The school has had a few bumps along the way, which happens at every school that is just starting out, but the dedication of the administration and staff cannot be matched. My daughter is receiving an unparalleled education and would not consider going to any other school. I highly recommend Laura Jeffrey Academy to any family that is interested in a girl focused urban education.

I'm a former staff member. I was sexually harassed by another staff member of LJA, and when I…read morereported the harassment to a member of Leadership, they responded "well his name is always in your mouth so". Leadership did not take my report seriously at all. According to the handbook, there is "zero tolerance for sexual harassment", but apparently there is if the harasser is popular. The Leadership Team is good in theory, but not in practice because they have clear favorites, and aren't afraid to show it. They operate more like a high school clique, rather than a Leadership team. I brought my concern to the board, but I am still waiting to hear back. This is incredibly disappointing coming from a school that preaches inclusivity and safety. Academically, the school has amazingly talented teachers, staff and scholars, but the way they operate is a complete mess. (My Google review was deleted, but I will not be silenced!!)

I attend a Afro Caribbean Dance class here. I don't know if that means I'm able to write a proper…read morereview for the school, but I will write what I know about it. There are many entrances, which is nice, but also hard a long walk if you park by the wrong door without knowing it. The lockers seem really skinny but tall, would seem hard to fit a normal size backpack in one unless you mush it inside. There are multiple classrooms as I walked the halls, like I said I'm taking a dance class there and even the dance class is a proper dancing class space. I didn't have that in the school I went to when growing up. Also didn't have a dance class to take. Anyway, there are many pros and cons to a school, but since I'm not in school I don't know the day to day life and security of it all. I do know that when I arrive to my after school hours class, they do have a person who sits in the hall of the main doors(we are told to enter) and helps direct people who seem like they are wondering and don't belong. That is also a plus I feel for the school and the property. Overall, I would take class here again, I have heard that it is somewhat of a sketchy place to park your car, my friends told me never to leave anything valuable in your car, because of break-ins that have happened, but I never had valuables in my car to begin with. I also think people should be careful regardless of where they are parked. School parking lot or not.

The dinner also comes with a good amount of sides--a soft roll with butter, mixed vegetables, a baked potato with sour cream, and a brownie. They do a nice job of making pick ups easy.

I open the container slightly so the fish stays crispy. It's all very tasty!

She's a first time principal and seems to feel a need to make her mark on a school that was superb before she arrived. First thing she did was to ban the annual dance because student's feelings might get hurt. We've been having the dance for years and I seriously doubt that anyone's feeling have gotten hurt. That's more a junior high and high school thing. Next she banned high fives and handshaking, again because people might get hurt. When I was in school we had classes in etiquette that included shaking hands, but I guess she feels she knows what's best for our children. Lately, she has removed the door between a busy hallway and the girls bathroom because of an act of vandalism. Apparently she feels that exposing a couple of hundred girls to the eyes of any passerby when they're in the bathroom is an appropriate punishment for an act of vandalism by one student. Group punishment rarely works - can only work if the group knows who the offender is - and should never be used to shame and embarrass children about using the bathroom. When asked about her decision she replied that she wasn't punishing anyone, she just removed the door. Looking for a great school? You're a few years too late for this one.
