I was a student here for 9 years. Let me tell you that this place is THE definition of deception…read more They may try to make you think it's the greatest school ever with their pretty entrance and their giant campus, but nothing could be further from the truth. What your student will actually receive is a way below par education that the intention behind it is to put them in a position of hopefully mooching off the government (which it's government run, so what do you expect?), rather than teaching them about how to handle the real world. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. IF your student is a dorm student, prepare for them to be subjected to staff members who have no idea how to handle students with disabilities who enforce strict military type guidelines and will subject them to constant verbal abuse and if they're really unlucky, they'll even throw in some physical violence too. I even know about multiple sexual abuses that happened here on top of multiple suicide attempts amongst students and staff members. Seriously, I could write a whole book about what I saw there in my 9 years in this concentration camp. FSDB doesn't care about its students, just it's image, and I'm working to expose it for what it really is.

Great school when I first went to the school I hated it but my son is going there now and he said…read morethe only hard thing is getting to your class overall great school

The school is OK, the food is questionable sometimes but it's still good. One of the Only things…read morethat I hate about the school is that they serve pizza every day, which is a bit unhealthy specifying that there's a questionable amount of obesity in that school. Overall, most teachers aren't really nice. There's a bug infestation in the lunchroom and the lunchroom is also really dirty, there's gum under tables in most classrooms and fights happen almost every day. In general, it's a decent school, but they do need to fix many things. there are also no soap in any boys bathrooms. I'm not sure about women's bathrooms though. This is a new add on: I got punched in the jaw last week, this part was posted on September 20th 2026

Good morning. I would like to share the letter that I forwarded to the Saint Johns school district…read moreso maybe one day things can change: "Good morning, we live in Ponte Vedra Beach exactly 2 miles from Ocean Palms Elementary School but to not lose my job (no after care) we were obligated to move her to Flagler Charter School and now I'm driving around 30 minutes to my daughter to go to school with after care available. We've tried all the private schools around our home without spots. Nicole was adapting well and loving the school and the After care and school administrators didn't bother even to answer Yes or No after 6 months trying waitlist and several phone calls and e-mails. The last time Ms Kim LaMondie answered "At this time we are on a waitlist. We will be sure to put Nicole on the list. I will reach out to you as soon as we open our waitlist." was on Jan/23/2023 and since then we didn't have any responses after several times trying contact. So, to not lose my job I was obligated to change my daughter to somewhere with after care. Now we drive very far every day for school. I don't think this is fair to us and our daughter always cries missing her neighborhood friends and the school - It looks like we are out of the social neighborhood now even though we live right there. We hope this situation can change because we are very unhappy to not be able to study around our home and to be excluded from the social around there for this reason. We hope Nicole can study again on Ocean Palms too."

I hate to have to make this review but I would want to know these things as a parent. My daughter…read morestarted at this location when she was only 2 months old. We stayed until she was almost 3 but were already planning to leave due to high staff turnover, staff not helping us parents with potty training (using changing tables and diapers while we use the potty and underwear at home for example), and dirty bathrooms. I had let the director know we would be withdrawing. The day I did this, the unthinkable happened. The last straw and the day I took my child out for good was last week when I arrived to pick up my child (2 years old) and I found her ALONE IN A CLASSROOM. No adult anywhere nearby (none in the front or adjacent classrooms as all the classes were outside). Another parent witnessed this. My daughter told me "my friends left me" then said "a monster was going to get me" when I asked her what happened before she was left. I walked outside and found her class and teacher (as well as an ex teacher who was there visiting?) . When I confronted her teacher there was automatic lies about some person who wasn't even there and shouldn't have been alone with my child regardless. A bunch of excuses. The director was apologetic but the next day stated "she was only alone for 3 minutes" which even if that was true, was only because I showed up. I did report this center to the state and to corporate. This center was good once upon a time but needs major help. We will never use this center again.
