My 02 kids entered the school at the middle of the year and received a lot of support, they learned a lot, and teachers were supportive despite english was not their first language. I liked the way teachers pushed for more, homework and participation of parents. The environment is very respectful and they promote in the kids leadership and the benefits of helping others. There is no special english program, however it was not an issue for my kids.

Great school, really helps kids succeed as much as possible. School provides many fun events for kids to stay engaged as well.

This is our third year at Junction, and fifth year cumulatively when you factor in both kids. We have loved it. Mr Wilke is a fantastic principle, the kids love him. He is very approachable. The traffic circle is set up backwards in my opinion and if they had it run the other way it would encourage parents to actually pull forward in the line, but other than that it's great! Obviously a small thing to complain about. ;)

Wasn't crazy about this school the 3 years my kids attended. Kindergarten teachers were great, but it went down hill from there. Principal wasn't approachable or friendly. Glad that we were able to transfer our kids & they now attend an amazing school!

My children have been at Junction since its first year in 2008 (Kinder and 3rd grade at that time). I think the school has done a fabulous job with the resources they have. It saddens me when I read some of the reviews that compare Junction with local schools that are well established. The risk you take when placing your children in a new school is that programs that are offered at established schools will not be offered at a new school. Our enrollment has grown exponentially in the last 3 years and the staff and principal have adapted well. My daughters are thriving and have been more than prepared for the next grade. Their teachers have always had time for me and I have never had a poor interaction with Principal Vincent. Pick-up and drop-off are a challenge, but I have found that to be true of all schools we have attended. If parents followed the rules put in place for the safety of their children, they would find they wouldn't be "harassed". Junction is a young school and I think it is great. In 10 years it will be even better! Go Jaguars!

My son is going for the second year to this school. teachers and office staff are good. I have spent lot of time trying to compare how other schools are teaching vs this one. I like the method they are following. But they are going slow. They give very little home work to1st grader. I think they made a impatient traffic cop as a principal for this school. She harasses parents during drop off and pickup. Makes weird and confusing rules about pickup. I think if she stops worrying about traffic around the school and worries about kids in her school, this school may improve. I gave 4 stars because some teachers in this school are great. They love kids. and willing to use a different method if current method doesn't work.

My daughter is attending Junction Elementary. Last year she was in Twin Rivers School District and Junction is by far the best school. Principal Vincent is loving and caring. Great job Junction!
