South Ocala Elementary School

"Great school! My boys loved it there"

"So unhelpful, I have had bad experiences with this school with new administration I had hopes things would have changed. And yet...no the receptionist is always cold and unhelpful and any hopes I had in getting assistance or warmth of any kind were quickly dispelled in "we don't do that", "we can't help you"and a number of other things that always remind me this school is not set up to help. I feel badly for the good teachers here. I shall go elsewhere and shall avoid this school. Too bad it DOES have potential."

"Loved how the teachers help my friend's daughter (she has a hearing problem ) . They are so nice and try their best to make everyone comfortable."

"Trying very hard with this school. Many excellent teachers but there are some teachers that should NOT be teaching. When approaching administration and most importantly the Principal you hit a wall. I mean that literally no response no reaction nothing at all and certainly no plan of action for improvement. More than anything what you get is this overall sense of Principal way or the highway. Ultimately the Principal is responsible for the school and the teachers they hire. So with a grade of C and some teachers that yell and belittle the children I would like to know how this will fare in the months to come. Marion county educationally is poor in comparison to other counties, this school's administration is not supportive of the ESE programs and you will have to fight for absolutely everythinng. Not sure what the other options are out there, but I am very disappointed in this school and it's administration that loves to spin wheels."
