School review information
Dr. Annie B. Jamieson Elementary is an outstanding public school that masterfully balances rigorous academics with exceptional arts education. Its renowned Strings Program and strong community involvement make it a top-tier choice in Vancouver's Oakridge neighborhood.
Editorial review summary
Public parent reviews and community signals highlight Jamieson as a highly coveted and diverse school. Parents widely praise the world-class Strings Program, which offers unique musical opportunities rarely found at the elementary level. The active Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is frequently commended for organizing hot lunches, fundraisers, and community events. Because of its strong reputation, parents note that the school is often oversubscribed, making admission a potential hurdle for out-of-catchment families. Some parents express disappointment over the relocation of the Mandarin Bilingual Program, but overall satisfaction remains very high.

- Recently completed a $13.1 million seismic upgrade (2018) for student safety.
- Highly active and supportive Parent Advisory Council (PAC).
- Diverse student body with strong English Language Learning (ELL) support.
Common concerns

- High demand means the school is often oversubscribed, making out-of-catchment enrollment difficult.
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for families living in the catchment area, especially those whose children have an interest in music and orchestral performance. Out-of-catchment families should have a backup plan due to enrollment capacity limits.
