The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Jane Adams is a generally small school. You don't really see much involvement in a school community as you would in a high school where everyone can have multiple opportunities to get involved with the various school events. But granted as it is a middle school, it's great for what it is worth as you can get a sense of familiarity with all of the staff rather quickly so transitions from elementary and/or to high school are much more smoother.

The school claims to have a "zero tolerance" bullying policy, though in the three years I attended there, I was physically, verbally, emotionally, and sexually harassed, by students and faculty.
