Jess Harben Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-09-29 “I read the review dated February 1, 2007. Mr. Forte has not been the principal of Jess Harben for the last three years, Mr. Goodson has. I personally have not been that impressed with this school like I thought I would. Although I think that this school scores high when it comes to acedemic performance and expectations I give them a failing mark when it comes to the treatment of students and parents. I have dealt with some of the most arrogant and rude attitudes from teachers at this school. I am very dissapointed with Mr. Goodson because I believe everything starts at the top. I think that this school needs to not only set high expectations on test scores but also act in a positive manner which effects our childrens mental health. There is no excuse for verbal abuse!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-02-01 “My son has gone to Jess Harben for the last 3 years and I have been impressed with the level of professionalism of the staff as well as the dedication of the teachers. We've had a range of teachers that have been there forever to one that was a first year. I was a little nervous about both, but they all ended being amazing. He has two teachers this year and I can't even begin to convey how unbelievable they have been. Very invested, caring, and available. Mr. Forte, the new principal is fabulous as well. He truly cares for/about the children and it shows. I am grateful we chose Jess Harben to be the foundation of our son s education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-02 “Vary good staff and vary clean Building.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-03-31 “Someone noted there were teachers that were fired from Jess Harben. That is incorrect. Many of the teachers who left were at retirement age and had to retire to meet a deadline for benefits.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-03-23 “Jess Harben is located in a very family oriented neighborhood. The park and public swimming pool next to it is convenient as well. I didn't know the principal before Mr. Forte so I can't compare the two but he seems to be doing a fine job. There are a few first year teachers in the younger grades which I'm not sure is negative or positive.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-01-29 “Hmmm...as far as I know, no one was fired...contrary to the other review, I have found there to be a good mix of new and older teachers all of whom are consistently caring and well able to teach my children. I have nothing but the best to say about Jess Harben. I have to wonder about the reasons for the negative review.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2003-11-10 “Most of the experienced teachers from 2002 were either fired or quit for 2003. This may be due to budget cuts. I plan on placing my child in private school due to inexperience of two many first-year teachers.”
