Stanley Jones School | Calgary Board of Education

I HATE this schoolPlease don't send your daughter to this terrible place. Its less of a school and more of a jail. The uniform is too expensive. Wear it is the worst uniform store. All uniform rips really easily. The uniform is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. One month in the uniform and your whole body is full of pimples. They say that wearing a uniform means being equal. If they really cared about that they should have given out free uniforms. They expect kids to change in less then 2 min and only have 2 change rooms. Everyone has to get naked in front of everyone. They make us walk 15 mins to go swimming in snow. Worst field trips. This school is not fair at all, the grade 7s get to do everything. Lunch room rules are terrible. No getting up even to go to the bathroom. No slime. No talking only whispering. No sharing food. No nuts. The play ground rules make everything boring. No playing lava tag, grounders and many other games. If you are playing alone they say that you need to play with someone. If you play with more then 3 people the teachers start spying on you. No slime. No swinging fast. No swinging sideways. No screaming. And when you scream in school they say scream outside. And when you scream outside they are like you can scream . The teachers do not know how to speak proper English. The options are awful. There is no cooking or fashion. No nail polish. No going to the bathroom more then 2 times a day. No going to the bathroom for more then 5 minutes. French teacher is the most meanest. Ps why isn't French an option. Most of us don't even need to speak French. This is NOT an all girls school. There are male teachers in AJA . 2 of the school have boys and girls in them. There are 3 schools in one building. This school is too small. We need to bring most of our own supplies. In the bathrooms there are no girl emergency products. The lunch teachers say no going to the bathroom at lunch and the other teachers say you should have gone at lunch. For someone reason parents think that this school is awesome but it's like going to jail. I wish I was never born because of this school. No one belongs in this school!

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.

my experience here was horrible and i was very disapointed. i expected a good and respectable school, not the opposite. i got bullied a lot and i only have bad memories of this horrible place. please, i beg you, dont send your child here. its a prison!

Litterally no I hate this school dont send your kid here unless you hate them and want to torture them

Im literally being generous by giving this school 1 star....its SO bad...like im not tryna get sued or anything but bro, unless u hate ur child do not send them here. This place is equivalent to living in prison...the changeroom is so bad like it smells so bad and theres no stalls for privacy.not everyone is comfortable with that. And when you reach out to the teachers with your concern, they dont care. Also this school is the opposite of diversity. The only people you learn about is the indegenous people. Dont get me wrong i enjoy learning abt them, but what about all of the other religions that exists. Also, if you think about it, the only teachers that are of colour, out of every teacher that teaches there, also including staff, theres only 2 teachers of colour.The schools holding onto its reputation for dear life.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this school students and teachers are very kind and generous the rules make so much sense I love this school

um i don't like this school, makes me wna kms tbh

The school used to offer really great programs and classes and everything went downhill after covid. We were forced to change in front of people for gym and the change room was really smelly. If ur interested in sight seeing bugs come to the change room. The lockers are extra small and kids who are in grade 4 or 5 get full lockers while older kids get half lockers. Teachers dont do anything when u get bullied and teachers have favorites too. If u make one small mistake with ur uniform u get in trouble. Even for the smallest things.
