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.

I teach at JMS and as 35 year veteran teacher I know without a doubt we have the best staff to guide and teach our scholars. Our focus is literacy and we strive to push our scholars with high expectations so they can be successful when they leave us. We provide lots of incentives for scholars.

One teacher in particular, Mrs. Evelyn House, has spent over 25,000 dollars of her own money to provide technology,...
