As long as the parent/s do not open their mouth and question or ask questions about the classroom/teachers/special ed or IEP everything is fine, if you do they will bully your child and punish him. They have been doing that to my 5 year old for 4 weeks and now he has lost his love for school. Preschooler and he has no passion for school anymore that breaks my heart. This school needs to be investigated by the state.

This school has teachers who appear to care about the students. They encourage and acknowledge their efforts, talents and abilities. With that, I think the school could do more. They appear to be functioning just at an average level. They are not doing anything extraordinary. Not sure if it is the principal or overall climate of the school. My child has one more year there, but I have one starting in K next year. I hope they get a little more excited.

very unsatisfactory and has no idea about special ed. Really bad communication, tell you things to keep you quiet. Made my child ill.

In the last two years that my daughter has attended Jenifer, I have been thoroughly impressed with the Mrs. Wright, the principal, and her staff. My daughter has gone from reading at grade level to soaring above grade level and is enthusiastic about learning. All staff have been courteous and loving and care about the general well-being of the students!

One of best schools and best Second Grade staff ( Ms Stafford Excellant teacher). Challenges kids all the time meets the childs above grade needs and my daughter got very good scores in Charles county in Match 97.4 and in Reading 98.4. Out standing performace by the Principal and all the staff. Not enough to describe in words their good work. We miss them a lot, since we moved from here.
