My wife and I are very pleased with H.A. Jones Elementary School. We believe our son is ahead of his peers outside of this school system. He is learning things in 4th grade that we, ourselves, were not exposed to until later in our school careers. We are especially pleased with the teacher/parent

This is a great location for children to grow and learn. The instructional program is excellent and offers music, art, computer and Spanish classes. Teachers and administrators welcome parents into the classrooms. I am proud to have been a parent and grandparent of children in this school.

If you asked me what I thought about this school before visiting this site, all my comments would've been praises. I checked out all this site had to say about this school and found out that it's a failing school. I plan to call the Board of Education tommorrow. As a failing school we are supposed to

We moved into Bremen just so our child could attend this school. Come to find out it was failing all along Why haven't we been informed of this? If we are to begin given the option to choose another school that isn't failing then why haven't we been. I can't believe I didn't think of checking into this before enrolling my child here. Parent- think long and hard before coming to HA Jones. What about these parents paying tuition because they think their child is in the best school in the area. I know I was fooled. Worst of all, my daughter can never go back in time to those past two years of school where her education and instruction could've been better if the school had done their job and informed these parents that the school was not all it's cracked up to be.

My son has been going to this school for six years, and as each year passes I grow more and more disappointed. The faculty cares more about image and standardized test scores than it does about actual learning. This school does look good on paper, and there is a lot of hype surrounding this school.

There is no real effort made to try and encourage parent involvement, and I have even been told by one teacher she would prefer if I didn't visit the classroom too often (this was in second grade). My advice to any parent considering this school would be to check it out thoroughly for yourself before you enroll. You know if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Read less
