One time there were 2 rifles found in a car. No one found about this until 2 years after the incident. One time I received a failing grade for being in the hospital for a week. One time I was told I couldn't use the elevator while on crutches. One time I was kicked out of the library and written up for being disruptive when I was quietly recording a voiceover for a class presentation. One time I was sent to the principals office for being on my phone. I didn't not have a phone. Do not send your children here. It is hell.

I thought about sending my daughter to this school to finish her 4th grade year with her cousin (my…read moreniece) but that didn't happen because my niece kept getting bullied and the school didn't do shit! To the point where my niece had to defend herself and the crazy part was she's the one that got in trouble even though my sister kept telling the school about the bullying! Nothing was done and my niece was the one suspended smhh! She's doing much better at a different school but reading all these reviews just shows how much the school doesn't gaf about bullying! You have kids that went to this school making reviews about their own bullying experiences from years prior!

This school is PERFECT for my son! He's starting his 3rd year there & LOVES it! He's never liked…read moreschool before & even went to the best elementary school. The small class sizes, individual attention and no assigned homework has made a HUGE difference in our family life. On the rare occasion he doesn't finish his work at school because of a doctor/dentist appointment, he comes home & immediately completes his work. He NEVER cared about his schoolwork & homework was ALWAYS a struggle until he started at Center Academy at St. John's Bluff. I am so thankful to have options such as this school because some kids just don't do well at large public schools and need different accommodations that other schools can't offer. Plus we have NEVER had a bullying issue or anything even close to that. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Center Academy if your child has unique needs.

As a former student here this school has been good and bad I have to say when I was feeling sick…read moreone time I went down to the front office the Attendance clerk lady was very rude the first thing she said when she saw me was What?. So then I'm like ok wow she didn't even ask what was wrong with me mainly the whole time I was down there she was being nasty to me. Not all teachers are bad some teachers treat certain students a certain way and it's very annoying. When it comes down to putting in grades some are very slow doing it. If the work is late that is a different story but I had a really good support team there after I lost a family member and they helped me get through the last few weeks of the school.

The teachers were rude to them and when they didn't feel well they said " your temperature is fine go to class" I wish i never sent my child here. The principle also sent my daughter home for having PINK HAIR, my child may do what she want's you do not tell her what to do. 1/10 do not recommend. PSA don't send your child to this school.

I went to PVPV, when it was just PVPV. The Rawlings 'wing' didn't exist. Ocean Palms didn't exist…read more Heck, Landrum didn't come into play until I was in 5th grade. That's right, PVPV used to be K-6 all in one building. Very hard to believe. The students graduating this year (2014) have never known NE St. Johns County to not have more than one elementary school. If i was planning to raise little rugrats of my own, I would definitely find a way to live in this part of the county as I would want them to attend this school. I'm sure all the teachers I had have long since retired, but this school still has - and will probably keep - a great reputation. As someone that lives in the neighborhood, the only thing I could complain about would be the traffic in the mornings. But it's really not THAT bad and they've got it down to a science.

The teachers are excellent, the parents are highly involved, and the principal is very skilled at managing the school. She is also accommodating and open to making time to speak to parents.
