Terrible. This school practices discrimination, especially against single mothers. it is severely…read moreunderfunded, the admin is so bad many families and staff have left. There is no diversity. They allow bullying and abuse with no consequences and victim blaming is a regular thing. If you have the courage to bring a problem to the admin, you will be gaslight and dismissed. We went here for 7 years before we realized how awful it really was. There were a lot of red flags I wish we would have left years before. There were students in 4th grade that weren't able to read. They claim to have a wellness policy and then feed the kids junk food. It's clicky, fake community mostly that doesn't authentically support each other. Cant unrecommended enough. This school harms children and families in serious ways

This is a wonderful school. My children have been attending for the past 5 years. The staff get to…read moreknow your family quickly and have their best interest at heart. They have a wonderful music program and a library filled with books the children can borrow. They host fun events for families (they did more before Covid and are beginning to start up again now). The teachers are amazing. They have a garden filled with vegetables that the kids plant. They vermicompost the food eaten at the cafeteria. They use solar panels to power the school. Our two daughters have learned so much from their time at this school!

There is so many great things to focus on - lots of great activities, great academics, great kids, and great families. It is a beautiful environment with plenty of room for the kids to play outside. The teachers are accessible, mostly very friendly, and mostly super willing to help your child. Also, because it is a K-8 there is a great mixture of ages which I think can help the youngers as well as the olders. Of course, there have been moments that didn't go perfectly, but I think that should go without saying as there are bound to be difficulties in any setting. While the academics are vigorous, I wouldn't say that the pace of work is for everyone. Not only the children, but often the families need to be deeply involved in the kid's work to make sure they are staying on pace. It can be challenging, but, again, in our experience, it has been a fantastic place. As a family, we're very grateful to have found JCS.

This fundraiser had lots of decent goods along with a bake sale - I usually go to scan through the books and have had tremendous success on recent visits. The folks that volunteer for this event area all friendly and kind, they are even set up with a card reader to make transactions easier on people. Lots of kids clothing, some housewares and footwear - all for cheap. Worth a visit. Watch for the signs. 3.5 rounded up for supporting a good school program. 00345
