Sullivan James J School

Bullying is a problem and they sweep it under the rug!! There is no communication. Everything is last minute, never enough time so parents can be involved. No direction, everyone has an excuse or blame someone else. They lie in the office say one thing then say oh no i didnt say that. They are tude. If you have a care or concern they make you feel like you are a problem... Well if your not lookin out for my kid Im gunna. So sad because my daughter was so excited to start school and now in kindergarten already doesn't want to go! They have no control over the kids. And innocent children are loseing their light love and luster for learning!!! Take a pole in the school yard bet youd get this same response!

I love this school last year my grandson was in kindagarden and he did great now he will be going into 1st grad and I cant wate to see how he dose this year

This school smell when you walk into the hallways and in the front door. The children are horrible and may influence your child in a negative way. On the flip side it is one of the better school in the neighborhood but if you have a choice choose another school because this school is not good for my child. The teachers are great and will work with you but the school conditions make it hard for them. The school district of Philadelphia has gotten worse and it shows in their classroom sizes and lack of extracurricular activities for the children.

My children have attended Sullivan for many years. The present Principal cares about the students and the former teacher who says she talks down to the staff is not telling the whole story. The principal abides by the rules. Sullivan has mostly excellent teachers. I do have issue with the lunch aides who I have personally witnessed yelling at students and giving out detention without good cause. Parents aren't notified . Besides that issue, I feel Sullivan is a good school.
