My son has attended Jim Allen since kindergarten & is now in his final 5th grade year... I am very sad for him to have to leave... They have gone above & beyond to make me & my son feel like family... As a single dad I always wanted to be as involved as possible.... They made this so easy, welcomed, encouraged, & comfortable on every aspect - from the Teachers, Principal, Bus Driver etc etc etc.... The office staff has ALWAYS had me & my sons best interest in mind & it meant sooo much to me over the years ! Then theres the Education, wich is Phenomenal !!! My sons in PATS & has represented Jim Allen 2 years in a row at the Sunshine Math Competition, probably 3 years... He's gotten such an excellent education I wish Jim Allen had a Middle School extension :)

I have lived in the Molino & Cantonment area and have had all 3 of my children attend Jim Allen since Kindergarten. I think the teachers are fabulous and make every child feel special. I have a lot of respect for these teachers as well as the help with the women working in the front office. I have enjoyed all the teachers my children have had and each school year that ends, has always been very sad for my children as they always seem to miss their teachers more than their friends. My son, Aaron has really enjoyed his prior school years and due to the outstanding job the teachers have done, Aaron was accepted into the gifted program part time in his 4th grade year and full time in his 5th grade year. He has expressed to me how much he is enjoying his 5th grade year and how much fun he has been having and the new things he has learned that day, which has encouraged him to want to learn more. Thank you Jim Allen for your outstanding efforts in making our school such a success.
