For the most part I enjoyed my time going to various schools within this district growing up, and there aren't too many things I'm unhappy with. The thing I dislike most is the dissolution of programs that I was able to take, while younger generations won't be able to take them because they're gone, for example a significant part of the technology program (adobe, Microsoft, coding certifications) at Oak View Middle were rid of after I had left.
My experience as being an Alachua County Public School student, has been overall throughout the years great. Although throughout your school experience there will be some bumpy roads and sharp turns the Alachua County School system is very determined and very focused on the needs for every student!
I like how the gifted programs are set up for their students. However it could be improved the help students who aren’t in the programs more because they are left without many resources if they aren’t in a program. Another thing that needs to be improved is consistency. What I mean by that is that many teachers and staff left the schools over the last year and it has had many negative effects on the students . Overall though, the system could be much worse. I’d just like to see improvement within the organization of the schools.
