John D. Floyd Elementary School
I do not know what experience that parent had but I was a parent volunteer for months and I also am a substitute for this school and I have found that the teacher involvement is exceptional and the middle school is fantastic the teachers are very vested in the students development and I highly recommend this school for k-8. I had the option to send my kids to a magnet school in the area and honestly I think Floyd is the best school for them.

This school was horrible for my kids to go to there was limited parental involvment and kids are required to learn on their own and are not tought eficently If I had to choose a worse school to send my child to it would be JD Floyd.
