    As fine as it gets for dining in Jackson. Veritas is nice. The menu is limited to very good…read moreselections. You can tell they really put a lot of time and thought into just the right menu to create a good mix for any palates. Steaks, pasta, seafood, and specialty entrees. The dessert menu was normal but everything was excellent. Full bar, appropriate live music and intimate booths. It's was prom night when we visited. The bathroom floor was littered with sequins and glitter. It was lovely to see all the pretty girls and dresses. Thankfully our visit was 5:15pm and ahead of the crush. The service was exceptional. We never waited or wondered where she was and she was taking care of it before we knew we needed it. The spinach artichoke dip had a kick and too much lemon but good size. My bone-in ribeye was good but my husband expensive filet was way over cooked. Asked for medium and he got well done. Everyone else raved about their food. The prices here are really high. Our party of 5 cashed out at $465 with tip. The Chophouse prices but not that level of quality. I'm including this so whomever sees this can manage expectations. Drinks have no price but bar tab showed each regular cocktail was $15. MiL was impressed and since it was Mother's Day dinner, glad we chose Veritas.

    My husband and I had a great date night at Veritas! We got dinner here because we had tickets to…read moreDrinks & Deception, a magic show hosted upstairs. I think Daniel Martin might have an ongoing residency at Veritas on select dates, since I've seen tickets go on sale for shows over several months. The show was entertaining, and we liked Daniel! (I will say that nothing in the show truly stumped us, but nonetheless it was fun.) The show does seem sell out quickly when tickets are released! Afterwards, we both ended up getting the surf and turf for dinner and enjoyed every bite. The truffle potato puree was delicious, and the seasonal vegetables for us were these really crispy and perfectly dressed brussels sprouts. The lobster tail was a litttle bit chewy (slightly overcooked?) but still very tasty. The menu's on the pricier side, but there's a good variety of yummy sounding options. We had instructions from our event email to park in the back of the restaurant, in the black lot. I think it's permit only for certain hours, but worked well for us and the evening hours we were there. The ambiance in the restaurant is very nice. I would consider Veritas a nice option for an occasion dinner.

    My three children have been at Paragon for the majority of their school careers. I respect and…read moreappreciate the teachers, staff, and administration. We have had a great experience with Paragon overall. I read the previous review of Paragon and I have some thoughts. I agree their high academic standards do not necessarily make for a perfect classroom setting for hyperactive children. Or even active children. Honestly, if I had my way, Paragon would follow more of a Montessori-style structure and would allow for kids to have more hands-on learning and less time in their seats. However, most of the teachers my kids have had have been fairly creative in their approaches to dealing with students' needs. For example, many teachers incorporate dance breaks or allow students non-traditional seating, like a big exercise ball so they can bounce their wiggles out. Many of the teachers offset the boring (but necessary) lessons with learning games and engaging activities. One of my favorite things about Paragon is the people. Along with having caring, patient teachers and administration, the other parents and students are overall respectful, kind, and helpful. Prior to Covid, Paragon held frequent school-wide events, which were usually very well-attended, indicating an unusually high level of parent involvement. There is also a high emphasis on moral character. Each month (or maybe trimester?) has a different moral focus emphasizing that month's virtue (perseverance, encouragement, kindness, integrity, responsibility, etc.). I love this so much! More than being successful academically or professionally, I believe today's kids need to learn these moral virtues. What good is it if your child is the highest paid, most awarded pigglegiggologist if he's also a selfish butthole who cheated on his wife and left his kids for the nanny and yells and humiliates waiters because they get his order wrong? Also, I have to say just a random snippet about the principal, Mr. Kriesch. I happened to be in the office one day last year when I heard Mr. Kriesch's voice from his office. Clearly, a kid had been acting out in his class and had to go see the principal. I didn't see or hear the kid but overheard Mr. Kriesch explaining to the student the importance of allowing the teacher to teach and the other students to learn. It wasn't necessarily the words he was saying, but the respectful way he addressed the student. It was as if he fully expected the student to rise to the level of maturity with which he was being treated. I have no idea if the kid actually started right, but I know he probably left feeling heard and like Mr. Kriesch believed the best of him. Also, during the virtual learning this past year, I have appreciated the lengths the teachers have gone to to make things as clear and as smooth as possible in a less-than-ideal scenario. I have also appreciated their grace. As a parent of three, it was pretty overwhelming trying to keep up with all the emails and assignments and so I didn't. Not well, anyway. There were dozens of announcements and emails I didn't read, phone calls I didn't listen to and I know my kids missed assignments and missed out on quite a few other things because of this. I dreaded parent/teacher conferences because I figured I would be parent-shamed for my parental laziness. On the contrary, I felt encouraged by each teacher and each seemed to focus on positive attributes, while still addressing my kids' personal challenges. I was pretty grateful for their seemingly non-judgmental feedback.

    My child started at Paragon as a kindergartener in Fall 2020. The rules about in-person, hybrid,…read moreand online schooling were rapidly changing and I was beyond stressed. I cannot tell you how happy I am with the way Paragon stepped up for the plate during this time. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping my kiddo safe while also giving him a great education. The principal is very hands-on and present. Shoutout to Mr. Reigle for being my sons favorite teacher and for getting him excited about computers. We toured 6 elementary schools in and Jackson before deciding on Paragon. I can say with confidence that this school is the best choice for families living in the Jackson Public District.
