When I moved my family to Jacksonville in April of 2010, this was the highest rated school in the area. Unfortunately at the end of that school year Sheffield change principals and the school has been in a steady decline since. Mrs. Cobbin is unavailable and non-responsive to issues. I believe both New Berlin and Oceanway offer a better environment for young children. Close Quote
