We have two kids in Jane Addams. We're incredibly happy with the multicultural school. The dual language program puts kids who speak Spanish at home in the same classroom as kids who speak English at home (or another non-Spanish language) so kids of all backgrounds learn together. The program and resulting integration are truly impressive. The teachers clearly care about the students and go above and beyond to ensure each kid gets the support they need to be successful. The parents are involved and social, and the community is warm and welcoming. A true gem of a school.

We are happy to have our kids attend here. Jane Addams rocks! The teachers have been such a blessing to my three children, especially with everything going on with COVID-19.

When my elder child went to this school The standard of education was reasonably good and placement was based on evaluations, a good art, PE and music program and some nice clubs activities. My younger child goes to this school now, Though music and PE still remain good, the level of instruction has gone down and there are not as many activities/clubs. Overall The standard needs some improvement. A great PTA though

The teachers at this school are amazing. They do a great job focusing on curriculum (and now hyper focused on the now ever-present "Common Core"). But the ones I've dealt with also keep good discipline in the class and elsewhere so the kids can do what they're supposed to do - learn! Plus, recent reduction in number of students with the re-districting that impacted JA has made the class sizes smaller, which I like and appreciate (thank you District Admin?). Overall pleased with my community school.

Our son goes to Jane Addams and my husband and I are very happy with his progress. He has been at Jane Addams k-4 and each teacher has challenged and encouraged him in each and every grade. The teachers we have had the pleasure of working with have always been very responsive and open. The whole staff at Jane Addams are great. We are very proud that our son goes to Jane Addams.

teacher refuses to acknowledge my pta slip wont talk to me only calls my husband i have placed notes,slips and homework certain ways in my sons backpack and they are still that way when he gets home meaning the teacher mrs biro isn't taking them or even looking at them . she addresses letters sent home only to my husband we do not have the same last name even though we are married (for personal reasons) how disrespectful and discriminatory is that?I'm pulling my son out of this 2 hr a day kindergarten class as soon as i can.
