James B. Edwards Elementary School

We currently have two children attending JBE, with another starting next year. The teachers, administrators, and staff all seem to know every child, and many parents, by name. They stress leadership skills at an early age, and proudly recognize children for adhering to those principles. There are many ways to get involved as a parent at JBE, and the teachers and staff seem very receptive to having input from us parents. For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone who is zoned for this district would ever choose to send their child anywhere else. It truly is a neighborhood shool, where everyone is made to feel welcome and respected. One of our children is special needs, and it has never been a problem seeking additional help or insight from the administrators and staff at this school when we've needed it. Go JBE!

My name is Whitney Johnson my daughter has been attending James B Edwards since 2013 and ever since she was there they give the most education that you could possibly want your child to receive when attending a school I love this school that go above and beyond for the children she's been here from kindergarten now in the second grade and I'm looking forward to the next three years of her being there if you're looking for school in the Mount Pleasant area as in the elementary school this should be your number one stop J.B.E you ROCK!!!!!

JBE is a family school! Staff are kind and greet students by name. Principal Rambo is energetic, loving and fun! The smallness is comforting. Its our first year and I'm so glad we're there!

James B. Edwards Elementary is an amazing gem of a school. You feel a sense of calm bringing your child into a place where administrators,teachers, and staff knows each child by name. Kids are given a wonderfully structured learning environment where the teachers care about the child as a whole not just for their academics. JBE listens to new research and now has longer recesses, homework that is meaningful,and will be implementing flexible seating in all classrooms. If you want your child to be more than a test score, you need to bring them to JBE.
