    Definitely avoid at all costs! All teachers quit, parents leave and principal is horrible. Don't waste your time or money.

    I went to High School here from 2005 to 2007, 11th and 12th grade. Donna Klein Jewish Academy is…read moresuch a fantastic, close knit experience, I couldn't have asked for better. I actually transferred here from a public school in Pennsylvania, but I was welcomed right away as family. I was actually lucky because within a month of starting school, most of my grade took a two month high school experience in Israel, so I really got to bond with them there. Over the course of my two years at Donna Klein, we went to Israel twice, once on the Alexander Muss High School in Israel Program, the other on the March of the Living. I can say that the school pushing these trips made for some of the most important experiences of my life. My whole grade at the time of graduation was 20 students, which means I was really able to get to know all of them very well. Socially, you'd think that having less students wouldn't be a good thing, but it really does add a level of closeness to the school. You not only bond with you class, but all the other classes and students in the school. They did offer a lot of athletics, but not many clubs to join. Nevertheless, most of the social experiences at Donna Klein are very beneficial and prepare you for whatever experiences you have after school. On the education front, I was very pleased with all aspects of it. Most of the courses were the standard courses (math, science, history, English), but also they had plenty of AP and honors courses as well. Class sizes were very small, which had the great benefit of having lots of attention and care. I think my biggest class was maybe 12 kids, and that was a huge class for there. Donna Klein offered a college advisor to help all of us prepare for college. I can't say she was the best college advisor, but because the school size was so small, she met with each one of us on a regular basis, which was always nice to have the extra attention. They also offered a good series of electives, which was nice to be able to choose at least one class on our own. In terms of religion, we basically had a session in the morning where you could choose between a more religious or secular daven to attend, maybe a total of 5 choices. We also had a Judaic studies class, and a hebrew class. I thought it was a very healthy amount of Judaism for the school, and allowed you to choose whatever denomination suited you best. Most of the faculty and staff were extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. Because the school is so small, you really get to know them as mentors beyond just teachers and staff, so it is always nice to have people who really do care. Obviously, some were better than others, but all of them you shared a lot of time with and got to know. Without naming anyone particularly, some of their upper management are some of the the worst people I have ever encountered in my entire life. There is more politics in administrators offices than in the United States Congress, and that is putting it lightly. People on top only care about themselves and advancing their own agendas, not helping any of the students or faculty in anyway. These people were so detached I don't think they even knew the names of students in the school, and were talking a school of less than 100 kids that they are the head of! Part of being in a close knit community like Donna Klein are the advantages of everyone having special attention, and these administrators have none of it. They don't listen to anything logical and just want to serve what is best and easiest for them while making the most money possible. One side of me wants to give Donna Klein a one-star because yes, the head of school and upper administration were that bad and in that way, I was disgusted to have given them a dime, but I choose to remember the good parts of Donna Klein. My advice to parents and students would be to at all costs avoid the people who run the school at the administrative levels and just stick to the faculty and staff. Unless it benefits the bottom line for the school the head of school won't help you, and may even go out of her way to hurt you. The price of going to school here is also not cheap, and most likely going up in the future. I cannot speak to current facilities, but I can say that the private school atmosphere is one I have to highly recommend, it is worth the money. When I went to school at Donna Klein, our whole school was about 84 students total (9th - 12th), and the physical location was in a trailer. I know that they have now moved into the actual JCC area, which I've seen and is very good. Either way, the key factor at Donna Klein is community. Because it is a small school, you are able to get special attention in terms of education, and have a close group of friends. Transferring into a new school can be tough, but Donna Klein made not only the transition easy, but into a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend Donna Klein Jewish Academy highly enough.

    This school destroyed all of my daughter's dreams. She was excited to grow in her Jewish identity,…read morebut was unfairly expelled without warning or compassion. Deeply disappointing experience.

    Great school, my niece attends, love coming here to surprise her and pick her up early. She enjoys…read moreher class and her teacher very much. The only reason I can't give a full 5 stars is due to a bullying situation my niece has been going through for over 2 months now. My family pays good money for her to attend and the fact that it's taken so long to bring attention to the situation is beyond me. A little girl in her class goes out of her way to bully her and she comes home crying regularly yet it took 2 months to get the teacher to even consider speaking with the bully. I would expect a lot more especially from a private catholic school.

    me thinks no. is bad…read more very bad. no go. There needs to be a negative star option. Please, if you are a parent reading this, do not send your child to this hell hole. The staff and faculty members act like the children in this case. They blatantly and loudly talk about other children in front of kids and are more involved in rumors than some kids. The teachers pick favorites and the kids they dislike they purposely get in trouble. I can name countless times children have gotten detentions for uncalled for reasons. If a teacher doesn't like you, or your child they will make your kids life hell. Wether it's picking on them in class or making sure to put them in the back, they will do it. They aren't done harassing you until they see fit. They preach a catholic way of life, yet everyone in that school seems to act the complete opposite. When you go and have mass with the kids in the morning hardly anyone sings, you can just tell it's a toxic environment for everyone involved. The teachers and students are some of the most discriminative group of people I've ever encountered, wether its race, sexuality or income level. If you aren't white, rich or straight you are automatically the bad guy. The way they run things at the school is ridiculous and frankly unsafe for the kids. When there's a substitute, they won't show up for up to ten minutes leaving kids outside the classroom unattended. At one point, teachers went through kids phones, and one teacher put a kids phone number on the board, and called his number on her phone. Many teachers are wildly unprofessional, eating, drinking, on their phones and in some cases, they would watch Netflix or get on a phone call while kids are working. During a code red (threat) they lead all the kids into a back room that is also the bathroom. There's a literal cage back there that they lead all the kids into and make them stand in there like sardines. See, now this leaves no way out in case there was a true threat that were to enter the building. Now they put a lock on the door too. Then, if your kid actually does have some trauma and they go to the counselor, Janet Hearn, it's almost made worse. I've never met a worse counselor in my life. As a kid I used to go to the counselor a lot, until the school got her as their new counselor. Talking to her seems almost impossible, as she only tries to cover up the issue with fake smiles and a pat on the back. You can never come to her about something personal, as she'll disregard it and send you back to class. On another note, the desks and chairs in the rooms are probably older than any of the kids that go to the school. They're covered in markings and carvings, and gum.The chairs are squeaky and rusted. The bathrooms are an extension onto the classroom. There's one stall with a big space where someone can look under the door. Sometimes the lock won't work and the door gets opened while you're going to the bathroom. You also can't use the bathroom if anyone else is using it- you can't wait. they make you go back to class. Not to mention it's also used as a back room where they send kids to make up tests, do a class, or somewhere they send bad kids. There are new teachers every other year because even the teachers realize this school is going downhill. Even after all of this, if you do decide to take a tour, don't worry, they will almost always give you a fake smile and a nod and tell you how happy everyone is at this school. Yet everyone I know is miserable every time they step foot on the premises. Going back there now that I'm older almost gives me a wave of dread as I walk in. It's a place full of hate. Don't send your kids to this school. Don't choose this place as a job. It will not end well.
