I went to JJMS and my daughter is now a student here. It's a great school academically and incredibly safe. The only issues I have are with diversity and cultural awareness. The school is something like 95% white and they just recently changed the name of their mascot from "the Indians" to the wolves. I went to school here in 99 and we knew then the mascot was racist and embarrassing. There's just a lot of examples of this kind of cultural or racial ignorance here, so keep that in mind.
I personally had a difficult time socially, adjusting from elementary school to middle school. For 3 years wasn't placed in with anyone I knew well from elementary school and lost most of my friends for a period of time. It was a pretty difficult period of my life and I never really felt comfortable there. School always started so early and I absolutely hated getting up so early. Despite not doing that well, I feel like I still learned a lot and prepared me for High School well. I enjoyed many of the teachers, Mr. Ley, if he still works there was life-changing, but some of them were real stinkers. Last point, this school, like the high school is rich and white, if you aren't any of those things, you will not see much of yourself reflected in the student body.
This school is great for kids!The children actively speak in class, have a good learning environment, and the teachers are very patient to teach the children, you can see that there is no conflict between the students and the teacher, get along very friendly。
