This school provides a good experience for diverse learning abilities. The principal is excellent and award winning, and is accessible, available, and takes an interest in each child. Teachers vary in teaching style, but our experience in Kindergarten, First, and Third grades has been excellent. The administrators, counselor, new school psychologist, and teachers are available to meets needs for children with different abilities. There are some truly amazing teachers that have a heart for learning and meeting each child where they are in development. To address some previous reviews, this is a public school so they cannot select one demographic over another. Our experience with Kindergarten was a welcoming class that made the curriculum accessible for children with no preschool or learning background, so I must strongly disagree with two of the other reviews here. I am a parent unaffiliated with any teachers or administrators at Junaluska Elementary. Every experience will vary based on grade, child's learning ability, and teacher, but this school has for the most part been excellent for early primary education.
