Old Coach Hills

This is the worse school ever the stuffing sucks so bad I had to take my son out and switch to henrico school and he is doing so much better they don’t know how to work with black kids

This school if full of staff that does not care about kids. The few that do have no voice and are usually the ones who don't work here very long. They claim to be all hands on deck but no one has any idea what is actually going on in the classrooms. Bullying is bad and the staff do not care until it gets to the point where kids are struggling with their mental health and mental health providers become involved. Then they start to want to listen when your kid is diagnosed with depression and is having suicidal thoughts. Terrible school and careless staff if you can send your kids elsewhere.

I was employed at the school. This place has a notorious reputation for being a poor school. I worked there for a year and was forced to resign due to the principal, giving me such a poor review after several struggles with behavior, problems, ranging from students, destroying my classroom and fits of rage, throwing chairs, and fighting each other. I mentally could not handle the stress, and it affected my professionalism. There were teachers who disrespected other teachers asked inappropriate title, nine violation questions such as Are you gay? they would also refuse to assist in any disciplinary action when extreme behaviors hindered the class from learning. even during a classroom observation, the principal chose not to intervene with two kindergarten students who were physically attacking each other, and I had to be in the middle of it. I thought that this was incredibly unprofessional, and was a chosen act to have me look bad, so he could prove that I wasn’t meeting the standards of a teacher who could continue working for CCPS. after being placed on administrative leave pending my non-renewal of my contract, I chose to resign and put the matter to rest for my own well-being. Now I’ve just been left, struggling to make ends meet as a teacher working in a lower paying job than before, w-paying job than before, with my reputation hindered due to false and one-sided accusations. I wish the school no luck, and I hope reform comes down the line to help the students at the school progress forward and not backwards each year with new administrations and continuing behavior and disruptions throughout the school year each day.

This school in my opinion has went down so much. Literally, the only thing I like is my child’s teacher. The office staff are rude and ever since Ms. Nevers left it’s a completely different vibe. I so thankful my fifth grade is almost out of there.

Jacobs Road Elementary School provides a truly exceptional educational environment where children genuinely thrive. Both the teaching staff and the administration consistently go above and beyond to create a safe, supportive, and highly engaging community for students and their families.

The school used to be really good, it offered computers and foreign lang, those resource classes have fallen by the wayside. The principal has left and the school is being run by the board. Students have left at such a great rate that for the past 2 years they've combined grades. This meant that the teacher only had have half the time to teach each grade, of course the children's learning suffered. I can not recommend this school at this time.
