Extremely disappointing ROI. The academics at JCS are not rigorous enough for middle or high school, leading many families to leave for better public or private options before graduation. The culture is restrictive and "bubble-like," failing to provide the competitive edge needed for college readiness. Save your tuition--this school does not prioritize high academic standards or independent growth. read more

JCS is a good school. There are some really great teachers and coaches here. However, they don't stay. It's a frustrating pattern I've noticed, so many of the best teachers and staff leave the school. We have lost some great teachers and staff that really connected with and motivated students. I hate that this seems to keep happening, and it feels like we're constantly starting over with new faces. read more

Hello, I am a new parent to JCS and a little stunned at what I am dealing with. I have a three kids enrolled - that process was overall easy and we were told the school was growing, happy and academically rich. I wish I had read yelp and glassdoor reviews first now. My kids in 4th and 5th grade watch A LOT of movies - the entire week before Christmas was a waste and the kids came home bored at school but full of sugar. Most of what they are doing is review and there is no accountability for the teachers. I called the Lower School Principal four times and never got a response. They say all the right things, but actually following up and producing that school is a joke. They had two code reds in a week by accident and flat out lied to the parents and faculty and said it was planned. My son is friends with the kid who hit the button....so why lie? If they lied about that, what else? Every meeting we have the questions have to be sent in ahead of time so they can plan the meeting and ignore the questions they dont want - they never meet on zoom live or in person as a group. My son in the Upper School said classes are overflowing, in a time of Covid they have 22-28 kids in some classes - the teachers who I was told taught five classes - many are teaching six and I'm told they are too busy to grade and plan. He said some have openly shared that they are so overwhelmed with the new amount of assignments and workload they are just trying to survive. Then I met a parent who explained it - the turnover - the Upper School Principal, the Advancement Director, the Athletic Director, four quality teachers - the Human Resources Director, the Interim Upper School Principal and the school head nurse all left within months of the new leadership. The new President, the new Chief Academic Officer and the business office are in charge - this and the new "feel" of a school that was sold as a family is focusing on making money. This Mom shared it all and it makes me sad - the school is full of people like my family - moving to Jupiter and looking for a Christian school - and they are the only one in town so they can do what they want. Looking for option.s read more

As I was reading some reviews, there were 2 that stuck out to me. Both Charlene and Mike did a great job of explaining their experience with this school. I am a mother of 3 children that have gone to that school, and in my experience, this can hardly be called a Christian school. I have had one daughter in the East campus (PK-1st) who had a great experience, so I agree with Kelly. My Daughter looked forward to going to school every day, all the staff made it a priority to know all the children. They made learning fun and showed love and kindness towards them. But that stops there. When she had transferred to the West campus, she has experienced everything but this. Every week, my daughter would beg me to let her stay. She refused to go into class, and she was miserable. She was always annoyed that all the other classes in her grade had fun in their class, but they never did anything in hers. It had gotten to the point to where I personally requested for her to change teachers but was denied. I recently had gone to the JCS Gala and saw my daughter's teacher there. Since I never properly met her, I decided to go introduce myself. When I did this, I had gotten nothing short of rudeness and disrespect. I was looked at with disgust and then ignored. I have never had any teacher do that to me. I am also extremely disturbed by the upper school. I have one daughter that begged to be homeschooled. She told me she did not like the environment that she was surrounded by every day. She was constantly around teenagers doing drugs and selling them. There are also numerous students who constantly vape and sleep around. My children tell me constantly how teachers are on top of phone use in school, but there are kids that are obviously high, walking into class with bloodshot eyes. The teachers also pick favorites and make it obvious towards the kids. One teacher told her art class that only one person was up to her expectations and everyone else was an embarrassment to her and does not deserve to be put up in the hall. She also lets everyone know that only one person actually tries in the class and points the person out. I am extremely upset about these two comments. I watched my daughter stay up to 2 in the morning, just working on art projects. I believe that is completely unacceptable. There is another teacher that all the kids have been constantly complaining about. My daughter had to take a quiz every day in this class for a week and had to write an essay that was due the next day. the children have constantly complained to guidance about this issue. There is another teacher that told a child that they had to choose between athletics and academics. I do not agree with this statement at all. I believe children should have a balance of sports and academics in their childhood. As academics are important, athletics are equally as important. Academics teach you information that will make you smarter, but athletics teach how to work well with a team, confidence, discipline, and other important life skills. The students should not be forced to choose between the two. These are just a few reasons and examples that I have that the Jupiter Christian West campus is not up to a Christian level. There are all these problems that are constantly overlooked, or just simply ignored. There are many other things I can list, but if I was to, we would be here all day. read more

I just want to say how much I love Jupiter Christian school east campus! My son is 3 and I enrolled him this summer for PK3.... the campus feels so warm and welcoming.... all the teachers already know my sons name! Even the ones that he doesn't have classes with. His vocabulary has grown he is fully potty trained and has just been so very happy so far with the school year! We love that we made the choice to enroll at JCS! read more

Jupiter Christian Preschool meets the children with a warm and secure environment where play and learning go hand-in-hand. I am over-the-top pleased with the quality care and education provided to my little ones. They are excited to go to school everyday. I get to be informed and involved in their learning. I feel 100% confident that they are being prepared for their next school year, knowing that the teachers strive to meet the children in their own unique way of learning. My children feel valued and heard here. I highly recommend this preschool and school! read more
