My son has gone to John Tyson for going on three years and each year I am more impressed than the year before. Not only do the teachers care deeply for there pupils, but all the staff care for the students and make a point to get to know each as an individual. My son enjoys going to school and that alone says a lot about the enviroment.

This is the best school. My kids not only learn from the text but they learn about how to respect one another and traits that they will use thier entire life. The whole staff is very caring and they love my children and every child as if they were their own. No child is left behind in this school and That is why every child will succeed at this school

About the tests
