GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We love it here, I love the School and the environment, and my daughter's teacher was very helpful with schoolwork. My daughter also says that the girls here are much nicer than those at the other St. John's school she previously attended. That is the reason why I give 5 stars. All of the staff are friendly, and my daughter is insanely happy here.

I absolutely despised going to that school due to the relentless bullying and harassment from the students and from some of the staff as well. The food was also… questionable… and the school layout seemed prison-like. That school is n...

The past three years at this school have been incredibly challenging for my child. I am relieved that there are only six weeks remaining in the school year. The persistent bullying from students, coupled with the authoritarian attitudes exhibited by some teachers and administrators, is truly horribl...

Coming from New England, I’ve realized how lacking Florida schools are. It’s no wonder why the literacy rate in Florida is 7th -8th grade level. Fruit Cove MS has a deficit of adequately qualified teachers and I’m mortified by the low expectations. Test scores here are shameful compared to most stat...
