Great school. I feel all the teachers pay close attention to my children and have stepped in and offered extra support when they felt it was needed. My kids feel safe and enjoy their peers. Everyone is respectful.

I went to this school in like 2014 to 2019 and it was amazing, I loved the teachers, the principal was amazing, and they taught me all I know now and was honestly the only school I’ve went to that actually taught me. I don’t know much about the school now but when I went it was amazing!!

All 3 of my kids went to Jack London Elementary school. The teachers were always engaged, and looked out for the best interest of the students. Unfortunately every school you go to has parents who could couldn't care less about their child, which causes them to distract from the rest of the class. As long as you’re actively involved in your child’s behavior, and work ethic, (both at home and at school) there should be no problem sending them to Jack London. I only ever had pleasant experiences with the teachers and staff.

I really love this school and don’t know why the negative reviews exist. Unfortunately, the ones that have had really positive experiences don’t seem to post on this website, just those with negative experiences. If both positive and negative experiences were on this website, you will certainly see that the positive greatly measure much higher than the negatives. The staff and students are amazing...there are just a small handful that are bad apples, but the teachers are seriously helping them with positivity and being really supportive in bringing them back in line and into a much brighter future.

I went to this school in kindergarten and in first grade before I was moved to Grant Elementary School / MNO Grant Elementary School. My kindergarten teacher was nice and wanted the kids to learn. My first grade teacher, I did not get along with her. I did learn at the school. There was a playground for kindergarteners and a playground for the other elementary kids. I sadly do not know what is Jack London's current situation.

I am dismayed at the rating and test scores that Jack London received as I believe it doesn't reflect the true picture. The teachers are mostly dedicated and excellent. From Mrs. Jeans who instilled the love of reading and organizational skills to Mrs.Hamilton,Mrs. Carrigan,Mrs.Odegaard and Mrs. Martin who added to that foundation. I went to private Catholic schools and did find the teachers here comparable and actually more creative and inspiring. My daughter is now in the 7th grade but received an 11th grade reading level entering the 6th grade. Another son who was inspired and taught by a California Teacher of the Year Mrs. Allan, has graduated from a university and becoming a teacher. Another dd is currently in college. I still have a child in the first grade and I am confident in his teacher. Granted there is a wide variety of ESL students and maybe that is reflected in the scores as they are still acquiring proficiency and the scores may reflect the educational backgrounds of the parents which may reflect differently than the more expensive areas. However,I believe in the caliber of the JL teachers are exceptional.

Jack London is a family oriented school. All 4 of my daughters went there and now my granddaughter attend. The teachers are fabulous. The parents and teachers work well together to ensure the children's academic success. The Principal Debra Harrington is a remarkable woman who always strives to set a great example on the children of both learning and having fun at the same time. Learning is suppose to be a fun adventure, isn't it??
