Used to be good school few years back. Currently the school teachers and principle needs to do a lot of introspect since I have been listening a lot of negativity.

The teachers at Wekiva are such a joy. The Administration on the other hand are awful!! The principle looks mad all the time & rarely speaks to parents when she sees us. The school is not what it used to be & I am not sure why with all the reviews the Admin get that she is still the principle & hasn't been moved to a middle school or high school where she is better suited!

I enrolled my daughter at this school for kindergarten and was so thoroughly discouraged with it that I pulled her in December and taught the rest of kindergarten through Florida Virtual School until I found a school I was happier with. At Kindergarten orientation, we found out that since there were too many students than were allowed, that they would put all of the overage into one kindergarten classroom so there were way too many in there 'until enough students drop out.' There was a very large bullying problem with my daughter being criticized and teased mercilessly with no action by teachers. The kindergarten classes are not in individual classrooms but in a massive room that has been sectioned off and the noise is prohibitive. The education itself was okay and I believe that the teachers are doing their best. The impression I got was that the teachers are micromanaged and overruled by the principal and that there is very little individual autonomy for creativity and control.

Wekiva elementary is not the good school it used to be 5-10 years ago. My son's 1st grade experience has also thus far been deplorable and a complete disappointment just like the other parent posted. Clueless and out of touch are the only words that comes to mind when dealing with this school.
