Jason Lee Reviews

I have two children at JL. They've made good friends and the curriculum is great. I had heard it was a 'bad' school prior to moving to Tacoma, and almost enrolled my daughter in on-line school. I'm so happy I didn't. The oppurtunities available to her and my son are awsome.

We have been thrilled with Jason Lee, it h teachers, programs, and administration. We live in the north end and had heard that another school was better, so we did some research. We found that JLee has made amazing strides these past years. Entering the school we were greated by several staff, the principal made time to speak with us, and we even met some teachers. Our son hasn't been so happy about school since first grade. Right away he made friends, was placed in advanced classes, and recieved extra help in writing. Our daughter began classes there last week. She is thrilled to take art and hopefully glassblowing next year. When asked how her first day was, she said, 'Everyone was really nice, even my teachers. They said that school would be really hard this year, but they would help me.' What more could we ask for?

I think the Jason Lee teachers - most of them really care about the school. I do, however, have problems with the administration there. My daughter will be going into 8th grade. She has spent so far all her middle school years at Jason Lee. I am thinking about transferring my daughter, but at the same time, I do love some of the teachers.

Back when the days on Hill Top where not as good as they are now, I went to this great school. I am happy that I went there, and still recall many memories till this day of the great teachers who care and the rest of the staff as well. Im proud to have gone to this school, and would recomend others to allow there children to go as well. There still are some of my thearches there that would be happy to see your new attend there.

We started my son at Jason Lee, but after a short time we decided to dig deep in our pockets and put him in private school. The facility is gorgeous, the programs are there, but the level of student harassment is high. Being that my son is neither weak, nor a bully, we were surprised that after only 2 weeks he had all of his school supplies stolen during pictures, he was subjected to inappropriate name-calling, and had another student threatening to beat him up. I wish I had a better experience to relate, but this is honesty.
