I have had two children at this school. The first is currently in junior high now and tests in the 99th percentile statewide and is in advanced classes from the education he received at Low, along with being an all-around good kid. The second is going into second grade and has thrived with their caring teachers and hands-on Principal. This school offers dual language, advanced math/reading, and tons of community building events. The rating is what it is because it’s a diverse school with a fair percentage of English language learners. We love the diversity and have had nothing but positive experiences at this school. ZERO bullying issues. Can’t say enough good things about it!

All four of my children attended Juliette Low. The school district has the resources and the financial capability to assist all of the students with a quality education. Juliette Low prepared my children for the future and made graduating to junior high and high school that much easier. My wife and I found the teachers caring and would spend the time with their students to make sure that they were all successful.

I may seem like very disgruntled parent but I am telling it to you from my perspective. Some kids might be happy there. For us it was like HELL ON EARTH, we did not last a full year. I moved my kid to very expensive private school near by. Do your research before you put your kids through what I put my kid through. Kids are delicate don't let anyone mass them up, especially bad schools .

Disappointing. Students are bullied during recess as there are 60 students per 2 adult supervisors.

My experience at Juliette Low has been EXTREMELY positive. My kids are both learning at a higher grade level while also becoming good human beings. The teachers put a lot of effort into finding the best ways to educate multiple learning styles. There are so many opportunities for the kids to learn, mentor, grow, play, & give. I highly recommend the school...both for it's excellent teaching/learning AND it's diversity. My kids have grown so much by learning alongside kids that come from a different background!!! DO NOT let the test scores deter you...

I have had three children recently come through Juliette Low - spanning the disability spectrum to advanced. At all levels, they have had a wonderful education and have been challenged (or supported) in whatever situation they were in. The ratings on this school do not reflect actuality but more some of the diverse population from within. Happy to have had such a wonderful experience here.

Awesome! My son is in a two way dual language Spanish program and he is reading at a first grade level in both English and in Spanish. The teachers are great and passionate - the school is very family oriented - we feel we get great personalized attention. It is a wonderful community.

Juliette Low Elementary school is amazing. My daughter just finished 5th grade and went to Holmes Jr High. She is doing really well. My son is in second grade in Juliette Low and he has 13 children in class, better than private school ! He is writing research books etc... All the teachers are wonderful and the atmosphere is very friendly.

Our experience at Juliette Low was wonderful for our 3 children. They were supported in all areas of learning, IEP, 504, TDP, mainstream. The teachers and the active parent community made for a solid educational foundation that has resulted in highschool and collegiate success!

Juliette Low is a fantastic school. The faculty, staff and leadership are excellent. We are impressed with the curriculum and innovative approach to integrating technology in the classroom. The teachers are passionate about their jobs and go above and beyond to help children succeed. The school has an active PTO that is dedicated to bringing a strong sense of community to the student body and their families. Juliette Low has exceeding our high expectations and we are very happy to be a part of this great school. Don't be misguided by the highly misleading test scores; the students who speak Spanish as their first language are taking standardized tests in English.

I've had children at Juliette Low for 6 years now and each year I'm humbled by the amazing support we get from our Teachers and Staff. The academic resources are wonderful and there is a constant growth not only in technology but in finding new ways to enhance our children's learning. I also just love the community and am thankful my kids have this kind of support.

I have been a part of Juliette Low School for almost 10 years now, and I give it two thumbs up! The test scores are misleading, due to spanish speaking students only being allowed to test in english. Both my kids are involved in the TDP program for gifted kids. On the other spectrum is available help for those struggling with reading, math, or speech. Lots of parent involvement shows that "making learning happen together" is really what it is all about! This is a great neighborhood school that sometimes gets a bad wrap due to it's diversity. The world is diverse, we need to embrace it!
