Gross disparity in disciplinary action taken against students for the same exact behavior. Be careful of this administration. Don't expect transparency. Consider yourself lucky if they are honest with you. Do your own due diligence. They certainly won't do it. They make decisions that are unethical, inconsistent and contradict their own code of conduct.

We are devastated that our time at Theodore Judah is about to come to an end in a few months. My stepson has been part of the TJ community since kindergarten. We have had such a positive experience these past 6 years. As a teacher, I am pretty picky about fellow teachers and the climate that they create in their classrooms. I must say each teacher that we were lucky enough to have are engaging instructors and passionate about the experience they provide for their students. They don't stop caring about your kid when they move on to the next grade level. When I would bump into his former teachers on campus, they were always quick to ask how our guy was doing. I know the academy receives a lot of praise but I have to vouch for the mainstream classrooms that they have at Theodore Judah. Our son was challenged and I feel like he is well prepared for middle school because of the foundation set by all of his teachers. We also can not say enough positive things about the captain of this campus. Mr. Peterson is a rare breed of administrator. His love for his students, the staff and the TJ community oozes out of him. We always felt like our son was safe and well cared for while on campus. We are forever grateful for our time spent at Theodore Judah. I know we will always be part of the Cougar Community and our connection with the school will last long after our guy is promoted to middle school. My only complaint is that it isn't a K-8 campus.

Great school and staff if your student is having problems with traditional school. No drama approach that allows students to focus and even excel in their studies. Small classes and they are there to help.

I am at a lost for words at how terrible this school is. It has only gotten worse with the relatively new Principal (Princiapl Mcfall). He only cares about his image so he will lots of bullying go unchecked and foster a bad environment at school so to not upset the parents of said bullies. They need to change leadership asap at this place. Its ridiculous. There is also cliques inside the school, where teachers and staff will target parents of victims of bullies and belittle them. Basically there is no support for victims of bullies bc admin themselves sympathize with bullies. I have been to many school as a grandparent, and let me tell you this is truly the worst. It’s not gonna be long before they get hit with a lawsuit for endangering kids. A lot of the staff here seem to think that time will wash their negligence but it won’t because the statute of limitations goes for 5 years, so any bullying or endangerment still has to be throughly investigated. Lastly, the racism in this school is very passive aggressive. They especially do not like Chinese or Muslim students and families.
