Dr N High Jones Elementary School

This school is far and away the best I've seen. My daughter went to 4th and 5th grade here, and my son just started 2nd grade and has been going since kindergarten. They love the teachers, and you can really tell that the teachers genuinely do care about the success of your child. Every teacher is required to maintain their class web page and that helps parents tremendously to check up on grades, assignments, etc. It's no surprise to me that NHJ was ranked 4th in the state last year.

Oh my word, this school is phenomenal! My child is in KG and has had an amazing experience. His teacher is fantastic and he is happy and learning tons. High expectations and high quality of education. Mr. Raymond, the principal, is a highly visible and wise leader who challenges the entire community to work together toward focused outcomes. The school stresses character development and encourages and values parent involvement to the utmost. We have considered moving from Ocala but NHJ is my top reason for staying put. Super!

My two kids have attended this school for many years. For a public elementary school, we feel that it is excellent. The teacher to student ratio is good and we have been happy with most of the teachers at each grade level. Overall, a great school.

Having never gone to preschool, my son went here for kindergarten and did so well. Now he is in first grade this year and is blossoming already. I highly recommed this school--love the uniforms too. The principal, teachers, and staff really care about these children doing well. Parents really get involved as well.
