Argyle Elementary School

As a military family it has been a struggle for my children to adapt to this school, after having transferred mid school year. From the lack of help of administration, to teachers telling me "it's not my job to catch your child up", I couldn't be more unhappy with this school. It's hard to get teachers and administration to communicate with you face to face and emails sometimes go unanswered.This school is very driven by state testing, not by the success of their students.

Since day one we've been impressed with this school. The communication between faculty and parents is phenomenal. Constantly there are activities going on, from a fall carnival to a literacy night and small events in between. This school feels like a part of the community. We have older children who went to a nearby magnet school, and we kept them there based on that. Had we known what Argyle Elementary had to offer we would've made the switch long ago. Smaller classes, great student to teacher ratio and the curriculum is wonderful. My child is challenged daily, but has the resources available to assist if needed. When having lunch at the school with our child or volunteering you can feel a positive atmosphere. The kids are happy. We'll be leaving the area soon, and sad to leave this school behind. It deserves every high mark it receives.

You will love this school. The Orange Park/Jacksonville area is sprawling and crowded. I feel like AES is our hidden gem away from all the hustle and bustle. Lots of kids and a big campus but the teachers and staff know everything about every child and family and make you feel special and at home right away. We are leaving the area but taking wonderful memories with us. Thank you Argyle Elementary!

This school is amazing! The office staff is always very helpful, the principals are always there when you need them and the teachers are top notch! I have worked with the PIE (parents in education) group and in the classrooms too. The last of my 3 children is attending the school now and I will be sad when we have to move on to middle school. I am always fully informed of the things going on around the school, there are many extra activities after school for the students. This school is by far one of the best around.
