We were blessed to have had the following amazing teachers; Mrs. Lane, Mrs Kulley and Mrs. Davidoff! The principal is also hands on and dedicated to making sure Timberlin Creek is the best it can be. Go Eagles!!!

Timberlin has the best teachers around. Mrs. Hutchins, their principal, was able to hand pick her teachers and they are great with all the students! The parent/community involvement is one the best I've seen.

TCE has been a great education and leadership center for my son. ALL of the staff is extremely caring and concerned. The parents and community have a lot of input into the school happenings and it is gladly accepted. I am a Duval County graduate and can say TCE and SJCPS surpass anything any other county in Florida can produce. AWESOME JOB TCE!

Because Timberlin Creek creates a great environment for my children to learn academically and socially. The character counts and stop bullying programs are helping to ensure my children grow up to be civic minded and self-aware, rather than self-centered.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing in grades 4, 8 and 10. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
