Teachers and admin are absolutely wonderful! I am so glad my son switched to this school! He is thriving academically and enjoying being challenged in an enriched environment. We love JDP!

JD Parker has some great teachers! Administration and their support teams, not so good. They don't follow through; they shift blame. Are slow to recognize disabilities or do not have the insight to support the parent with consistency in school.Parental and school communications are poor. Scapegoating seems to be overused at the expense of the student and the parent. A lot of the programs set up by JD Parker are helpful to the less fortunate. I would say one of their strongest attributes. Their teachers’ devotion to the student, and a genuine caring, again one of the stronger attributes.
