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.

Passable school experience. Nothing to write home about. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are.

I had a great experience, but I didn't like the middle school philosophy - making kids completely responsible for everything, as if parents weren't allowed to be a part of the school environment. Kids go from being "spoon-fed" in grade school to having so much responsibility, where parents aren't informed anymore. SMH

With two children who attend JTMS, I feel the administration is highly responsive to parent concerns and actively works to create a positive learning environment for all students. Strong sense of community.
