Decent school. Great teachers who work hard but are under-appreciated. The principal is full of herself and a drunk. They have a great group of kids there though always enjoyed teaching there. Close Quote

Jacobs is simply amazing!
Our children feel so at home and supported here. Teachers are innovated to capture and retain students' interest so they may be challenged and excel. All staff from the vision of Administrator through small group instructional helps to provide individual attention. Jacobs Rd staff really show the kids how much they love them. They have an abundance of fantastic and caring teachers, PTA, health/office staff, administrators and custodial/cafeteria staff. Bus Drivers are ever watchful over the safety and wellbeing of our little ones. Close Quote

Great teachers and school staff, my only and biggest complaint is concerning the bus situation. My experience with my child's bus driver has been negative. Verbal and physical abuse abounds among the students riding the bus and the bus driver is not attentive to the problems going on. She is also quite rude and dismissive. It is unfortunately not an isolated case. As parents who rely on bus transportation it is really disconcerting when you cannot feel safe about your child's bus ride. Close Quote

Principle never addresses problems, out of control bus situation, bullying issues verbal and physical. Close Quote
