Global Outreach Charter Academy

I have three children that are currently attending GOCA and it has really been a blessing. My children are reading above grade level and are learning russian. I am very pleased.

GOCA is a great little learning community that aims for high academic achievement and targets the needs of the students both socially and academically. So far, working with the team at GOCA has been an excellent and exhilarating experience!

Disorganized and building in disrepair. I know that money for repairs are hard to come by but, that is no excuse for the way the school looks inside and out. School work turned in is lost as well and information that parents need to help their kids succeed. I am glad that we are pulling out at mid term. I know that we will be happy with our new school. It could not be worst for this is the worst school any of my kids have been in.

As a mother of five children ranging from 5 yrs of age to 24 yrs of age, I have experienced many schools and teachers and I want everyone to know that none have compared to Global Outreach. The teachers are professional and genuinely care about the students success. Communication is encouraged. My kids absolutely love this school. The Teachers, Principal and Staff are awesome!!!!

There is no communication between administration, teachers and parents. The teachers and administration is very lacking in common curticy and how to deal with the kids and parents. It is so bad that I pulled my 3 kids out and we are very happy in our new schools. At the new schools the staff treat us as parents and not as kids.

This is a new school and i was suprised at the leaderships goals to make this school a positive staple in the community. So far I am very happy with my choice as I see the positivity that the leadership has about teaching its students.

Always fights. They don't do anything to get rid of the bullies they give them a warning and let them go. Teachers are rude and mean. They don't clean dishes in the cafeteria often, and the staff are useless. They don't listen at all

This is my sons 2nd year at this school. We loved the first year but this year has been a nightmare. My son has came home with claw marks, and bruises. he has been hit, kicked pinched everyday all year.I have spoken with the Principle, His Teacher and the Dean of students but nothing is ever done about it :( Words cannot espress how much i dislike this school.I am also a very involved parent and my son is on honor roll and has maintained a A in conduct this whole year so no one from the Global staff who by the way are the ONLY ONES posting positive comments about this school can say my child is a problem or that he has an uninvolved parent .I feel very sad to have to write this as i was the one who wrote the first positive review. My advice is DO NOT send you child here!! MY son will not be returning.

No words can describe the outrageous conditions nor the way the children are treated. Lets just leave it at that.

Can you give a negative star rating. A fellow parent just told me about this site and I am about to spread the word. This has to be the worst school in JAX. So sad to see how unhappy the kids and teachers are. And we know if your kid is unhappy it reflects in the grades. Its is a junior jail. And the loud mouth in the lunch on the mike, please just get out of the school profession if you are going to act like that to the kids. It sounds so abusive, even the restraunt customers complain about her. The guy in charge needs to wake up and make some serious changes for the next year, if there are enough kids left to keep the school open. So many are not going to return next year, the only reason they are staying this year is because there is no room in any other schools. The high ratings must be from someone that gets paid to be at the school because parents and students do not praise this school at all.
