The teachers, admin, and all of them are mostly amazing, which in my opinion, makes the school better, but what I think is the problem with the school is the students. Yes the adults are providing us lessons and new information, but not really safety instructions. Joel P. Jensen is a great school, but it would be better if we had better students.

My child attended this school and got bullied. The teachers would say they didn't see it, so basically it didn't happen. She ended up having so much anxiety about school that she was sick every morning and missed a lot of school. She also witnessed kids selling drugs outside, a lot of physical fight...
