Jackson Elementary School

Some of the staff is rude and unprofessional.

Great school for the kids. Classes are organized and the teachers do a great job of teaching the children. Large outdoor are for the kids to play too!

Great school! Staff is caring and loving

If your child is neurotypical, this is a nice school, though when you don't have money for art supplies but end the year with a $9k cushion, I'm not sure how that works out, what with maths not mathing.Otherwise, prepare to have your child belittled -- not by their teacher, but by the administration's actions. They do NOT want neurodivergent kids in this school for some reason and will do everything in their power to shove these kids off on another school outside the neighborhood, and away from that child's friend group. From what I've seen firsthand and heard from other parents of neurodivergent students, the runbook goes like this:1. Do not stick to established and agreed-upon IEP interventions. Do not offer the child alternative strategies to deal with overstimulation.2. Make sure the child knows they've been Very Bad today instead of helping them learn how to self-regulate.3. In IEP meetings, gaslight the parents and insist they've done all they can for the child.4. Insist the child just needs to go to a school with a program better suited for their needs instead of giving the child the time and attention they need in the special ed classroom, sticking with strategies that have worked in the past, and working with parents instead of against us.To be very honest, the problem is at the top. The teachers are fantastic and seem to be hamstrung by policies, and comments during IEP meetings make it very clear who in the administration is driving this. I'm speaking from personal experience, but I've heard these same experiences echoed from other parents. This isn't a one-off. This is a trend.

They only care about money. I was enrolled here Pre-K-8th and also worked here. Both were horrible mistakes. Not only do they not care if you were bullied, they punish you for thinking differently, do not help you when you fall behind, and dump hours of homework on you daily. When working here, they do not value part timers whatsoever and will drop them unexpectedly without even telling you or apologizing. 2 of the staff members are some of the snobbiest and rudest people I’ve met.
