I went to Janney Elementary School from Pre-K4 to Fifth Grade and I had a lot of fun. There isn't much importance placed on academics obviously, and looking back it seems like kind of a blur, since I can't really remember what I learned specifically. There were fun field trips though, so that's nice, and I never felt unsafe when I was there. It is in an amazing and safe location, and there are before school and after school childcare programs offered called JAC, which I took part in as long as I could.
