We came from an exceptional private school in Jacksonville and have also been very impressed with…read morethe faculty, curriculum and the sports that are offered. We are not Catholic and have been welcomed and accepted. I read another reviewer remarks, and we have not experienced any clicks. We have loved everything about San Jose. The curriculum is very challenging and the school hold the kids to very high standards academically and morally. We have felt that it is a school that requires a lot of family involvement whether it is volunteering in the classroom, sporting events, in the cafeteria or putting on enriching activities for the kids. The school is very diverse and everyone is invited to pitch in. I really love that the kids go through middle school in the same elementary environment. It is a very nurturing and caring environment yet it does not caudal kids. I would highly recommend San Jose Catholic school!

Being new to the area I though it was something to do with Florida's school rules. Trust me it was my first week in Florida. As the year went by, we became donors whenever we could and donated and participated in nearly everything but I suppose of you're not in the SJ click tou NEVER will be welcomed. PS to the ruse teacher running soccer (most teachers here are rude and cruel except Ms Rachel to their students). Anyways, the lady announcing the soccer games perhaps should shut her mike off when getting im the boys fave and saying sick your a@@ down. Long story short, $, click and rudeness. So much for Catholic spirit.

In our three years of experience at RCSAM, we have really enjoyed it. The school is young and…read moreconstantly looking for ways to improve, and following through with action. The administration listens to parent concerns and makes thoughtful changes when needed. The parent-volunteer organization does many fun and creative things during the year to fundraise toward ideas for improvements and fun things for the students and teachers. The after school clubs evolve each year based on experiences in the prior year. The teachers create a challenging environment for students, are caring, encouraging, and responsive to parent concerns. While the school is a charter with STEAM focus, its four locations across Jacksonville align with Duval county in many aspects. We have scene expansions and improvements to the school location done every year, both to the building, the interior, grounds maintenance, and traffic improvements. This is a great school that actively works on being better all the time.

As a mother, I don't write reviews lightly--especially about a school. But I feel a responsibility…read moreto speak up because a child's emotional safety matters just as much as academics. My experience at University Christian School left me very concerned about the way some situations were handled, specifically in interactions involving Jeleen Del Valle. On more than one occasion, I witnessed a tone that felt harsh and intimidating toward students, including yelling. As a parent, it is painful to watch children being spoken to in a way that can embarrass them or make them feel afraid. I also felt disrespected as a parent during communication. Instead of calm, professional conversation, I experienced dismissive responses and a tone that did not reflect patience, empathy, or partnership with families. When parents raise concerns, we should feel heard--not talked down to. Another concern was what appeared to be favoritism, where certain children received gentler treatment while others were corrected in a more aggressive way. In a school environment--especially a Christian school--every child should feel equally valued, protected, and treated with dignity. I truly hope the administration takes parent concerns seriously and improves accountability and communication moving forward. Families deserve a school environment where children feel safe, respected, and supported--every single day.

Steffaney Bass is truly a gem! As the Director of…read moreAdmissions, she goes above and beyond in every way possible. From the very first email, Steffaney made us feel like we were the most important family she was working with. She answers every question promptly, thoroughly, and with such warmth--it's as if she responds with love and light in every message. Transitioning into a new school, especially high school, can be overwhelming, but Steffaney has made the experience smooth, welcoming, and honestly, joyful. Her attentiveness and kindness made my daughter and I feel not just seen, but valued. She has truly set the tone for what we hope will be an amazing school journey. As a Dean of Students for DCPS, I've worked with countless professionals in education--but Steffaney stands out. Her proactive approach and genuine care for each family are qualities I'll be taking back with me to my own district. She is truly a light, and any school is blessed to have someone like her representing it. I am beyond impressed and deeply grateful. Thank you, Steffaney, for everything!

She has beautiful handwriting, a good attitude, a great vocabulary, and she understands self-governance and the virtues being taught there. Her education is well rounded. I continue to be impressed by the robust but doable assignments and projects she brings home. The school is continuing to grow is is focused on continuous improvement, creating a safe environment and one that enables students to learn and to develop. I would humbly submit that the also deliver even more than one could ask for. Additionally, they are regularly offering events, onsite and offsite that you can participate in. The onsite events are not expensive if you choose to do a Spirit night and support a local business it's not too expensive. The new gym, the Hangar (Jet themed of course) is complete, athletics are coming along nicely, they will have more Arts offerings, clubs are happening.... If you refuse to be pleased here I don't know what to tell you. They're responsive. I have not had one experience that made me feel like no one cares. Are they perfect? No, of course not who or what is? But, JXC is damn good. Period.

Not too sure if I cared for that my daughters last two teachers were very approachable and were more sociable and got the opportunity to know myself and my child a bit better. She's very closed off and honestly a bit odd but does educate my child. The teacher was very by the book and kept me informed of all activities in a timely fashion. However, not sure if is the school or the teacher but it seems her other school had parents more involved. My mother and I used to volunteer between two and five days a week I sign a form at the beginning of the year to come in very 2 weeks and do art history lessons to the class and I was never contacted. As well as I have offered several times to volunteer and was never contacted. I also wish there was more clarification on release of parent information. The teacher gave my info to the room mother someone I didn't know and she "accidentally" attached me to an email ad for some kind of diet pill she was selling! Told the teacher no apology from them but emails stopped. Recently I started receiving emails from another parent....that's frustrating!! Besides these quirks the school it self is very nice, clean, great staff. She's only in second grade so here's to 3 more years!!
