Class sizes are ever expanding (some grades have 8 classes with over 30 kids per class), the school doesn’t allow any parent volunteers or visits, all events must be held outside because there’s too many parents to have them come inside the school building. Not enough paraeducators or inclusion helpers, and they will fight tooth and nail not to grant IEPs and 504 plans. Meanwhile the school has brand new developments that keep getting squeezed in right beside it or directly across the street so that more kids can enroll, and the county won’t even fully fund the school system’s budget.

Your child will receive individualized attention. Faculty and staff are responsive to parent concerns. During the Covid shut down, SJE never missed a beat. Students were given proper instruction during distance learning. The principal held regular Zoom meetings for parents to voice concerns and to hear updates. You couldn't ask for a better environment for your child.
