Open Quote This school needs a full administration make over. There are many problems that go on in this school and it is all dragged and covered under the rug. From bullying issues to teaching methods to unprofessional and uncaring staff. This school needs improvement in many areas. Close Quote

Open Quote I don't even understand what the above comments are supposed to mean, so I thought I'd post a useful comment for those looking for accurate information. My daughter is about to start her 4th year at PVPV Rawlings and we have had nothing but a great experience there. As with any school, there are some "just OK" teachers, but most are fabulous. Teachers WANT to work in St Johns County and at PVPV/Rawlings, so they are able to pick from the best. The administration, although maybe not warm and fuzzy, are responsive and available. As a parent, there are many opportunities to get involved and it's definitely encouraged by the school. Although it's a large school, I never felt like my daughter was just a number. The 2 campuses give it a smaller feel and make it easier to manage the 1200 kids who attend.
I've read some negative reviews, but from our experience over the past few years, my opinion and the opinion of all of my friends and neighbors is that PVPV/Rawlings is a great school overall. Close Quote

Open Quote Administration and teachers are very disrespectful and can't follow directions. Perhaps they are ADD or ADHD and should be drugged so they will learn to comply. Close Quote

Open Quote It's hard to rate a school on educational value when their focus is flexing what they perceive to be control over familys. If the administration would learn their role in a childs education is "education" and not controlling a family the community would be better served. PVPV/Rawlings is a typical school district snubbing their nose at the parents and children because they have the backing of the worthless unions. Take the government out of the schools and make the overpaid administration earn their keep. 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.
