Jamacha Elementary School

Posted July 19, 2007

Jamacha provided both of my children with a solid educational foundation for middle and high school. My children were inspired and enriched by the many 'above and beyond' programs/community event that Jamacha supports. The parent involvement is amazing. The teachers are dedicated and know how to balance the high demands of the standards with fun. School has become much for 'serious' since we were young ... Jamacha is one of the few that continues to try and balance the scales. It is, by far, one of the best schools in the district and I am thankful my children were privileged to attend.

Jamacha is a wonderful school! We moved to Jamacha from a San Diego City School and if anyone can think this is bad, they should spend a year or two there. The entire staff at Jamacha is dedicated to the needs of the children. There is now a terrific strive to begin a GATE program for the kids and wonderful new forward thinking teachers. I would not want my kids to go anywhere else for an education. Mrs. Nigro provides great art instruction and many of the other teachers use their special knowledge to move the kids in all directions. Great work and a great school!

Jamacha looks good on paper only. There are no enrichment programs, no art or music in any of the grades. My older students (who came from another school) are board and unchallenged by the curriculum and there are no provisions to help them. My younger student is miserable. The pressure on her to perform precisely has hurt her desire to learn. It is all about rigid rules and strict discipline. And there is no playground for the older kids. All work and no play. What a disappointment.
