"Our children have been at John Ross for the past four years and my husband and I are extremely pleased with their progress. The teachers are great to work with and they really challenge our children. My kids have reading homework every night and math, social studies, and science throughout the week. We have found the staff very helpful and professional. I have volunteered there for two years and have always felt welcome and appreciated for my efforts. Our kids are learning and thriving at John Ross."

"When I took a position in OKC we chose Edmond solely because the schools were said to be the best in the state. I believe many who move to the area from out of state will be suprised by Edmond Schools. Although I understand they are not bad and very good for the area - like the road construction methods here - the methodology and style of learning used in this school system is 10yrs + behind some of the neighboring states. It is like steeping back in time where many of the teachers raise their voices (yell) and expect young children to be perfectly still while standing in a line. Those who are extremely happy with this system have not experienced more modern positive reinforcement systems. (They actually work extremely well.)"

"This school does not challenge my children. My 2nd grader has not had a single item of homework the entire school year so far. We moved here from another state and John Ross (or Edmond schools maybe?) has not caught up to my kids yet this year. Very disappointing! Also, the woman that works the front counter in the office is horribly rude and I'm not the only parent to say this. We will not be there next year. Sad they are losing me, because I don't work and have not felt welcome to volunteer in the classroom or the school even after asking several times. Can't wait for this year to be over!"

"This school is wonderful. My oldest went from not even slightly reading at PC duriing the first semester of kindergarten to reading very well at the end of kindergarten, I frimly believe that it is because of JR teachers/faculty.."
