I absolutely LOVE St. Johns school, Father Jim, the principal, the teachers and the staff! My oldest child started in Kindergarten and is now a student at JCMS. My youngest is at St. Johns. There was a time my son needed extra academic guidance. The teacher picked up on that and we were able to get

I am a parent of soon to be two children at St. Johns and a member of the Education Commission of St. Johns and a member of the Family Organization Comm. The principal, teachers, staff, and Father Jim are what makes this school one of the best elementary schools Jackson has to offer. My children are

I absolutely disagree with the negative reviews here. I have two children at St. John and have seen them bloom since starting here. There are a great deal of false rumors flying around about children not being allowed to talk during lunch and daily uniform checks. Any parent that spends time with their

The school has an open door policy that encourages parents and caregivers to come in and spend time through the day or to talk with the principal any time. If they would do so, they would see how ridiculously these rumors have blown up and spread causing the current discord throughout the school. Our amazing teachers have stayed in constant contact with us through the year regarding both progress and setbacks, working with us to help our children continue to thrive. Read less

It's a shame to see how poorly the school is doing and the end is in sight. Administration has all but banned the parents from being involved unless you are one of the parents that are the principal's chosen. I thought as Christians that all were equal but this is not how this school sees things.
... Read more My grandchildren currently go to this school and we help with the tuition. I cannot continue to support a school where my children come home crying and upset everyday. The academics have suffered greatly and the prinicpal's only response is 'to keep first things first' and by the time they get to middle school, it will all work out. I guess having second graders crying over their homework because they do not understand it is alright. I'm sorry to see the school going so far down, it really is a shame. Read less
