My daughter attended J Wallace James, and I witnessed firsthand how her medical needs were ignored. She had a documented kidney condition with clear instructions not to run or overexert herself, yet she was still forced to. That caused her unnecessary pain and stress. No child should have to fight t

Posted by a community member on 4/26/2021Students are well behaved and respectful. The teachers work together. My children love the atmosphere.
Posted by a parent on 8/21/2014Teachers are great. Administration needs improvement. Principals avoid contact with parents. You would have to trip them in the hall to get their attention. They are indiffferent to parental concerns.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA teacher that spends the mahority of the day with my child says he is top of his class. Another teacher who only spends 2 hours with my child says she always has an issue. After research, she is under experienced with younger children. The expectations are unrealistic. Being that this school has a large AA demographic I’m concerned that they are misunderstood. This will be my children’s last year.Parent Review4y ago - S.J. Montgomery Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis Immersion only school is remarkable. The teachers do so much for the kids. They are reading and writing in French by the end of first grade. Being fluent in another language is such a great gift we get to give our kids and this school makes it possible. We got a new principal last year and she really cares, it shows everyday. I can’t say enough about this wonderful place that makes you feel like you’re a part of a familyParent Review7y ago - Lafayette Christian Academy
