Discrimination is a constant at this school from administrators if your child is not a minority. Young kindergarten Students are isolated for multiple recesses and in the class room setting for repeating behaviors learned from other students. Another student can strike and hit your child, but if you
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2026I have had two children attend Jackson Elementary. Both children had positive experiences. I feel that the teachers were top notch! The systems in place to keep parents up to date and involved in their children's education were perfect. PTA was excellent in fundraising and promoting different events

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was absolutely horrible. No teaching got done whatsoever in at least the middle school area. My teenager would come with no homework, no learning done, completely bored and uneducated. Always kids fighting, yelling, out of control with the teachers completely ignoring and given up on the students. It was the worst decision to send my child to St. Anthony’s. Nothing Catholic about this school, completely unprofessional, my child came to me that they had been in the office and were asked to translate when a parent that hadn’t spoke fluent English came in. Absolutely terrible, all the drama at their school and they kept trying to change me fees that I didn’t know about, even after my child graduated. I feel so dissatisfied with the school NEVER EVER SEND YOUR CHILD THERE!!!Other Review1y ago - Christ The King School
