Golfview Elementary Magnet School

Posted May 17, 2008

Most of the teachers are great. The assistant principal does well with the children and the teachers seem to really like her. However the principal is not very friendly to parents or teachers. She degrades them in front of others. Behaviors are also not dealt with the way they should be. Students should get suspended for hitting, biting, etc, but that doesn't alwasy happen here. I don't know how this school is considered and A or B school. I believe the FCAT standards are much lower than other state standards. I feel my child has fallen behind since we moved here. I would not recommend this school. If you are thinking of moving to this area, find a different school district.

My son attended this school from K through 3rd grade in the autistic unit. I want to commend the teachers, assistants and therapists that worked with my son. The administration leaves alot to be desired.

Firstly, Golfview is an exceptional school that has made an 'A', as a school grade year after year. The principal is an African American female that has ensured that all students get equal learning opportunities. I have never seen her treat any one culture different from the next. She has been in the school system for several years and have taught the parents of her students year after year. She is a hard principal and extremely overwhelmed with non educational problems such as, staff members prejudices against her,parent issues that does not focus on student achievement. Principals have many duties, and priority begins with student achievement. The principal is very passionate about her students academic achievement. Her leadership style promotes student learning, 'A', school.

I feel Golfview is a good school,however with all the working parents today, parents need time to make arrangements w/ work, small children,ect. Secondly, The 'Attitude' of some teachers. More times than not I have heard teachers talking down to children. We are an Elementry school where young children who are still in the learning stages of behavior. If these teachers don't talk to the students with respect than how do you expect the child to learn to respect them. I have seen this too many times this year and it's really disturbing. As far as the parent coordination this too needs work. More parents need to get involved. This is not a babysitting service. It's your childs future. Please get involved with it.
