Incredible school! My son attended 3 schools before 1st grade, we struggled to find the right fit for his learning needs. JP was welcoming to him, and accomodated all of his learning differences. The teachers and staff were incredible. Both in special ed and in the general classroom. Our son thrived at this school, and at the end of each school he would be in tears because he was sad for school to end. Can you imagine? The entire team there was loving, professional and worked so closely with us to give our son the best possible education he could have. We are forever grateful to this place.

10/10. This school is an absolutely wonderful school. Academically our son has completely blossomed (in a month!), he looks forward to go to school every single day! The school is located in a beautiful wood and has its own natural trail. The teachers are fantastic. Communication between teachers and parents is also top notch. Every child is also very respectful and willing to learn. You know the saying: people are products of their environment.

We moved to JP first w/t some reservations. But after two years, we fall in love with it. Dr. G is such a great principal, very friendly and personal to kids and parents, supportive of teaching differentiated based on the level of math. The residency program, with which the school has an artist, poet, etc invited to work with each grade on a project, is just marvelous. I cannot believe how much Nurse Liz taught the kids. names and utility and where big and small intestines for first graders?! All the names of brain diseases and why they develop for 5th graders?! My kids are developing such a great interest in biochemistry and human body science from a school nurse!!! I cannot find a better comment for Nurse Liz and this school! Not all teachers have the same level of experience and passion for teach as we wish. But the majority of teachers are experienced and devoted to teaching! It is the best decision we made to transfer our kids to this school.

We moved to Princeton because the current spec ed director promised teacher understanding and competence around sensory issues. This turned out to be true in preK only. After that, both gen and spec ed staff were unable and/or unwilling to continue the program established in preK. The principal was intent on removing rather than accommodating & helping. What began as a happy & successful preK experience quickly deteriorated into a nightmare. We removed our son & have since met other families who have had similar experiences with this elementary school.
