Alachua Elementary School

Posted August 12, 2009

The teachers and couselors are wonderful. My grandson was under performing as he entered 3rd grade and by the time he took the FCATs he reached expectation and > 5th grade math.The family helped, we monitored him and he was tutored by school system. He worked hard. Would not have happened without the guidance of the professionals which includes speech, counselors, tutor program, principal, secretary, school nurse, teachers and latchkey. This school is outstanding.

My son, Logan, transferred from Glen Springs Elementary to Alachua Elementary for his 5th grade year. We couldn't have been more pleased or happier with this school. The teachers are all hands on and so very friendly, caring and helpful. It reminds me so much of the elementary school I attended as a child. K. Chircop

I am very impressed with Alachua Elem. My son has moderate ADHD, and his previous schools always looked at him as a problem or an issure rather than as a little boy. Here he has been welcomed and loved and treated with dignity and respect. He is flourishing and doing great. We nolonger get notes home about not finishing work or poor attention. He is excited to go to school and excited about learning. They have an awesome extended day program with activities and field trips. My son looks at me when I pick him up and asks 'can't I stay longer!. The free breakfast for all students this year really puts them on the right track. Love the school.
