We have been at Justice for 6 years. We have experienced a teacher strike, the pandemic, LOA's and everything in between. The one thing that has remained constant is the support, love and understanding from the principal, the office staff, the teachers, aides, and everyone else at Justice that makes it such an amazing place to send your children to. There is no doubt in my mind that both of my children are in a safe environment, learning not only what they should be educationally, but also learning to be confident and a good friend. My oldest is in his last year at Justice and it makes me sad knowing that he will no longer be a Jaguar come mid-June. His teachers over the years have helped him gain his confidence and become an independent student who is thriving. I can only hope he has teachers in middle school that are half as good as those at Justice. The parent support and involvement at the school are unmatched. It’s a place where you will want to be involved and the families you meet with become an extension of your own family.

Justice is an amazing school! I honestly cannot imagine our family at another school. The teachers, the principal, and the overall staff do a great job at making students feel valued and pushed to their potential. The PTA is very welcoming and appreciates volunteers. If you are looking for a school, please don’t make your decision on my review or anyone else’s, I encourage you to take a tour and see the school for yourself. I promise you will love it!

Justice has been phenomenal. I truly feel we have found our second family. Our children enjoy learning, and we love hearing about their fun experiences in the art room, science lab, and the amazing events. I’ve personally heard from other parents that they left nearby elementary schools because the schools weren’t up to their expectations, but they have also found their second family at Justice. I love that there are always opportunities to volunteer and be involved with my children’s class. These are important years in our childrens’ lives and I am so glad Justice is making it a wonderful experience.

We absolutely love Justice. The teachers, principal, the office staff and everyone else there have been so amazing. My son is in Kindergarten and is so excited to go to school and is having the best time and also learning so much. We know the test scores are very impressive and keep getting better every year and that was something that is so important, because that shows the kids are learning and the teachers are doing a great job. We appreciate that the school is on the smaller side so feels really family-like and exclusive. We are so happy with Justice!

Justice has been an amazing experience for both my kids and for my husband and I. From the moment we walked in 5 years ago, we knew we made the right decision to send our kids here. The administrative staff, principal and teachers have all been kind, welcoming and truly care about the wellbeing of our children. From making sure they are building their confidence, to helping them get the individual educational support the kids need, it has been truly amazing. The teachers are loving and kind yet hold the kids responsible for their actions. They teach them to be the best version of themselves possible in school and to be kind to one another. My kids have learned so much and wake up excited to go to school.

We had our little one go to Justice Street for 3 years (3rd thru 5th grades) and she loved it. It has a low number of students compared to most schools, amazing PTA and great teachers. Justice Street is amazing.

This school is wonderful. It is often referred to as the 'hidden gem' of the valley and this is absolutely correct. We are so lucky to have found this school where everyone is friendly and caring. Thank you Justice St.

A perfect little gem of a school! We've had a wonderful experience here at Justice. Exceptional teachers who love what they do, my kids have made some great friendships, have excelled and continue to grow. They have made wonderful memories and we've enjoyed participating in the events Justice has put on. The administration has always been warm and accommodating and their PTA works very hard at raising money for all our kids. An excellent fit for our family.

So very disappointing. The entire family was excited about the new adventure our 5 year old would be experiencing. The reality was a teacher who managed, in a mere 6 months, to suck the joy right out of every single day. She might be an effective teacher for middle school or high school, but she has no business being within a mile of little boys and girls. There doesn't appear to be any oversight or restrictions about her behavior and I believe it's ultimately damaging and sets the tone for the student's future years. Every single school in the west valley neighborhood receives superior feedback when compared to Justice. The difference is probably in the leadership...the fish stinks from the head and ineffective administrators don't know how to help their teachers excel.

HORRIBLE!!! Was so excited for my child to start kindergarten. What a fun & exciting time. NOT!!!! Was the most unpleasant & anxiety filled experience! So happy at our new school.

I love Justice. I have two children attending Justice. They are both happy and love their teachers. Every teacher we've had has been dedicated, excellent teachers. I feel like they took the time to get to know my children's strength and weaknesses. We got in through the lottery, and we wouldn't go anywhere else!

This school is a breath of fresh air! The teachers are amazing. Everyone of the teachers knows my child and greets him as he walks by. The campus aides are friendly and effective. The principal has been helpful in problem solving. She was very supportive of my son when he was having behavioral issues. We all worked together as a team to come up with a positive solution. I had to lottery to get in here, and I couldn't be happier. The PTA is wonderful. They are very welcoming and helpful. I encore everyone to take a tour of this school. You won't be disappointed.

After being here for several years, my overall experience has been its not what your school can do for you, its what you can do for your school. If you can offer up time, money, resources, and head events then you are in the "loop" and your child is catered to and you get all the "good" teachers. If by chance you don't fall into that category good luck getting information or feeling welcomed by staff or PTA members. Its all smiles while big wigs and new potential parents are there, but once they leave its back to business as usual, which means numbers to further the career of a principal who isn't the warm and fuzzy principal we remember from our child hood elementary experiences. She only shows up when there is a "reason" for her to, other than that she would not be caught dead at school functions or events. If you don't fit into their idea of what a "family" should look like or do then you are just a number filling a seat. Many other schools in the area with more to offer than just a seat to fill.

When our last child went to this school we had to deal with then the NEW Principle, the one who thought she was bigger then the parent, because shes "THE PRINCIPAL" Only to learn later on my child had a learning disability and the so CALLED PRINCIPAL just made it worse for my child to the point we took our child out of this school. I can't wait for the day she gets kicked to the curb like shes done to other parents and their children that have gone to this school. A long time ago the school was good, now I would AVOID it like the plague... Many better schools in the area. Can't wait to see the union bust these OVER PAID LEADERSHIP making over $120,000 and complaining the schools need money!
