Given its resources, the school has served my children sufficiently well. The teachers and administrators are respectful to me and have provided academic and emotional support to my daughters. In order to ensure that a school supports one's children, one must support the school and one's child. Children thrive academically when there is support at school and at home for their learning, which means that parents should take some responsibility for their children's learning and progress.The only resource I wish the school had for students struggling academically is tutoring--which would contribute to more equitable outcomes--but that is something the district would have to fund or parents to pool enough funds to support.

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.

It's a hidden gem. It's a great school and I highly recommend it. I love the diversity it provides and the dedicated focus on creating a culture of inclusion. The community is passionate about the school and hence is supported by a very strong PTO. My shy first grader in thriving in this new school and I couldn't be any happier.

My daughter was being bullied by kids and a mom in front of the school and the principal wanted to take no liability because it was on the sidewalk not inside. Addressed this with her various times. And did nothing. My daughter also got kicked in the bathroom by a couple of girls after surgery and the principal did nothing but tell them not to do it again. The principal puts no effort Into addressing any of these issues

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.
