Would not recommend this school or district. Get your children into a charter school or another district if you want them to be successful socially, emotionally and intellectually.

My daughter feels that listening to each side should be more effective if you may look at each students history of issues involved and also academically. You can sometimes see not both are at fault and punishing both is not effective.

With advanced courses it would be nice to have teachers give more then1example and give more literal steps in how to complete

I think the School tries to accommodate this, however, resurrect is not given by students. But i believe this area should be taught at home as well

I switched my daughter from fountain middle to this school and have never been happier. My daughter is happier and the quality in education she is recieving compared to her other school is another world. Yes, bullying is everywhere, but if you knew what was going on at her last school and other schools (I work for another district) this is superb in handling everything the best they can. If outpatients world be more involved in their students well being, morals, and proper raising, bullying would be even lower. Thank you Janitell....

Janitell has the worst administration. It is pathetic the way they treat situations. My daughter will no longer be attending there!

I have a son attending Janitell for two years now, he never had any problems and his great are excellent. we came from Maryland which I think is one of the best school system, I was scare he may drop his grade for the change in school but not he still doing great. I like the staff participation in all activities, you can easily interact with them, their sport program is excellent if your kids want to take advance of it. your can ck your kids advancement and grades online throughout their portal and I truly believed this is a great tools for parents to monitor their kids progress. Way to go Jaguars!!!!

My daughter went to this school and I absolutely loved it. The principal there listens to every comment or complaint. I am so glad that my daughter attended to this school

I feel like this school is a great learning environment! But the discipline system is not very well! My daughter attends this school. There has been several life threatening students that did not get a punishment what so ever! I feel this school is very wonderful. But often my daughter feels scared to go because of some boys who say very threatening things.

The school is some what fine, there is a teacher there that is getting away with calling kids names as well as assigning kids 5 hours or more of homework. There has been plenty of complaints about this teacher yet she is being allowed to be a tyrant.

Janitell is an amazing school. The teachers have a very 1 on 1 approach with the students, and seem to care alot. The adminstration and counselors are very involved and are always helping out students. I love this school!
