Joppa Elementary School

Most of the teachers are friendly. The higher ups, including at least one principal and the superintendent seem to like to flex their power, even if that means discriminating. They also gave the school photo business to some inferior local company who charges the same price as Lifetouch, for garbage. I highly suspect someone is getting a kickback, or it's a relative.

Communication between parents and teachers is terrible. They need to have the option to at least email the teachers. Teachers should be respectful of new students not being used to the routines set by the school. My son has basically been "thrown to the wolves" when it comes to school.

My daughter has attended Joppa 2 years now and we absolutely love it!! Mrs.Becky is a fantastic Kindergarten teacher and Mrs. Bailey has been a great 1st grade teacher. The prinicpal and staff are great and you can tell they all genuinely care for the students. I love the small school atmosphere and hope we find a school we love as much when we move next year! We will miss Joppa for sure!!

Joppa is a great school the employees and parents really care about all the kids here and their families.

As I listen to my grandson talk about school and his teacher with pride, and see how happy he now is, I truly appreciate the Joppa administrators and especially his teacher, Mrs. Ann. She has helped him overcome complicated circumstances and to be accepted and welcomed by his peers. I thank God for leading his family to move to Grainger County and to Joppa School.
