Neighborhoods and Homes nearMuir (John) Elementary School

The principal is an experienced and award-winning educator. The staff have created a supportive learning environment. The school has a jazz music program, a outstanding literacy specialist and even has actors coming to read with (not at) the students. Simply outstanding!!

The programs are lacking & staff seem to be inexperienced. Youngest classroom especially a problem.

What do mean they 'pick and choose'? It's a lottery! True that more attentive parents tend to put down the better schools in their 7 choices, so the low-scoring schools end up with a greater share of kids whose parents weren't paying much attention.

This is the worst school my child can ever attend. I cannot believe I let them finish a whole year here. The staff did not challenge my child's ability to learn. Second grade and first grade homework were exactly the same.

I have never worked with a more professional, devoted staff in my 20 year career.
