When we went to pick up our son from school, he was not there. Administration were all present and did nothing to help us find our son. The only person that went out to search for our son was his kindergarten teacher. I literally ran home to find my son in our backyard crying and frightened. He came home by himself when he didn't see me. We tried calling the school we were 5 mins late because we were coming from my daughters doctor appointment and it took longer than expected. No pick -up. But my son should not have been let to leave since he has a sign that he always carries on his backpack that states that he is to only leave with parents. We had a meeting with the principal the next day about the situation. Only to hear her blaming our 5 year old son. She does not plan on making their school release system better since they've never had a problem with he system before, only with our son that they've had a problem. That is a shame that she could sit there and lie to us with such pride. We withdrew our son from the school that day. The teachers may be great, but the leadership needs some proper training for competency.

New to the cities. This is my daughters second year at this school and I am so disappointed in their handling of disruptive students and bullies. I get no response from the principal and the teachers response after my daughter was shoved and injured was basically, we know this student is physical, he gets warnings and then is sent to the "behavioral specialist. Absolute bull. Unacceptable. We also get a letter saying that the school is underperforming and has been deemed a focus school. Not returning next year.

Both my sons went to Jackson and I liked the teachers and the community.
