Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer Elementary School

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.

This is our daughters is in kindergarten, and she absolutely loves it Jenifer. All the teachers and staff seem nice and they have a lot of after school activities for the kids. I really like the inspirational speech that the kids do every morning. I really liked the teacher/parent meeting we had when they gave out the first report cards, it allowed us some time to meet one-on-one with her teacher. The only problem I have is.... my daughter might be a little further along then most of the kid in her class; and I'm not really sure the school knows how to handle it. The work they give her is so basic and elementary, but I m not sure if all Kindergarten classes are like that. I know they have to teach to the lowest common denominator, but I don't think my daughter is being challenged.

Both of my son's attended this school and I had a wonderful experience. My younger son had developmental delays and was just starting in a regular classroom setting. The teacher, principal (Mrs. Fowler), vice principal (Mrs. Wright) were very patient and we all worked together as a team to ensure that my son was making the proper adjustments, and when he had difficulties in certain areas, we all worked together to solve them. Now my son is going to first grade and at the end of kindergarden he was reading at a second grade level. He has made tremendous progress and is behaving and progressing as any other first grader. All I can say is that this is a great school. The staff is willing to work with parents and they really care about all of their students. I would recommend Jenifer to anyone.

We had a great year at Jenifer. Our kids were in K, 3rd, and 5th grades. We enjoyed the age-appropriate activities and were challenged by the curriculum. The administrative staff is professional and helpful. Would like at least 3 field trips per school year for each grade level.Parent involvement is encouraged for lower grades. Teachers were highly qualified. We give Jenifer two thumbs up!!

My family and I love Jenifer. My son arrived there 4 years ago as a transfer from a private school. I was very hesitant about his tranfer and concerned that he would not receive the same level of education that he had previously received. I was wrong to worry. Jenifer strives for academic excellence from every child. Jenifer is a caring school. From the principal to the support staff, everyone takes pride in educating your child. We are graduating but we will always love Jenifer. Kudos to Mrs Fowler and all her staff. We will miss you. Go Patriots! Ms. Chisholm

My daughter has been going to this school for 2 years, she is now in the 3rd grade. The Principal Mrs. Fowler and the Vice-Principal Mr. Evans are excellent leaders. The teachers are great. I am very pleased with my daughter's academic performance.
