    JLS has some ups and downs and overall as a student it was a good middle school however compared to private schools there could be some improvement. Especially with student life as a victim of bullying from other students, although there are many good people there should definitely be more stricter bullying policies.

    Learning Targets and Evidence Based grading have changed the world. Can't wait to see it all on Schoology.
    A beautiful school with teachers who actually are interested in how their students are doing academically to prepare them for higher education
