As an educator with four children our family found you are either in a really great classroom or in a classroom where your child just filled space. Two years in a row our GATE child has been bored, unchallenged and not well supported by the teachers. Parents offer great support in the classroom but

We chose this area to live in because Jerabek is so highly rated and have regretted the choice now for two out of four years. Read less

I have had three children go through Jerabek. We have always been impressed by the level of experience and dedication of our teachers. I am also impressed by the number of dedicated parents who volunteer in each classroom. It's like having two or more teachers in each class, every day. What was very

Parents have been the resource badly needed to provide extras like science, art and technology. I want to personally thank all parents who give of their time and money to make Jerabek what it is.

Very disappointed in the teaching method of my sons teacher and 'one size fits all' attitude. Our GATE child was not challenged and became bored.

Jerabek is a great school in terms of the academic curriculum and parent involvement and in my opinion, rates high in those area.

Although this school is strong overall there are some glaring deficiencies in the teaching staff. Most teachers are dedicated and caring, but some simply need to retire or move on. If your chid doesn't 'fit the mold' of the typical student they're out of luck in the classrooms of these teachers. The

Jerabek is a fantasic school due to its teacher's dedication and the extreme amount of parent involvement. San Diego Unified School District continues to cut funding for all schools thus making Jerabek's administration heavily dependant upon monitary contributions from Jerabek families. These funds
... Read more pay for many of the extra's that Jerabek provides to its students: ie. art, computers, librarians and yard monitors. Every child is given the best education possible. Jerabek will continue to be an outstanding school, as long as the families are able to fund the district budgetiary cuts. The only draw back is that Jerabek is on a year-round school schedule while all of the other schools in Scripps Ranch are on a traditional school year schedule. If you have children in middle or high school their vacations will not coorespond to Jerabeks. Taking vacations can be difficult. Read less

They don't get the true GATE child at all. If you like walking in lock-step, it might be a good school. Not for free thinkers. Spanish and art take up a lot of time that could be used to avoid hours of homework per week, or learning something interesting instead of rote memorization. Those used
