Unbelievable school. I have had one child move through JGMS and another currently enrolled. The education is second to none, and the careing and nurturing environment by the teachers and administration is great. The principal is very level headed and has the best interest of all students at hand.

My son is in his second year and we feel that the school is very challenging. Last year the communication between Teacher/Parent was excellent. This year his academy is not as good at informing the parents of the things going on at school. The IB cirriculum requires a foreign language, art/drama/video

Also moe projects then I remember as a a middle schooler. They have an excellent Parent Teacher Organization and they help keep us informed of activities at the school. I do like that the teachers do like parental help in their classrooms. Read less

My son attended John Glenn, and I found that the faculty was no nonsense. This was great since my son is a GATE student. The atmosphere is conducive to learning, and they ensure that the students are focused and happy.
