Research Congetta Trippe Janet Elementary School public Schools in New Orleans, Louisiana

“I had 4 kids attending C.T. Janet during the 2004-2005 school year, I was not satisfied with the leadership of the school. Most teachers at the school seem to do a great job, however, the leadership is poor. The principal has been there a few years and has managed to disconnect herself from the parents and the students.”

“My son transferred from Janet to Estelle mid year because I didn t feel that he was learning what was needed. The parental involvement at Estelle V s Janet is such at better experience. At Janet you have to be select to go on field trips with your child. At Estelle they encourage parents to be involved. They feel the more parents the better. The parents are always welcome at Estelle but at Janet they make parents feel like they are not welcome. Estelle has a parenting center were parents and even younger non school age siblings are welcome. At Janet there is no parenting center and younger are not allowed at most events. I m not trying to brag but my son is very intelligent and Janet has all of there students together. Janet does not put there children in classroom learning levels and it was holding my son back because he was ready to move on to something else but being that half the class didn t understand he had to wait At Estelle he is group with the children that are on his learning level. Janet was just holding him back. I wouldn t recommend this school. He is going into 2nd grade and I m very happy with my decision to leave.”

“I think this school has lost something over the last year or so. They lost most, if not all, of the fifth grade teachers last year. The office staff has been very helpful and care for the students allot.”

“This school is probably the best elementary school in Jefferson Parish. I was a student there. I would just like to tell parents that it is a great school to grow your young children into a great academic student. Hey, look at me, I went there as an average kid, and came back as an over achieved scholar. So, if I were you, I'd send your kid there.”

“My child has gone to Janet for the past four years. It is a wonderful school; the staff always does their best to help with qeustions etc. My son has really grown from this experience and loves his teachers.”

“My son is attending Janet this school year 06-07. I was not impressed. My son is in kindergarten and he will not be returning next year for 1st grade. I have waited all year to see if the class would be doing actual work. It s now mid Feb and they haven t! I feel its now time for me to speak up. All they seem to do all day is color and play. He never has homework. He has not learned any skills that he will need for 1st grade next year. The teachers/staff, class rooms and the school is a big joke. Now I understand how there performance/ testing scores are so low.”

“I have one child that attended C.T. Janet for school year 05-06. I was very impressed by the outcome of her performance. Homework everyday, her reading skills increased tremendously, she knows addition, subtraction, and some multiplication, she learned songs in sign language, and the teachers were very helpful. My daughter was in kindergarten and she will be returning next year for first grade.”

“I have 2 children that went to Janet during the 05-06 school year. They will not be returning. The classrooms are a joke. They aren t being taught on there grade levels. The staff at Janet is very unprofessional.”

“My child has attended Janet for 2 yrs. The staff there are rude and unprofessional. My child has had problems ever since day one. Need less to say he will no longer attend Janet for 06-07 school year.”
