My child has a new disability and nobody cared. The staff sort of knew, but never set up any meeting with teachers. Six fights in year! The students rule the teachers! Would not recommend honestly.
Posted by a parent on 2/10/2024Very good. My child is happy and the staff is supportive!
Posted by a parent on 5/12/2018We're happy we made the choice to leave Jepson. If your child has more needs academically or emotionally than the average child you might find this school the right fit but for those in the average to upper learning curve, this school does not encourage progression. There are a few very good teacher
Posted by a parent on 10/1/2014My son started pre-k 4 this fall & I have no complaints at all. Maybe the people who have been complaining in these reviews should seek to reeducate themselves & learn grammer and spelling before they write a bad review which makes them look ignorant.

Posted by a parent on 11/15/2013Reposting, in response to the parent who is suggesting that parents complaining have not been proactive.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have had a great experience at FAME. We value that the school offers bilingual / biliterate teaching in English and Spanish starting in kindergarten. This past year they added Arabic for upper grades. The teachers are supportive and effective. There is a weekly event for parents to meet at the school called “Good Morning FAME.”Parent Review10mo ago - Fair Haven School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with this school is very traumatic. My child arrived at Conte in the six grade. The staff changed my daughters IEP by conducting a PPT meeting without inviting me during this meeting they wiped out all of her special services that she has been receiving since birth to three. Fights break out daily. Special needs children are placed in regular classrooms due to the fact that they don’t have the staff to accommodate them. Black lives definitely don’t matter at Conte regardless who the principal is.Parent Review3y ago - John S. Martinez School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have worked here as a substitute since September. It is a wonderfully supportive environment to work and learn. The students LOVE school. After spending a majority of their day there, upon their parents arrival they still ask to stay a bit longer. In response to the comment that warned of the dangerous neighborhood, I have never felt unsafe going to school. The location of Cold Spring is a lesson in embracing our surrounding culture rather than fearing it.Teacher Review9y ago - St Vincent De Paul School
