    "Andrew Jackson is an amazing school. My child is thriving there, and I am very happy with her education thus far. The Principal, the teachers, and other support staff are all very invested in making this school one of the top in the city, and it is happening! My daughter has her choice of many after school clubs, and she is one of the few students who is lucky enough to have a brand new, fully stocked library in her school. Class sizes are so small, so I know she is getting the attention she needs. I'm just glad I was able to get her in the school before everyone else finds out about it."

    "This school has positively blossomed under the new principal. Three years ago, test scores lagged the city's truly horrible average. Last year's scores beat the city AND state averages in every category. Involved, motivated parents have been working with the staff, bringing in the new library, green initiatives, after school dance, soccer and cooking classes and now Italian, Spanish and Cantonese classes. Recent budget cuts have resulted in a bit of shifting around, but the hard-working, dedicated staff has shown no signs of letting up. Go Jackson!"

    "Great News from Andrew Jackson where we are "Working United Towards Excellence" Jackson has a brand new Library! Stay tuned for our grand opening. We are also going green. Jackson received a grant to fund a Rooftop Rain Barrel Garden project through Recycle Bank. It is part of our effort to lead the community in green initiatives. Also coming in April a beautiful mosaic mural made by our students, families and CosaCosa community partners will be gracing the front of our classic building. All funded through a grant from Penn. Citizens for Children and Youth."

    "Andrew Jackson has a great new principal and she is really changing the climate and culture at Jackson! We are so excited by the changes. More activities, excellent education and a safe small school environment. My kids love all the new activities and as I parent l love the chance to really get involved in the school."

    "Well to adress the above comments. The staff is hard working and dedicated. The school can not control the sizi of the classroom or many other aspects such as extra curricular, or music. This is something that comes from the school district itself. Parents do not realize that staff fights for things and are denied, although they the teachers are the ones who know what the students need. As for the students, many are unruly, again, this does not have anything to do with the staff. Many parents are not around and offer no support in their child's education. This is where the lack of control stems from."
