I am very pleased with this school and highly recommend it to anyone wanting their child to get a good education. KIPP is a charter school with a different outlook. The class days are long and the work is hard, but the support system provided is excellent. Their goal is to prepare the children for high school and college and I truly believe my daughter is more prepared for high school now than the average 8th grader.

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.

My children have attended PVPV/Rawlings since 2008. This is the best elementary school in the…read morehighly-praised Saint Johns County School District. 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. The very active PTO does so much each year to support the efforts of teachers and staff, and to raise additional support for the school.

What a great school. This is a smaller high school, everyone knows each other and so its a…read morecomfortable place for the kids. The sports teams are not so good but the kids give it their all. The school offers a christian based education, with college prep classes and they offer AP and honors too. The teachers seem to mostly be nice and the place is like a big family. The facilities are nice, kept up well, and SAFE. I am ever so happy I found this place to send my kids, they are thriving here!

Politics aside, like another reviewer, my daughter loves her school and is excited to go every day!…read moreNow in her third year, passing the standardized tests hasn't been an issue, nor does she feel any anxiety over them. Like in real life, she's learned to adapt and thrive with the current education model. JCE also has a much more well rounded curriculum, with resource classes such as art, music, computer, health, and PE - classes other schools in adjacent counties have cut out. With the caring teachers, bright environment, and an emphasis on family involvement, I wouldn't give this school anything less than 5 stars. Give the local school board and state and fed DoE a 1 star review if we're talking the politics of the current education system, don't take it out on this school.

The overwhelming goal is to maintain high test scores on standardized, computer administered tests…read morethat last about 2 hours and are administered to students about 4 x a year, beginning in Kindergarten. If a student fails the standardized testing in 3rd grade, even if that same student excels in all class work and class tests, failure on standardized testing dictates that student is a "mandatory hold back." I.e., the student will not be allowed to advance to 4th grade & will repeat the 3rd grade. Teachers' salaries are tied to students' performance on standardized testing. Too many resources are diverted into maintaining high standardized test scores but to what end? On 5/18/12 The Washington Post wrote "Florida's standardized testing program is being misused & has severely impacted student learning." So many resources are diverted into maintaining high standardized test scores, that there are woefully insufficient resources allocated to ensure School Administrators & Directors are trained in student safety programs such as SESIR & the District's own Code of Conduct. Clay & Duval Counties report SESIR incidents at a much higher rate than St. Johns County schools. I do not believe this is because there are fewer incidents in St. Johns County. I believe this is because such incidents are unreported based on my own recent experience with a JCE Administrator and Director, one of whom admitted she had no training in & therefore no awareness of the existence of SESIR; the other was aware she was a Mandatory Reporter but had no idea of the existence of SESIR. The safety of children should be of paramount concern and priority. Even if the test scores were not an invalid indicator of later success, what would it matter if schools are unaware & untrained in executing their duty to keep children safe?
