Brown Elementary School

Most of the teacher are good they are just over worked and to many kids in a room to handle any child that has problems learning. The school has a tendensy to also judge one child by another in its family and not just let the child be its self.

I have two children who attend Jommy Brown Elementary. My son, a third grader, has had excellent teachers each year. He is a straight 'A' student and has received 'Star Citizen' each year. Special thanks goes out to his teacher for making him an above average student. My daughter, a first grader, has medical problems that at time prevent her from performing daily tasks to the best of her knowledge. At the beginning of the year she had 'D's' and 'F's' and thanks to the help, love and understanding of Mrs. Pam Haley she has 'B's' in math and reading. We think Mrs. Pam is awesome.I am also a graduate of Star City High School and my kids and I are pround to call ourselves 'Bulldogs'!

I would like to say that me, my husband and two daughters moved to star city 2 years ago this February, and by far this is a good school. My daughter started Kindergarten last year in Star City and we as parents were amazed at what she learned in one year. Her teacher Kim Madar was one of the best I have ever met. Star City is #1 in school, activities for children, sports, etc.

I am fairly disgusted with this school district. I am very discouraged for my child for i know that he and others may not be left behind but they will never be taught what they need to know to go on to the next grade. Once you get lost in one grade you will be lost for a long time. I would not recommend this school or these teachers to anyone anywhere. I can't wait to get my kids out of here.

My overall opinion of JBE is very good. There are some really great teachers, with a few exceptions. Every grade seems to have some good options for our children. As a parent that has seen his oldest child through to the Junior High, and his son just starting in Kindergarten, it is gratifying to know that we have the opportunity to have our children educated by a group of teachers and staff that, for the most part, care deeply about our children. And to address the 'criticism' of one other person who has posted a comment, a school should be graded on its overall curriculum, not a specific deficit that is related to peripheral studies.

I am proud to have a student at JBE. She is very encouraged by her teachers, some of the best teachers around. She enjoys school and excells in her studies. The excellerated reader program is very rewarding and well maintained. She loves JBE and so to I.

JBE School is a school that doesn't focus on the black students. My reason for this is, I have observed that on Black History Month, the students are not educated on the purpose of this event. The school district focus more on wildlife and hunting season. Not saying that precautions should be taken while out hunting but that Black History should be taught to the white students as well.
