GreatSchools Rating
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.

Best school and administration. Teachers are well experienced. Need more sport activities. Very good communication between teachers and parents, they keep us posted about children issues.

It was a bit competitive, but not too bad. They "prepared us for high school", meaning they gave us a lot of work that stressed us out and kept us up until 3 in the morning. And then they were "surprised at how kids these days get no sleep" and "it must be social media and all these phones". The only time I ever used my phone was if I had to call my mom after school. I had no form of social media whatsoever. I didn't even have a social LIFE. Yet I still stayed up late every night. We had a 'no-homework day' on the 13th of each month... or at least, we were supposed to. Honestly, I stayed up later in middle school than I do now in high school. And I go to JP.

I am a parent to one of the student in this school. Hope they remove 3D sculpting subject from the syllabus. One of the time waste and not useful subject. Better, they can give a better choice to the student. Better, they can keep the subject as required.

The school is really nice and clean. They care about kids and would do anything for them. I am currently attending Jams and it is amazing. The teachers try to make school fun like there are some days when we have no homework like today. Today was lucky 26 so no homework for the whole school! The tea...
