"I have three children attending Jarrell ISD elementary and middle school campuses. We have been in Jarrell for five years.

We like that the school is small and the children are encouraged to participate in all activities. They are all encouraged to participate in UIL competitions and have won many academic awards. The teachers are very supportive and if a child is struggling they work with the parents to help the child achieve their goals.

The children are also allowed to play all sports that they are interested in playing. You don’t have to “try out” to make the team. Everyone is played on the team and encouraged to do their best. The coaches are positive in helping the children who are playing sports."

"Our family moved to the Jarrell area in 1997. At that time, we had an 8th grader, a 1st grader and a kindergartner. My daughter the youngest, just graduated from high school this year. My oldest pursued college and a military career, my middle son is also attending college.

Over all we found Jarrell Independent School District to be a positive experience for all three of our children. They were encouraged to excel in school and participation in extra curricular activities was fostered. Our children’s teachers actively sought parental input and our student’s success was their primary goal.

Jarrell Independent School District has a proactive school board and an administration that responds to questions and concerns, and creates and promotes a positive learning environment. "

In Jarrell, "The elementary, middle school and high school are all listed as Recognized for Academic Achievement by TEA for 2008. My wife and I raised four children and they all attended Jarrell. Our oldest daughter graduated from Texas A&M in 2009 with a degree in psychology. We have another daughter in vet school at A&M. Our oldest son is a criminal justice major at Tarleton. Our youngest son will be a freshman this tear at Jarrell. We have a new high school and will have a new elementary school by 2010. We have made a lot of improvements in the last few years. Parents should feel confident in sending their kids to Jarrell. They get a quality education, get to actually play in sports if they choose and they can get some personal attention from teachers when needed. "
