What people need to understand is that this is a fairly new school! Opened in 2014. So most the frustration from others comes from this school still finding their footing. The building (which is two stories) is exceptionally clean and modern. Some teachers are new or have only been there 1-7 years, so I was not surprised at all that this school has some kinks to still work out. My daughter went to a school that was more than 60 years old, and sure after 60 years any school should have everything working like clock work, but I give this school grace because the teachers and staff are very kind and helpful! I do notice the teachers are frustrated as well with some things so I will mention the issues they still need to work out:Open enrollment doesn't seem to have enough staff yet or organization. My daughter moved here and even though we enrolled 4 weeks ahead of time, they still didn't have her in the system for grading a month after she started school. She was of course able to attend on day one, but just goes to show they have issues at the beginning of the year. The car rider lane was insane at the beginning of the year but became lighter and more manageable 1 month in. Other than that, I wish the teachers had better communication with us electronically but eventually it got resolved. I still think this is GREAT school with amazing potential! Super modern and clean, with all the latest. I really think in a few more years this will be one of the best schools in Ocala!

So my experience With the school has not been the best but now it’s the end of the school year and my son is not in his own yearbook in which he was enrolled by the beginning of the school year and had his pictures taken so with this being my son’s first year completing school as a mother I am heartbreaking that my son isnt in his yearbook For whatever reason but he will be going to a different school next year because of this. And p.s The only decent ADULT STAFF I’ve met is my son’s kindergarten teacher Mrs Wilkerson.

Worst school in Ocala for a special needs child, my son went here and he was abused and treated horribly. The staff have no compassion and they definitely don’t know how to handle non verbal children at all

School is terribly unorganized, none of the staff answers the phone and never calls back.
