This school is the WORST!!!
It’s drug infested , students having sex in the bathrooms and on campus and administration could care less.
My child attended the school for only a few months and I had to remove her because she developed behavior and academic problems from this school.
You call the principal /guidance counselors /deans … and will seldom get a call back , and if you do the issue will be swept under the rug so that it’s not reported to district.
They refuse to keep paper trails because they know the school is garbage.

Administration suggested and ENCOURAGED if your child was using drugs , that you provide a environment at home to let them do it so they
“get it out there system before school/after school , and it doesn’t become a school problem” .
I was shocked that an admin would have the audacity to say that to a parent.

This school needs to be throughly investigated by Osceola country district board and shut down.

Besides the fact that the administration has no control over any of their kids…
On an academic level
1. Teachers hardly grade assignments handed in by students(homework/test/classwork) in a timely manner
It takes about 3 weeks for them to grade , if at all

2. They only post grades online when report cards are due , and it’s 2 late to do anything about your grades ……..… conveniently

3. They inform students of FSA state test and PSAT/SAT test dates … 1-2 days before so there’s absolutely no time to prepare
It’s mostly the DAY before the test you will get a text saying your student is Scheduled for a day Tomorrow

Parents , don’t send your kids here. You will regret it for life. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
