Jennie Moore Elementary School

The teachers and administrators are top-notch at JME. We love their commitment to the students!

My children joined this year and have thrived! Great teachers and leadership. Very supportive environment.

The principal,vice principal,office staff and last but not the least teachers are truly friendly. They are like a family to put it in short.once the child gets into the school and one year of being in the school everyone knows everyone and parents are all so involved. Its amazing to see the way it functions.This school is getting an awesome new building and is going to be a complete magnet school.Mount pleasant's this school in particular cares a lot about parent teacher involvement.Teachers constantly update parents about kids progress in academics and social behavior. Principal is totally approachable anytime.Genuinely sweet natured southern people.

When we moved to the area a year ago my child was in 3rd grade and excited about attending JME. After 3 weeks, we left JME because of the lack of empathy we observed from the teacher he had at the time. I personally witnessed her telling the children to "shut up". When I withdrew him the principle was standing right in front of me and never asked why we were leaving after a short time. My child is far from perfect, but has always enjoyed school and received As and Bs. Until JME. Well we decided to give JME another shot this January, once again struggling with the lack of empathy at this school. Teachers do not send home weekly updates or upcoming events and choose to direct negativity to the child and tells the child to have the parent contact the teacher. What happened to teachers and parents working together through communciation directly. As a parent I want to know the concerns, but would also like to see positive comments also. We will continue at JME but I do hope they invest in educating especially the older teachers in compassion and empathy. Children lose interest in learning when they feel the teacher is not available to assist.
