Jacox Elementary School

The teachers are using a new tool called Alexia for reading. The computer time spent is a challenge between classmates and grades to improve their own score. Since my kids view it as a "level" challenge in math and reading. I feel confident they will do great in their exams from what I have seen. They make do with what is provided, but improvements can be made by education system towards this school.I believe they have started a Math Club that is optional to all grades.

I went to this school over 30 years ago, my oldest son went to this school, my youngest attends this school, my step children have attended this school and my daughter will soon attend this school. The teachers here really care about their students and communication is easy using class dojo. I can send a message and get a reply within the hour. We are kept up to date with assignments, forms needed, field trips, tests, events etc. My oldest son when he attended made honor roll, so does my current son that goes here. My son that currently goes does have an IEP and has additional support in the class room, everyone that supports him in school is friendly and very helpful and my son makes honor almost every quarter. I see the reviews about bullying but as long as you communicate with your child, their teacher etc its handled. The test scores I see aren't great for the school as a whole, hopefully it improves.

I love having my daughter at this school. I feel like she's supported in all the right ways to achieve her best.

Many, many years ago, I taught kindergarten at Lindenwood. It was on of my very best teaching experiences! There was great parent evolvement there! Great community school! Yes, there were some behavior issues. You’ll find that anywhere. However, I had incarcerated parents, yet they absolutely adored their child! I had exhausted students because their new sibling slept in the same room. Oh, there were many more! However, we just rolled with it all, trying to meet the needs of every student on every level! The students wanted to learn! Over all students were well behaved. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I still lived there!

My kids have been here since they were toddlers and we have had nothing but overwhelming positive experiences. I can’t recommend the school enough and every year they add more opportunities for the kids. It keeps getting better. The price tag is brutal but I can’t imagine sending them anywhere else.
