garbage. the school faculty was less than desirable. the layout of the building was small, cramped, SCARY, and very uncomfortable for all of the kids. the food was completely and utterly atrocious, beyond the standard stereotype of bad school lunches. they would serve us Captain Crunch for lunch regularly. If you want a reasonable meal for your lunch, don't even consider going to Joshua Eaton. Setting aside the lunch, the money that this school had was pitiful. They were "broke as a joke" for lack of a better expression, and the little money that they did have, they wasted on boring field trips (one of which was to a crumbling house) and spent all the other money on their CAPTAIN CRUNCH. it was overall a harrowing experience, I gained nothing from it but some oatmeal that my 5th grade teacher spat onto my favorite sweatshirt, causing me to throw it away. If i could give negative stars, believe me I would. ignore the 1 star I gave, it is a -1 star. Don't even think of sending ur child.

A kid...

This school may appear wonderful from outside but this school community has a very long and disturbing history of bullying and exclusion. There are teachers who have humiliated students for many years and the issue has never been addressed. This is not a "new" community behavior. Family members who...

This school is second to none! Every single teacher is fantastic and ALWAYS acts with the students' best interests in mind. The principal is supportive and creates a warm educational environment. The building itself could use updating.
