David Starr Jordan Middle School

My son has been a student at Jordan Middle since 6^th grade. He’s been bullied every year. This year, he was assaulted in the middle of class by a boy who put a rope around my son’s neck and tried to strangle him. The day after this, the same boy brought a knife to school and told my son not to mess with him. This boy was NOT expelled… he was apparently placed in another Burbank middle school and will be back at Jordan next year.
The principal Mrs. Cashman never even bothered to call to see if we were ok… she let her assistant principal handle the whole thing… badly. What a joke. Bullying is a very big thing at this school, and the kid’s safety is NOT a huge concern of the principal or assistant principal.
Think twice.

Update– change Ms. Cashman, she is a terrible principal. Jordan is NOT Luther, return to Luther if you enjoyed you job better there. I have never known a school to have two-​three assistant principles– what, does Ms. Cashman actually do. Recently I had a paper conference and the teacher was also not happy about all the recent changes made to the school since the arrive if ms. Cashman– example– on V-​Day the teacher and kids were allowed to pass out candy if they brought wnought for the hole class and it was sealed and brought from a store, however Ms. Cashman stopped that!!!
When is the office mold and mildew going to be removed– it’s been there for over 6 months. Get it together Ms. Cashman

Great school with a great faculty and great curriculum. Although the school looks and is old inside and out, it’s nestled in a nice residential area of Burbank.
