Jackson is awesome. The staff, admin, teachers etc, are professional and supportive. Communication is outstanding. Kids have every opportunity and expectation to exceed academically socially and extra-curricularly ahead. Our kids dominate testing, involved in intramurals, girl scouts, lunch time running club, safety-patrol as 5th graders helping young kids into building. The school does all sorts of events that promote community: wax museum or zoo at the school where everyone dresses as their biographee or animal and parents and other students tour, viewing their power-point or poster-board presentations. Parents are engaged. Our kids have many friends with different interests, and we've made friends with parents in the community. PTA is supportive. A dream public school.

If your child has any special needs that requires services, at school, do NOT send your child to Jackson. They have very limited resources to support your child. The special Ed teacher is good but anything outside out of that do not expect the support. We had many meetings with our child’s support team but everything was met with a stone wall, which was the principal Christine Trendel. She controlled the conversation when we tried to learn how to best setup support through out child’s IEP and always countered what we suggested. We tried getting additional help and it was oppposed every step of the way. Not worry going here whether your child has special needs or not.

Very satisfied with school. Have two kids there for over a year and couldn't be happier with progress of my children and attention dedicated from principal and teachers.

Transferred our child from a local private school and we could not be happier that we made the change. The teachers and principal made the transition easier on our child and on us. The other parents welcomed us and made us feel comfortable that we were making the right decision. Amazed at how much our child has learned in this first year. Look forward to a couple more years at this school.
