5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am highly disappointed in this school. Over the past 10-15 years, the school had declined rapidly. Most recently, the morale of the students, the lack of unity between the staff, teachers and administration, the decrease in availability of quality classes and the increase of vaping has become detrimental to this community. It would be best for this school to be taken over by a more qualified school board.Parent Review6y ago - Julian Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm a former student of Julian Elementary School, and my educational experience at Julian Elementary couldn't have been better. Currently, I am about to graduate Julian Union High School, and my future looks incredible bright. I plan to attend my dream school in the upcoming fall semester. It was Julian Elementary that set a strong foundation I was able to build my education upon, enabling me to achieve my present goals. I never had a teacher that held me back. In fact, each teacher I had pushed me farther and farther. They taught me math that was a grade level ahead, gave me extra reading assignments to complete, and never hesitated to expand my knowledge. Most importantly, my teachers from Julian Elementary taught me the importance of personal communication. I felt connected to each of my teachers. This opened the door for communication. I was always welcome to ask questions and share experiences with my teachers, respectfully. When reflecting on my time at Julian Elementary, I only have good thoughts. It's a place of cultivation and character. Any child who attends there will be given a plethora of opportunity.Other Review10y ago - Julian Junior High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFirst the bullying that goes on at this school is bad. The faculty does basically nothing about it. Had my children at this school and any help ask by the child/children basically got left by the wayside. The principal/superintendent is never around and basically doesn't take the time to talk to you.Other Review1y ago
