Review South Jackson Elementary School

- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on August 01, 2008 (Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- We came from another school district that was highly regarded so I wasn't sure what to expect. SJES exceeded my expectations from the caring and well educated staff to the emphasis on a positive learning environment. Both of my boys have loved the school!
