This is a school that has it all: education, teachers, caring community, parents who care not only for their kids but for all the kids, a principal and staff that genuinely loves and cares for every student and parent at JSE and their stats on tests scores speak for themselves. This school is a team and this team wants success for everybody in the team no matter what and as a mom of a JSE student I am so proud to call JSE home for my son. The best education in town.

John Swett Elementary is a great school! It has a balance of awesome teachers, pro-active principal and parent participation. I would not want my kids going anywhere else.

Amazing school ,staff and enviroment. Ms.Neely is one of the best K teachers I have ever had the pleasure to meet. My child cry's when she is sick because she cannot go to school.

I think John Swett is the best school in the area. You get a small town feeling while getting a big time education. The school has an excellent staff and a PTA which seems to be involved with every aspect of the school. I am so happy we moved, just to go to John Swett.

Teachers who are firm, tough, yet fair, are mislabeled as, "bullies." This is such a ridiculous and false accusation. I got a tough job but I love my job and I care about the students. People don't have a clue what I do or the challenges... More »

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
