for three years, and every year the bus for his slot 1 runs late throughout the year. I’ve emailed the principal, but she doesn’t seem to know anything about it. The person from transportation only sends generic responses saying they’re short-staffed, but no changes have been made to the buses. Students start off being 30 minutes late, and now it’s 45 minutes. The app also doesn’t show any updates for the new bus.

We love this school. The teachers know everyone by name and my kids are excited to go to school. I did have an issue last year, but I met with the principal and he took care of it right away. I really feel like all the adults at the school really care about my kids. We love it here.

Terrible in communication, there was early dismissal and son was waiting at home for more then 2 hours because we were not informed of early dismissal, we were not informed by automated service or an paperwork for reminders. We were told in the front desk "we do not send out reminders on early dismissal"
Really what school doesn't send out notifications?

I was highly disappointed in what my daughter was learning. It seemed that every other day while in kindergarden she would come home to tell us that they had watched a movie such as a Disney film rather than something educational. The largest dissapointment was what she was learning from fellow classmates. I did not see this school as a postive environment for my child.

My child has attended Grove Park since January 2011. (half of 1st grade & all of 2nd) He absolutely loves this school. He has been in the GIFTED program since second grade and loves it. Couldn't ask for a better place to educate my child.

I love this school, my family just moved here from Duval County in February and this school has been such a blessing to my children. I had so many problems with Duval schools, they would not give my children the help they needed, they weren't even reading when we moved here, and now 7 months later, they are reading, they are excited to go to school. The teachers have been a tremendous help, very loving and caring, take the time to help my children where they need it. Just because they are a c school, does not mean anything, I would recommend this school to anyone, I have had no problems.
