Sadly, there are a lot of parents who do not make it a priority to parent their children and have too many problems (poor choice life) to spend the energy.

The new principle takes on a Laize fair approach to a lot of issues.

As said above, not enough parent involvement and the apple does not fall far from the tree.

All three of my boys have attended this school and have loved all their teachers. We have a new principle now and he seems very attentive to parent and student needs. All in all our experience has been amazing and I will definitely miss this sweet school environment when my last child moves on to middle school.

Mostly good, the Principal is good at keeping the school on track, but is a bit harsh when it comes to traffic duty. I guess it is needed since some parents ignore all safety.

My son is high functioning autistic and is getting extra help with speech and extra work to keep him engaged. He apparently gets bored fast and reads at a level 1-2 grades higher so regular class can be boring at times for him. Ms. Mann keeps him going and gives him special assignments that she knows he will excel in.

Haven't heard of any bullying going on in the school so I would say they take care of it pretty quickly.

My son loves going here. He wakes up ready to go to class. Friendly atmosphere and all the teachers he has had are wonderful. He is in 2nd grade now and if we were not moving he would go to 3rd here even though this school is not his assigned school. School locks down after the bells ring and is very safe. Have to go through office to get on the school. Mrs. Wolowicz has really turned the school around since she has become the principal.

Ms. Mann (2nd grade) gives the right amount of homework for each student. My son gets a bit more because he is gifted enough they want him in G.A.T.E, and he needs the extra push. Ms. Mann noticed this and is keeping my son engaged with extra tasks in subjects he is interested.

Ms. Mann is the best 2nd grade teacher I have ever come across. She teaches extra stuff and keeps the students engaged.

Juanamaria is an AMAZING school with loving, caring, dedicated teachers and staff. Their principal Mrs. Wolowicz is incredible!!! She goes above and beyond for ALL of her students, families and staff. The school is located in a quaint, safe neighborhood. The PTA is a strong group of parents who work together to help make the school the best. Teachers work extremely hard to make sure ALL students are welcome, cared for and reaching their academic goals and addressing any needs. They have many activities that families can be apart of. I work full time but know that I am always welcomed and help out when I can. We love Juanamaria school!

We love everything about Juanamaria Elementary! From the Administration to the Teaching Staff to the programs and parent participation, we feel extremely blessed to be apart of the Juanamaria Family! I leave my daughter (and soon to be son also, next year) every morning knowing she is getting the education, nurturing and discipline she needs to be successful now, and in the future.
