School Reviews
| 5 KJDS was a second home to my son and is not a second home to my daughter. It is probably the best decision I will ever make about their education because it established for my son and is establishing for my daughter a love of learning that is priceless and that runs deep. There is just no better elementary school our there if you want your kids to learn amazing amounts, be loved and respected completely, and look forward to school every single day. I just can't say enough about this wonderful school. - Posted by Parent - Joelle Adajian |
