I can't say enough great things about Jones. Wonderful, supportive teachers and staff, a principal who cares, parents who want to participate, great kids. I have 2 children who attend, and they are thriving. They are excited to go to school every day. They are learning so much in creative, innovative ways. My kids have done everything from yoga in class to gardening and robotics. Family engagement is over and above with many fun events for both parents and students, on and off campus. We have an art program fully funded by the PTA as that is not something that is provided by the district. STEAM, VAPA, field trips, performances, fun educational assemblies, parent workshops are just some of the programs to mention. After school care and other clubs and sports are also available on campus. Well kept grounds, new STEAM rooms in kinder classes, huge library with a wide variety of literature. Most of the teachers have been around for many years. My little one is one of the youngest in his class, started school not reading much at all and is now reading above grade level. Thank you Jones Elementary!!

Run away. Your child is not safe here. Seriously, it is unsafe. My child was assaulted there in PE and now has a potential fractured growth plate in his arm, wearing a cast. Their backpack was slashed with a knife. All n the first two months. Is it worth the risk seeing what happens next? NOPE!! RUN AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL! It’s for bullies. Don’t let your child be hurt next. They can’t keep your kids safe.

Horrible. It offers two honors classes, so students applying to good colleges can't compete unless they have a super high SAT score, because of the lack of rigor. When you complain or file a legitimate grievance, they blacklist you and take it out on your child including not nominating them for scholarships, not completing forms for college applications, etc. They are absolutely horrible. The teachers are decent. The principal is the worst I've ever seen. She cares more about herself and how she looks than the students. I had a student with a 4.0 that was denied admission by several colleges just because the school never submitted the documents needed, in spite of being request months in advance. If you want your child to go to college, don't go here. The student that said they had a 4.5 - that is a lie - with only the 2 honors courses, a 4.5 GPA is absolutely impossible.

I’m an early graduating senior, an opportunity open to anyone willing to stay on track and work hard. I’m currently participating in one of the school’s unique experiences - by graduation, I will be a certified emergency medical technician (EMT), a unique program offered by the school. I also have a friend in the certified nurses assistant program, and they will be a CNA by graduation. Incredible opportunities not available elsewhere as far as I know. Many of us have also graduated with about a year of college already done, thanks to the dual enrollment program with mesa college up the road. Thanks for a great four years, Kearny BST.

The school was decent mediocre teachers that just want the paycheck. I remember taking biology here and getting this crazy teacher named Horowitz that to this day I don't know if she was bipolar or hated life or both. So, advice is to just switch out if she even still teaches there, and make sure to follow the very strict dress code.
