South Daytona Elementary School

The principal at this school is not qualified to run a school. She has no respect for parents or most of her teachers. She is all about having the power. Principals should support their students, teachers and parents not live to tear them down! Change in leadership is definitely needed. I can no longer sub at this school knowing there is no support from admin.

I love this school. The teachers, adm and office staff are amazing. They are all there for our kids. I do have a problem with the school nurse. My daughter has been sent to the nurse for not feeling well and she just dismisses her. If my child is sick, I want a phone call.

The teachers and staff at this school really work together to create a positive school environment for the kids. Anytime you walk down the halls here, you will see administrators hi-fiving students, talking with them, telling them positive affirmations, and more. My daughter has attended here for the past 2 years and her teachers were awesome and really cared that she was learning and excelling. We came from a private preschool/VPK, and had no problem adjusting in to the public school system here. My advise to ANY parents.....get involved in some form. Volunteer when you can, get to know the teachers, staff, etc. Thank you SDE! We look forward to another year here!

I've heard of people having bad experiences at this school in the past, but in the past couple years I've had an amazing experience. They have revamped a lot in a couple years! It's exciting to see the changes and improvements! There are so many amazing teachers here that are constantly participating in training events and continued learning workshops and the recent change in administration is exciting. I've heard amazing things about the new principal and I'm excited to see continued improvements! It's nice to see such a shift in the faculty culture and to see a strong community building around our kids.
