To start I am a grandparent raising 2 grandsons but before Grandchildren all 4 of my Children went to South Jackson and I feel it is a wonderful school. As a Grandparent who had 2 Grandsons going here I will State that to me the bullying could have been handled better but as for the Teachers and Most School Staff I encountered I would say a lot went above the standards. We moved so 1 grandson was unable to finish the last 2 years at South Jackson which I do miss ( except for the bullying). I t was always a clean, sterile school, The Teachers ( maybe 1 I clashed with) was always ready to speak with me. At the time they were doing a Grandparents meeting once a month which was very helpful and always offering information and help if needed. I would recommend South Jackson Elementary

We are the most grateful parents of a 1st grader who needs special education resources. They are wonderful, knowledgable, patient, and understanding. The best thing is that our child is learning so much and is always so happy to go to school. He is in a great environment and we are thankful for that!

The teachers are dedicated beyond duty and have proven their worth with the students passing courses and the Georgia mandated test's.

This school is a joke! Children run wild in the classrooms and the teachers have very little control. Due to NCLB above average students are ignored in order to try to reach state standards with those who really should be left behind. And when you tty to get extra effort out of the teachers to help your child reach their full potential, the teachers then retaliate against the children. For example, one child urinated on the feet of several classmates while sitting on the classroom. The students who "tattled" were punished for telling on him. Run from this school!

I have no idea what the previous reviewer is talking about. The school has always been clean and smelled fine with the exception of one year when there was a sewerage problem (embarrassing for anyone!) which was promptly fixed within a short amount of time. This school has been very good for my children, with few exceptions. The classes are small, the teachers are attentive, and in the case of my youngest child, who had a VERY rough first few weeks of kindergarten, they were willing to work with me step by step to see him through the tough transition. This is a great little country school and even when we were given the chance to move to Jefferson City School, we turned it down as my children enjoy/have benefited from South Jackson so much. My children have never experienced any administration encouraged sharing of food as mentioned in the otherit
