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.

Caring adults take care of my kid when I am not there - what more can I ask for. The principal brought in a plan to give kids helps that need it, and my kids got cool extra classes. He is constantly letting us parents know what is going on. The teachers are very responsive and hold my kid to high expectations. They know my kids well and let me know how things are going. The school is beautiful and well kept.

JMS was the worst school my kids ever attended. As a Military family my kids have 9 schools under their belt, in two countries and 6 states. So when I say JMS is the worst, we have a lot to compare it to.My child was bullied to the point we had to remove her from the school and take away all online...
