This school will let your child get bullied and will not inform the parents of the child whos getting bullied
They let rude little boys run around and push, hit and tell other students they will kill their parents and do nothing about it.

My overall experience with Russian Jack can be summed up as GREAT!! They were accommodating and very helpful to me and my family as a whole...even the ones not attending Russian Jack. This is a family oriented school with a wonderful administrative team. The teachers and admins have made a positive impact on my children and I intend to keep my children there until middle school. Love, love, love this school.

Theres an employee in the lunch line, named Delores. Her looking at all the kids with a smug facial expression and scary looking, like she disapproves of them.
It was Bring your parent day at school, so I decided ti go eat lunch with m child. In the lunchline, there was no greeting whatsoever. That Delores woman asked me WHOSE Class are you in. Intead of asking me politely, she demanded. When I told her, she just said, "This lunch cost 3.50. I cant just give you free lunch." She just scowled at me. If shes unhappy with her job, she should really seek other employment.
