Jesuit High School

They are such big bullies and they are so mean to me :(

We found this school by accident—our daughter was aging out of daycare, did not get a PreK slot in the lottery for the public schools, and we desperately needed a place to enroll her while we worked. We figured we’d be there a year before transferring her to public kindergarten. Well, that was years ago, and we’re still here at St. John’s, because this school is a gem hiding in plain sight. Our daughter is doing phenomenally both academically and socially, the (very experienced, certified) teachers all know and care about their students, and the principal and support staff run the place with both compassion and common sense. The tuition is VERY reasonable (less than a third of what some friends are paying for their kids at other schools in the city) and well worth every penny. Don’t be fooled by the no-frills look of the place—this place is fantastic and you should check it out.

My son has really thrived here. The support from the faculty and staff made his transition from private school to public school so much easier than I imagined it would be. I feel he is loved and I know he loves so many people there.

Morris Jeff Community School is well worth looking into for your little one(s). They have an exponential staff in all areas, but especially the director of special education, Charlotte and her entire department. Teachers are incredibly kind.
