Stanley Jones School | Calgary Board of Education - Calgary

I understand that the people that wrote these reviews are angry and not happy with our school but more than half of these complaints are not our schools choices. I found this school quite amazing and it built up my confidence and now i have an amazing group of friends. Some of these things are true but we are always working on improving them. and yes the uniforms can be slightly annoying but what do you expect all uniforms are like that. The teachers are super nice and everyone's super inclusive. I highly recommend this school for your daughter.

I visited this facility today to vote. Very clean and organized with friendly and knowledgeable people running the voting process.

Mrs. Spoering is the best teacher at that school no arguments. She's considerate of her students, does anything she can to help us, is always sticking up for her students and overall the best.

**READ 'TILL THE END** "Sometimes, I wonder why I chose to come to AJA. It's not that great. If you choose to attend this school, I'm warning you, this school might look awesome and happy on the outside, but the teachers and staff memebers are racist. They don't treat students equally." (So much for the equal uniform situation) "Be warned, the older kids pick on younger students for stupid reasons. The older teachers pick favorites. They choose white skin colors over any other skin colors. Your skin color shouldn't define your rights, especially in an all girls' school. The teachers don't know how to handle problems. They say they're going to help your situation, but they just critcize you. When you're trying tryout and/or join clubs such as track, wrestling and basketball, they choose older kids even if they don't deserve to join. I'm not trying to get sued but, this school is so un equal. The older kids at this school are always trying to pick on younger kids, when you confront a teacher, they tell us to respect the older kids. The older students don't show good examples." (They're not good role models.) "They're hiypocrites. Older kids swear on school grounds infront of our younger students. These students don't respect bus drivers. Whenever they want something, and the majority of the group don't want it, they get their way. Teachers in this school are mean and desrespecful. I know you're supposd to respect older figures, but they don't respect you. Teachers assume everything in this academy. Everytime I set foot into this school, I get my youth and my personality drained out of me. They either treat you younger than your age, or they treat you like the older students in this academy. Teachers don't assist darker skin tones. Teachers show attitude to younger figures. Teacher easily get offended, they also treat kids like we're puppets. Teachers also don't respect your personal privacy and/or space." (They eavesdrop on conversations. Even though we don't feel comfortable sharing. But they forcefully demand that you share your conversation as if they're your legal guardian.) "The school building itself is terrible. The classroom sizes are stupidly big while the hallways are small and cloistered. The school is too small. There are three schools in one building. The building itself can't even support one school. The vending machines are too expensive. They give you litrelly 80% of air and 20% of product. The plastic water bottles are also too expensive. The gym locker room is unhygenic and grosteque. They only have one gym locker room. The oder in the gym locker room is ghastly and horrifying. They make you change infront of girls. They don't understand that some people aren't comfortable changing around students. You also have to share the gym locker with another person. The teachers come into the gym locker room and take your personal belongings. That's inapropriate and disgusting. The uniforms at this school are extremly uncomfortable and easily get dirty. The tights and socks rip so easily. The uniform is so overpriced. Their rules are so ridiculous."(No colored hair tie, no nail polish, no colored hair, no more than two pircings, no colored hair accessories, only one braclet, one neckalce only, no socks accept indigo..) **KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND IT IS NOT A CHARTER AND/OR CATHOLIC SCHOOL** "This school is also very dirty. The floors are nasty and the walls are horrifying. Please read this rant if you're considering putting your child in this academy."

Going to Alice jamesion was a great and bad experience if you're thinking to send your child in this school it has some flaws. Now in 2021 many teachers and students are leaving. Children use strong language and most of the times there issues going on with the students. Overall this school had the amazing experience for all the students here. The teachers are great in 2021 I suggest you send you're child to this school in my opinion they will learn a lot Equality, Peace, Gender equality and much more. Thank you AJA teachers for all what you did I hope AJA students have the best experience here. From Unknown AJA student

This school is awesome, there was some up's and down's I started this school in grade 5 and the kids would hate me for some reason. when i would tell the teachers they would always give me positive things. i made friends in grade 6 and it was awesome. This school is just awesome. this is my last year here so good luck to anyone who is gonna come here, your gonna love it. (ik there are spelling and grammar errors)

I've been going here for a while now and I can wholeheartedly say that it is the best school experience I've ever had. Most of the students (keyword: most) and teachers are really welcoming (except for the one teacher, but whatever). And speaking personally, it was really easy for me to make really good friends. I know that there a lot of bad reviews for this place, but it has gotten much better.

This is the worst school EVER!!!!!!!! this school is a literal nightmare and everything about it is horrible. The uniforms are so hard to find, and there are not many options. They force you to take French and don't even give you a option. All the people (including the teachers) are mean. Everyone is racist and they treat new kids bad. The kids without uniforms would get stared at and bullied. The bathrooms are absolutely discussing, there was only one working stall out of the three. The rules where very confusing. Your not allowed colored rubber bands or hair bands and no nail polish. They NEVER clean the floors or anything. You have to change infront of everyone and its very uncomfortable. You have to share a very small locker with someone else and we had to eat in the basements. Asking questions was pointless cause they would always shame us for not knowing. No one was welcoming on the first day. THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
