Withrow Avenue Junior Public School

I went to this school for 8 years and it was the best!

Great school! I attended there for 9 years. Great overall facilities and staff.

Only gets 5 stars because of there amazing kind caretaker jeff!!

I would give less than one star if possible. My child went to this school for a short period and her teacher was great, but the principal Beverly O'Brien is absolutely TERRIBLE. She is very PREJUDICE against people from lower economic status and different background. This was not just my experience, but I've spoken to other moms in my similar situation and they felt the same way. When I had to transfer my child out after moving, the principal gave me the registration information for the wrong school! She did not even bother to check what program (English vs French) my child was in and assumed my child was in the English program and gave me the English school to register my child at. Only after I went to register, did I realize and figure out the right school (French immersion). She assumed because of our background and economic status, my child would not be enrolled in the French program when in fact she was. She assumed that my child was not capable of studying another language. When I told her she gave me the wrong school to register at, she did not apologize or admit her mistake. Instead, she asked me if I talked to the principal at the English program school.... a school my child never even attended!! I have complained to the TDSB Superintendent office about this and they did absolutely nothing. TDSB claims to strive for equality, when in fact they do not.
