Apalachee Elementary School

Posted April 13, 2006

'Great Art and Music magnet program. Administrators and teachers very caring and involved. However, enforcement of discipline has declined. Teachers are increasingly overwhelmed with 'problem students' that the principal has no power to remove. Fights and bullying are on the rise so we put our child in private school. This is a district policy issue, but we decided our child would get left behind at this school.'

This school has qualified and responsible teachers. However, there are not much extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is also low. Student tests are getting better because there are new comers to this area.

The academic programs are great. My kindergartner learned to read quickly. Some extracurricluar activities, not what I am used to from a Palm Beach school, also A rated. The main problem is lack of parent involvement - it is very obvious the majority of the parents don't participate - see little or no communication from the PTA/O, or efforts on behalf of the community to start up improvement projects for the school.

My children just started at Apalachee, they are both in Special Ed. preschool. They took a really long time to see me, didn't give me the proper paperwork when I finally got a meeting (a month later) and then gave me a lot of misinformation about dropping the kids off, etc. I got the impression that they school is not managed very well. The teachers and principal seem very nice and are well-meaning, but it's ridiculous the hoops I jumped through to get my kids started.
