My daughter has been a student at Jenifer Elementary since first grade. This is her last year at Jenifer and we will both truly miss the school. We have had a wonderful experience at Jenifer. The teachers are nice and keep the lines of communication open. Her teachers acknowledge her potential and have kept her in advanced reading and math classes throughout her years at the school. They keep her challenged.She feels that she and the rest of her friends are a family. I've received no problems from this school and once again I will truly miss it. Close Quote

I have had children at Jenifer for four years and have been happy with the school. The teachers and staff go out of their way to help the students. There is a reading recovery program, special before school programs to help prepare students who are having a little difficulty for the MSA tests, gifted student programs, and others. I have found the staff at Jenifer to be very caring and conscientious. I would recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
