Jack Barnes Elementary School

Our experience with Queen Creek Elementary has been nothing short of phenomenal. The principal Dawn is an amazing human who truly cares about her students. My kindergartener had a difficult time adjusting to starting school and she was there supporting him personally every step of the way. I feel so comfortable dropping them off everyday, I can't recommend this school enough. Their entire staff has clearly been trained and know what they are doing.

I think this school was great, I was there for a few years. I'm now in 8th grade. There's just one thing I disliked. As soon as I got to the school my teacher was constantly on me. It was to the point I was crying and scared coming to her class everyday. She'd yell at me in front of everyone, it could be for something small too. I was in fourth grade. She once told my mom that I'm not the best at communicating, which I hated because as a student who should've felt safe didn't even want to talk with her. I came in the middle of the year, coming from a school where I was still learning 3rd grade standards and were bullied. Her putting pressure on me wasn't making it any better especially when I was a child. Overall, I made some friends and learned a lot. Maybe I'd recommend, not the rude teachers and bullying but the learning and friends you make while you are there.

We have 2 kids in 1st and 3rd grade and love the school. It’s located in the Meridian Community and everyone is very nice. Teachers are great, homework is reasonable. School puts on nice holiday events that the kids love going to.
