Jerry Voorhis Elementary School Reviews

Reviewed
by a  Parent  Mark D. Peters
The school is exceptional to look at and has a good attendance but when you break it down to the teacher level, well not to pleasing.  Met with my nephews teacher last night and was not impressed.  My nephew requires special attention and our family made the school distric aware along with the principal and SHE ASSURED US that she will share our nephews situation with his teacher.  That did not happen.  I WILL NOT reccomend this school to anyone.  The teacher said she does not beleive in "Babying" the children, we are not asking that, just show some compassion and tenderness.
