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 was never really a fan of the food at this school because it wasn't very healthy and the quality wasn't good. There could have been a bigger menu with healthier food like salad or a sandwich on wheat bread. The cost wasn't to bad but it could have been a little cheaper. There were no special dietary foods that were provided. Along with no snacks & there was rarely healthy food.

The teachers make sure that we learn everything we can in one year. At this school you are always working and getting things done. There should be a study hall which is one thing every student needs. Every student takes the same classes in middle school because they are required.

This school is great for anyone who wants to attend. You will fit right in no matter who you are. This school is unique because the students are always doing activities together and bonding. I would choose this school again because it has great teachers that have educated me very well. I loved talking and doing work with the students in my classes too.

This is my son's first year and I was worried Middle School would be tough. The teachers and staff at Ira Jones have done an amazing job with making the transition smooth. The teachers don't talk down to the kids and really care about the students. My son made Honor Roll and High Honor Roll so far t...
