Chester E. Jordan Elementary School

Mixed bag. Chester Jordan has some gifted truly devoted teachers and an excellent counselor. The building is nice but our experience with the administration was dismal. No PTA no community atmosphere. Candy is used as a reward in the classroom. Our family attended Chester Jordan for 1 year. One teacher worked with us closely to help our daughter flourish. The other seemed too busy getting other kids up to speed to make time for ours. Both kinder teachers worked together to recommend both our daughters be moved to 1st grade mid-year a transition that went smoothly at the time. The 1st grade teacher was firm and consistent although her communication with parents was poor. Our kids didn't learn very much but they loved school so we supplemented at home. On requesting their academic records we learned that the asst. principal had not done the paperwork to get our twins' grade placements updated. The new asst. principal did all she could during the summer to help us but it was too late and our daughters had to repeat 1st grade at their new school. The GT teacher was professional and knowledgeable. We heard about many instances of bullying despite efforts to reduce them.

Absolutely amazing school! The principle and teachers go above and beyond to give the children the best school experience and do so while giving them top of the line teaching. Their level of commitment and attention to the students is top notch! We will be moving out of the area soon and will be extremely sad to leave Chester Jordan.

Wonderful school. Friendly and safe environment. The thing I loved the most was if a staff memember saw someone w/o a visitor pass in the hall they'd stop and ask to help you. This made me feel that my PK student was in a safe environment. I can't say enough about the principle! I've never met one so engaged and accessible. She knows most if not all of the kids by names. The nurse is also a great help. The PK bus monitors are always friendly and do a good. We are moving and will not be attending next year.

This school takes students' learning learning very seriously!! if you want to give your child the best chance of success CE Jordan is the place to go! the teachers integrate technology seemlessly and the students are engaged and motivated!!

Its a new school and even though they are sharing facilities with another school they are well organizad. The principal its really involved with the students to the point that she knows most of their names. Over al I think its a good school
