Horrible I Don’t Recommend This School For No One Everything About This Have Discuss Me In All Type Of Ways And It’s Sad That I Have To Say This But It’s The Truth If You Want Your Child To Succeed I Recommend 100% You Find Them Another School Because This One Is Not It All……..

My son started here in the 6th grade. Kids bully kids right in front of teachers and staff. The Language the kids use is unbelievable. Kids cusrse at the staff and teachers. More parents should come to school to see their kids behavior. I am sorry I put my child in this type of environment. Police should be on campus everyday and not just at the front desk.

I had two children that went to this school so let me just say please do not let the high test scores fool you! This school is a mess. After COVID teachers were scarce. Classrooms were bonded together with substitutes then they would just up and leave but let’s start with supervision. This school does not only have no support staff to make sure children are safe the kids walk in and out and do whatever they want. There was group vapping in the bathroom. No announcement or anti-drug actions sent home or given to the kids. Children “missing” for an hour on campus. Fighting in the bathrooms and being inappropriate. Teachers with no classroom management so then all the kids are now acting out. The principal might as well be a ghost because your not gonna see him. Social-emotional… nothing special done on the 1st day of school. Nothing special for graduating kids unless parents do it. No anti drug rallies or anti bullying group discussions. The 5th and 6th graders bully the kinders. A mess. All info comes last minute. If your child is going to win an award they do not even tell you. You miss core memories with your child. Main office nobody knows anything except how to mark your kid tardy. School is dirty. Trash all over the place. Lunch time is MESS! And it’s just lunch but so unorganized! Especially for kindergarten. Parent involvement is hard to get because there is no investment made from the school. Parents are not encouraged to help, they are asked to help last minute and then if an event is cancelled they will not even tell you! After buying a ton of uniforms you see it’s not enforced AT ALL! The magnet testing person is rude and discouraged the children publicly. When there is a struggling class they do not know how to manage it and help the children. Staff does not care. Good things- more programs then most schools in the area. Music, chorus, great art teacher, etc. FLI is a great program with good teachers. All the arts are nice and a few teachers care but most are subs or new to teaching. The school is large and has a lot of wasted land. No garden etc.

Unfortunately this school keeps getter worse as the years go on. There is absolutely no supervision children are vaping on campus! Fights are a regular. Including adults fighting in front of the children. Staff are not held accountable for the lack of teaching or resources. The school struggles with keeping teachers, that is a sign of poor management. The principal is a joke, sweeps everything under the rug. I agree with another parent who said they have a strict no cell phone policy! Yes it's so the children can't record what is really going on at KJSA. This is not an academy and for it to be so small you would think they would have control of this institution. The teachers barley show up to teach. Ambulance was called due to a child overdosing. A student not only started a fire in the bathroom but also fell through the roof of the bathroom. Oh and if your child is in need of an IEP good luck with that, they will tell you they do not qualify without a proper assessment. Absolutely no student/parent support. It shows majority of the staff is there for a paycheck. If your a concerned parent you become a threat! This is a poor environment with lack of care and compassion for these students. This is critical years for a child and if the adults can't model positive behavior for these children this is not the proper establishment for anyone! Look at the scores that should be sufficient enough.
