We have 3 children a JGES and have enjoyed our experience here over the last 4 years. The teachers (and staff) are fantastic - really caring about the kids and making the classroom fun. They also teach positive character traits and reward good behavior in fun ways that encourage the kids to be their best selves. There are a few curricular opportunities that are neat. There is a great teacher-run after care program as well. Involved PTA that support the teachers and kids. Our children love it there.

Jeffrey's Grove Elementary School is amazing. My son is attending kindergarten this year and has been fortunate enough to be in the SPLASH (Spanish Immersion) program (only 2nd year in existence). His teacher is amazing, he loves it & he's excelling. The PTA, Principal & VP have all also been a blessing. We are very fortunate to be part of the JGES Eagles!!

This is our 5th yr at JGE. I definitely feel like our child has been challenged academically and grown socially since Kindergarten. A relatively shy person, she has been able to excel in her academics and thanks to very caring teachers, she has thrived and blossomed. There is a very active PTA program that is working tirelessly throughout the year to support student extension programs and staff alike. There are also opportunities for after school programs such as Girls On the Run, and a similar boys program. There is also tennis for boys and girls. Both of these activities are outsourced and available for a fee. I will mention that in the past year or two, since the school reassignments, there is not as much diversity as there once was.

The school is striving to be top notch and is well on its way. Full of caring teachers and staff, I recommend this school to anyone! PTA is also fully active in creating a great community centered school.

This is our second year at Jeffreys Grove and we love it! The administration and teachers are excellent. They have added several new programs to help the students excel in different capacities. The PTA is extremely dedicated to the school as well. It is a small school and I am liking that! We will be staying at Jeffrey's Grove no matter what our choice next year.

Jeffreys Grove School is Raleigh's best kept secret. We have enjoyed it for the past 5 years. The teachers and staff are wonderful and caring, and the resources are state of the art. I am always impressed by what my children are learning!

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his four years at Jeffrey's Grove. He's made wonderful friendships (as have we as a family), soared in his learning experiences, and enjoyed numerous opportunities to explore learning and share his own topical "expertise" beyond the standard textbook approach to teaching. We love JG and you will too.

Jeffreys Grove is a fabulous elementary school that has provided my children amazing things - academic and personal confidence, a love of writing, an appreciation for math, great teachers, mentors and friends. I can't believe how much our children have grown. Lisa Cruz is a dedicated, innovative leader who makes a major improvement every time I turn around. The teachers are high energy, professional, passionate and talented. You receive personal attention & your children departs with strong socialization/emotional skills. I wish our oldest didn t have to graduate this year, but our comfort is that she is truly prepared for middle school. I can t recommend this school enough. I am so thankful that our children have had the opportunity to attend JG and that I have been able to be a part of the fabulous JG community. The Simpson family

Frankly, Jeffreys Grove is a great little secret that I'm hesitant to share. It is a small school so it really is a little community. It was great before but becoming part of the Global Network has made it even better. Our son is at a higher academic level and I feel that he has been challenged to excel. The teachers and staff are warm and caring and the PTA is very active. Couldn't be happier.

We love this school! Our child comes home talking about their global projects. She is excited to work on the smart board and ipads that they have in the classroom. We are happy that we choose JG!!!

I had negative experience when my son was in Kindergarten, and because it was his first time with public school, I decided to give it another chance. I am so glad I did. Each year since has been better and better, and this year Jeffreys Grove is now part of the global schools network. While diversity is excellent at the school in terms of the student population, now the students are being taught diversity with a focus on collaborative learning through projects and with the use of 21st century technology. There is also a Spanish language teacher for 3rd through 5th graders and I find that extremely important. I am quite pleased and very excited about my son's 3rd-5th grade years!
