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.

Jonas Clarke Middle School to be honest is a pretty good school if you are not really annoying, the students here are really kind and the teachers are also pretty good. The principal is a very good person, and I haven't seen any bullying in this school YET. The only thing I hate about this school is the lunch SUCKS! The grading system is also very annoying, it is graded by Beginning, Progressing, or Metting, instead of ABCD. The school lunch really sucks!!!!!

I would like to see more diversity at the middle school. There is very few diversity in the students, and even less in the faculty.

This school may be one of the best in the entire county, but as a student here, I have learned absolutely nothing. Every math class is just a waste of time, and the only good club that motivates thinking is Science Bowl. Don't come to school here. Seek a better one with good academics and education.

Just plain bad. Teachers issue you detention for every little thing, only like 2 decent teachers have I ever met, lunch is decent. But the school tries to hide stuff they don't want the public to know. I wonder how much the students are paid to smile.
