I'm currently enrolled in this school, and they don't let us know any events that are happening. I like events. Only the eighth grade teachers are good, other grades suck. The food here is awful, and hurts my stomach every time I eat it. The only good sports at this school are volleyball and basketball. The students, however, are friendly. That's brings my rating of it up.

I went to school here this year and tbh I am really gonna miss the people but not much the school... they threatened 8th graders to "not get back up in the cafeteria" or else they would cancel our field day and 8th grader ceremony only SIX days before school ended, they really treated us as if we were elementary students at times and then adults for punishments. Some kid cheated off an EOG and they barely got ISS but when 2 people kiss in the hallway it's a afterschool detention. Anyways they just need to learn on how to Discipline their students.

I'm in the eighth grade and I love it here. It's fun and really helps for high-school and college preparedness. Bullying isn't much of an issue which I really appreciated. The food last year was better but besides that, I would definitely recommend coming here if you want a good, fun education.

Thi...

This is my last year at J N Fries and my last two years have been the worst years ever, I’m barely motivated to do anything anymore because this school has ruined that. Most of the teachers have very little respect for students and do not teach well by giving very little explanation on assignments a...

Disappointing experience. Lacks STEM education and engaging lessons. Limited resources and outdated curriculum. Fails to inspire curiosity or critical thinking. Needs significant improvement.
