I rate JQA a 9. My daughter is in the 2nd grade and I very impress with the teachers, principal and school work. They go above and beyond in making sure the children learn to be smart and are respectful to each other.

The current principle goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is very devoted to her students. The faculty and staff are, in my opinion and in my experience, always willing to go the extra mile to help out. There are plenty of in-school activities planned to help get the children actively involved. The PTA does a terrific job planning events and fundraisers. I just wish more parents got involved. I seem to see the same small, dedicated group of parents at each and every event. Overall, my family's experience at JQA has been very pleasant and we look forward to an even better future.

The staff and administration are doing the best they can. The district make up is disverse in ethnicity, but parents are largely letting their children run wild at public events and school functions. There is a blatant disreguard for rules and procedures by the majority of parents. Most have the attitude, the rules on behavior, manners & discipline dont apply to them. Great staff, the students are wild and unruly.

The quality of education at jqa is superb! the teachers and the administration are loving and caring and create a community of learners. Jqa offers music, art, and other extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is extremely high and the school always opens its doors for parent involvement within the classroom.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
