Bob Jones Elementary School

Love the school, but the new dismissal procedures are so annoyingly unnecessary. They claim it’s to move the line faster but it makes the line move slower. As the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, and it wasn’t broke. I don’t know if it’s completely the new principle causing this unnecessary disruption, but I really miss Dr. Hooker. She really knew how to get the kids out and keep the line moving. I used to be out of the line no later than 2:15 now I’m lucky if we’re out by 2:35. This really sucks, and I wish they would go back to the better way of doing things. It’s always some new person coming in thinking they’re going to make things “better” but end up making things worse.

Yes lake forest Is a good school but they would never take charge in bulling some of them would pick favorites its a good school I would recommend but some things can be fixed as my younger sister came home crying saying she wanted to change schools.

Wonderful small school with great support from teachers, parents, and administration.

The structure and curriculum is wildly effective with our kids. We had them at two other private schools before finally getting into BJA. We were interviewed by the school administrators before they accepted our application. it's a long process to get in and many parents apply while they are pregnant. My wife and I are a mixed race couple and that has no effect on how we are treated and were surprised to see so many other mixed race couples with their kids at BJA. Not at all what we had been told. They also email us during the school day if there is an issue (behavior or we forgot something) and that is very comforting to know how attentive they are to the parents being involved. Highly recommend. Good security as well, and the car line is awesome, they get your kids out of the car and escort them into the building. and have gone out of their way if we forgot something to get it to the children in the classrooms. the teachers are great! polite and professional at all times. both kids are learning so fast its wonderful to see the results.
