“This is a 5 star school. My son is in Kindergarten and he has been given the highest educational needs and attention. I could not have chosen a better environment for him to get the beginning of his educational journey.”

“As a teacher at this school, I am highly offended by many of the comments on this page, especially those posted by many parents whom have only had one or two years experience at the school. We often judge before we experience for ourselves, and I think that too many of the parents who've posted comments on this page have passed judgement, simply because of the way their child has perceived a teacher. When a person relies solely on the opinion of a minor, it makes me wonder who is doing the parenting at home: the adult or the child? Maybe these 'parents' should re-evaluate their parental skills and morals before they place blame on the professionals who've earned certified degrees in education.”

“My children have been attending this school for a few years now. All their teachers have been top notch and have made an impact in my children's lives. They continue to be challenged year after year and their education is up to par if not better than the private schools attended by friends' children. As an example, my child's MSA scores were above the nation's average. Unfortunately, I would have to agree that the principal could be more personable; but the excellent teachers more than make up for that. Jeffers Hill could benefit from more parental involvement, especially those of us who have complaints; if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.”

“My daughter has attended the school for just about a year now. We have had nothing but good experiences with Jeffers Hill. I love my daughter's teacher and all the other first grade teachers for that matter. I've worked at other schools that are not even close to wonderful atmosphere at Jeffers Hill. In regards to the comments about the principal, I do have to agree. She is not very personable and seems very fake when she greets you. Overall, however, I find the staff to be very caring and I think that the amount of parent nights and activities the school offers are amazing. It's unbelievable how many teachers show up for things like Dr. Seuss Night or for the Chick Fil A nights. Their overall participation says something about their committment to the students and school.”

“I will agree that the teachers are only concerned with teaching their lesson and not at all involved with your child. No more no less. The principal is also very curt and only does what is required of her-no more no less. The school needs to incorporate Life lessons along with content lessons, then maybe they will be well rounded.”

“The only saving grace to the school is a few of the teachers are knowledgeable and caring. They do not seem to last long. The principal is not at all kind. She acts very high and mighty. When we have had to callt o change an arrangement and she answers she sounds curt and not at all pleasant. Just deals with impersonal thought connections. Maybe if we played their games of support with presence and person then good I will be your bud but otherwise...its all down to bussiness and do not disturb me. I am too busy for you. The teachers are polite, bound by protocall, and function. The new teachers are a dime a dozen but they seem to care; doing what they are suppose to. Nothing more nothing less, hush hush your kid is fine if they are not in trouble behaviorally. Means mine are fine, don't complain.”

“Far too much class time is spent on getting kids to be quiet and sit still; not enough is spent on instruction and activity. A lot of parental help is required for homework.”
