San Jose Elementary School

My daughter is a third grader. I was told to medicate my child, my child is bright and needs to be challenged she was just bored and didn't want to do the work. I put her in FLVS and she loves it, she doesn't want to go back to San Jose Elementary. Homeschooling was the best decision for her. The class work load only takes maybe an hour or two to do. Plus the 2 hour lectures on Tuesday and Thursday which are fun and very interactive with being able to socialize with classmates all online from the comfort of home. So for the rest of the day she gets to play and have fun. Whereas a typical school day is 8 hours your looking at only 4 hours on Tuesday and Thursday and only about an hour or two on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Like I said the best decision we could have made for her.

The school is an okay school. They are lacking in organizational skills. The teachers are nice but assistant principle Jeravon Wheeler is extremely rude when talking to the parents. She could benefit from some type of customer service training. It is my opinion that you need to be able to communicate well with both students and parents when employed as a principle assistant or otherwise.

My children go there, and I am proud of the bi lingual education they are receiving. My children are making valuable friendships, and the curriculum is top notch. Love this school.

I have one child who recently graduated from San Jose and went all six years and another that will enter second grade there this year. The teachers and administration will do anything for involved parents. The principal, Mrs. Kemp, is fantastic. Your child can succeed there- my daughter earned two 4s and a 5 on her FCAT for 5th grade. Every teacher has worked with my girls to help them be successful, they only ask for cooperation at home too.
