Jane D. Hull Elementary School

The administration's response was slow and inadequate, demonstrating a lack of empathy for the victim. The so-called "anti-bullying" policies were not enforced, allowing the aggressors to continue their harmful behavior without consequences. It's disheartening to see a school that claims to prioritize the well-being of its students fail so miserably in providing a safe and supportive environment!!!

This school is an absolute joke! The principal Mrs whitlark doesn’t care about the safety or well being of the students she has made that very clear! The amount of bullying at this school is toxic these kids need to feel supported by their teachers and principal and not be mocked for stepping forward. We want our children to feel safe and valued while getting a proper education. This school does not support a positive learning experience. They have had threats of violence with a weapon and yet that child remains on campus? Physical altercations and verbal abuse by their peers is not ok, when I brought this to the principal she simply said “I can’t control how kids talk in their home” that’s a great thought but this is happening on school grounds during class, lunch and recess. I’ve removed my kids and will never recommend this school to anyone.

While the school, like other CUSD schools, offers special education options and communicates with parents for events or issues, there is rampant white on black racism ( nasty comments and microaggressions) from students and teachers. Be aware that your child may not be in an emotionally safe place!!

We started at another CUSD school just north of Ryan and left within a week. From the minute you walk on campus, you feel like a part of the Royal family. Mr. Durham is gracious, understanding and partners with families. My children started to love school again, after coming to Ryan. Great atmosphere!

My children have attended Montessori Christian Academy for several years and we couldn't be happier with the school and the progress our children have made. They are learning to be responsible for themselves, reading and writing in cursive, learning world geography and cultures, growing vegetables, cooking, taking care of animals, attending weekly children's worship (atrium), and doing advanced mathematics...just to give a few examples. The school is AMI certified, and the teachers are so knowledgeable, patient, kind and dedicated to the children and the school. We have met many great families through the school, and our children have made lasting friendships. We really believe that Montessori Christian Academy is instilling a lifelong love of learning in our children.

Mr. Morgan(Principal) along with the teachers and staff make Carlson Elementary an incredible school! Not only has my child succeeded in the CTA program, he has learned more than I could have ever imagined. The school focuses on creating both educated and kind students. The parental involvement is high which makes a lot of events really awesome. I love how close knit this school is and the fact the teachers and staff from different grade levels know the kids names from other classrooms. It really is like a big family! I am so happy we found Carlson Elementary and would be hard pressed to go anywhere else!
