Spring Park Elementary School

My daughter is in the ESE prek program at this school. Horrible. This is not our neighborhood school and we were placed here due to her program. On a few occasions that I've gone to the school to drop things off, the police have been there for an "incident". The teacher told me this is somewhat common and usually an issue with DCF and a parent. There was a lice outbreak before christmas where over 60 kids were sent home and parents were not notified until after christmas break and no one mentioned how extensive it was. My daughter has made absolutely no progress in the 8 months she's been there. She cries every day that she has to go and says her teacher doesn't care about her. When I ask the teacher for information or things like a copy of her IEP, I never get a response. We came from Nassau County and the difference is night and day. We will not be enrolling here for Kindergarten. Safety and communication are BIG issues at this school. I do not want my kids going somewhere that it is commonplace for the police to be needed.

The worst school EVER! Teachers don't care about kids, principal is a joke, assistant principal Ms. Hicks is absolutely rude in fact no words can describe her, She should not be in that position.Please if you love your kids don't send them to this school. Is really, really bad!!! I cant even give a corner of a star rating.

I am a teacher at this school. The staff is phenomenal and very knowledgeable. They work long hours without pay, pour over data to determine areas of concern and offer FREE after school help. You couldn't ask for a better, dedicated staff. This school is an IB Magnet school.

I give this school no stars. The principle and vice principle are not on the same page. The office staff are rude and you have bout 1 out of five teachers that care. I would not recommend this school unless they change the head of the staff. They quick to write kids on referrals they don't try to help your child they just label them and throw them out to dry. If your an active parent they don't care they claim they are working with you and actual they don't. Its sad that Duval schools suck and that Duval make kids suffer when they are placed on a 504 plans or IEP plans. They have to suffer for an entire year before they qualify for the McKay Scholarship in order to get the proper help and attention they need. Once they have your kids label they are quick to just kick them out. You call the cluster of the school they are no help. You try to talk to the Superintendent the secretary want you to go back to the cluster she does not want to send your complaint over to the Superintendent. And they wonder why people are pulling their kids out of public and going to other counties or private and charter schools.
