High Point Elementary School

This school needs a new principal who can speak to parents and knows how to handle situations that are complex. Maybe they would have a better rating on all the sites with new leadership

My son attended Marley Elementary and had wonderful teachers from kindergarten through second grade. After being redistricted to a different school, he truly missed Marley and the positive experience he had there.

Pasadena is a good school with an Autism Program that is severly lacking. My son is autistic and attended Pasadena from Kindergarten through 5th grade. I do not think Pasadena is equipped to handle the needs of their students with disabilities. The entire time my son was enrolled I constantly received contradicting information from the staff at the school. I received constant calls to advise the my son was hit by other students. Twice he was able to elope from the school. There was also an incident where my son was abused by a teacher aide and that aide was fired due to the incident. My son is now moving on to Middle School and I am battling the county where his next placement will be. I was given incorrect information regarding his placement earlier in year and not advised of the chances til mere weeks before school ended. I think Pasadena is a good place for typical children but if your child has special needs I cannot recommend Pasadena based on the difficulties we faced.

Nice small school that is very easy to make friends at

Excellent school. It has exceeded our expectations!

This school could not care less about your safety. I went here and was being bullied. I told a teacher but told her that I don’t know the kids name. She told me there’s nothing she could do and won’t find out who he is. Another day, some guy tried to tell me that my parents sent him to pick me up. I told the office that I don’t know who the guy is and they didn’t do a thing. They just told me to go with him or walk.

Freetown has definitely improved my children's outlook on school, engagement in learning & has worked extremely hard to build a relationship with the community & with the families.

My children have flourished both academically and emotionally at SJF. Their experience with teachers, administration and peers has always been positive even during those rough middle schools years. Two of my children are now off to high school with fond memories of caring, proactive teachers and a level of preparation that has awarded them scholarships and honors classes. SJF was once rumored to be closing but with full classes and a state certified pre-K program the enrollment has risen. SKF certainly has been an important part of the community for over 70 years now. Don’t listen to negative unfounded comments. We love our #sjfonefamily!
