JP Stevens is a great school that prepares you for success! The school has excellent facilities and a great infrastructure.

This school is HORRIBLE.It's anything but safe at this school. Discrimination, people say the n word all the time, are racist, mysgonistic, shaming on same gender relationships, it's BAD. They shame if your'e fat, if your'e too tall, if your'e too short, if you wear socks or not, it's like students take a maginifying glass and stare at you for flaws.Look at the percentiles, its 86% asian(AKA, all Indian), other races are not accommodates, in the 27 African American people in the school I know a few, some close some indirect normally they are either really nice people who get misrepresented and disliked by school staff or they are straight up bullies.There's no social support, the Guidance is grumpy and horrible, they restrict your bathroom time with SmartPass, the head conscoulser wouldn't let me get a helper even tho I was straight up limping, could BARELY walk by the way, they block everything and act surprised when students use proxies, they censor even Google Classroom once, teachers monitor your screen 24/7 without actually teaching, and there are ADS in school resources.Your grades are 40% defined by your teachers(either they are nice or they are HORRIBLE), 30% defined by luck(if your teacher actually look at it, if you didn't have anything to do that night, yk), and 10% your effort(with 20% defined by your'e mental state).Mentally, there's always competition across the entire school, people shame over not choosing one elective or the other, there's no accommodation.There are two 8th grade students who have had miscarriage 3 TIMES. How does a school allow that.The extracirriculars feel like a extension to regular school, parents make everything worse forcing us to take extracurriculars we don;t have energy for, tuition which is school hell on steroids because we survived a school day already, idkThere's no recess, I literally hear screaming, mistreated Special Ed kids each day, the lunch ladies don't let us even WALK in the cafe, let alone talk to a friend NEXT to our table, the substitutes are entitled..Learning is basically defined by your teachers. Normally, endless homework, no breaks, and the teachers, oh well you can't even SPEAK to them.The only thing keeping this school alive is the fact that people actively break the rules to get a fresh gasp of air, which shouldn't happen in the first place, and the nice teachers out there.I've seen drugs get dealed, school drama to a concerning point, and psychical threats.NO.

This review is primarily for one 5th grade teacher by the name of Sonal Patel. I'm not sure if it's because she is new or something else but she invests a lot of time in the appearance of her classroom but not in her teaching. Many parents with students in the class share my same opinion. We collectively brought it up to admin. but nothing has been done so far. My son had an amazing teacher last year and progressed so much but this year things have been going downhill. If you're looking for someone who has a great classroom decor then Sonal Patel is your teacher but keep in mind that she doesn't know how to teach.

My son is 3 years who just started this school. I must say the staff of bus service and school teacher is excellent. He has speech delay issue but i can see him already talking when he comes home from school. I must recommand this school to anyone with speech delay.
