All in all, we have enjoyed our experience at WI. Any problems we have encountered have been addressed. The 504 coordinator and ELL teachers, are SOOOO good. Very supportive and proactive when an issue arises. The teachers have been good with assisting when bullying issues or other issues have happened. The specials teachers are great too! i wish there was more adults in the cafeteria and I wish class sizes weren't so large, but happy overall.

The teacher my daughter had this year (6th grade) would never let me or any other parents know about important dates (such as picture day) before hand. She would usually tell about these thing the night before this happened. Also the teacher at this school would and I quote from my daughter “pick favorites”. As a mother I don’t appreciate the fact the some kids would be treated differently than other. Also I would like to point out the fact that the girls in my daughters class would constantly pick on people and make fun of them and teachers would do nothing. My daughter told me about this one kid that was mentally challenged but not extremely he just couldn’t pick up on social cues and was a bit strange which made him an outcast. This kid would constantly get discussed looks from the “popular girls” even when he did nothing to deserve them. My daughter tried to befriend him and she succeeded to some degree (the two weren’t exactly best friends but she would hang out with him every once and a while and would try to stick up for him if one of the “popular girls” said something to him. Also when the “popular girls” would do something rude to the kid in front of a teacher, the teacher would usually take the girls’ side and tell the kid to leave them alone. Additionally on most occasions when my daughter would go up to this kid to talk to him he would start the conversation by say how he HATED most people at the school because of how mean they would be to him. I just think that the teacher need to do a better job at making their students feel wanted the way they truest and authentically are with all their weird quirks, and differences. Not some made up personality that will make them popular.

My son just completed 5th and 6th grade at JWI. We had just moved from California where he had been in a small Christain School his whole life. I LOVE the Jenks schools. He had wonderful teachers and they do an awesome job in 6th grade preparing the students for the "real world" of school in 7th grade. Every teacher was so helpful and encouraging. Their skill in teachcing was apparent when we got his EOI scores back. Great Job JWI!
