The administration is very supportive of the teachers and the school staff encourages parent engagement which will, in turn, lead to increased student learning.

This is the worst elementary school in jacksonville, they don't notify parents of award ceremonies if they even have them, no school activities for the children, no after school program, a teacher told my child that a c was a passing grade which it is but we want better in my house, I wasn't notified if my child grade(s) was dropping just received a report with a D on it this school needs help badly!
