Jonas Salk Elementary School

I have two kids at Salk now and my kids and I are both very happy with the school. Shout out to the amazing teachers! I am so impressed with the culture at this school. There is a wonderful feeling of inclusivity and teamwork. One of my kids needs extra help and his teachers have been very accommodating. Both of my children have been encouraged to work hard and be kind to everyone around them. My son has had a couple very minor issues with other kids not being very nice, and it was handled quickly and satisfactorily and now my son is friends with one of those boys (it wasn't quite bullying but by the teachers' response, I can tell they will take any bullying seriously and nip it in the bud). My kids both look forward to going to school every day and come home happy. And they are right on track or advanced in all their subjects, even my son who needs the extra help. Some parents like to nitpick about parking or procedures, but they just need to lighten up. At the end of the day, our kids are safe, happy, and learning so much every day!

It has been great! We are lucky to have such a great school in our neighborhood.

We are surprised to see that the school is rated at 8 out of 10 and would like to know what the school will do to improve test scores. Do the scores resulted from students from another school since Jonas ES is only 3 years old?

We transferred to Salk after less than pleasant experiences at another school. I love this school so much and he mostly likes it as well. The staff and principal completely support the teachers and help make my son’s time there effective and fun. I highly recommend Salk Elementary School.
