Our daughter attends HJMS and loves it!!! She is very involved and takes pride in her school. Alot of people think because the school is old that its bad. Not true! All middle schools aren't great. Because middle school children are trying to find them selves and get the first dose of peer pressure.

I love HJMS! My second child is now enrolled in Jones and I wouldn't put her anywhere else. My son went there for three years and the quality is just as great today as it was then. Others have commented on the school being run down and old and at one time it was the ONLY middle school in Paulding.

I love all of the teachers at HJMS and the students will tell you how much their teachers care about them. Don't judge a book by its cover....HJMS is a GREAT school! Go Tigers! Read less

Alot more is going on than what he see's..... sorry! I suggest camera's in all rooms and to be turned on instead of ' Oops, sorry camera wasnt on today'. If you cant use them return them and get your credit back...Kathy Read less

Herschel Jones has been a wonderful school. It may seem small, 'run down' or whatever, but overall, it teaches so much for your future. The teachers there actually care about the students. The band program is a really good one, as is the old (2000-2004) Venture program. (They have a new teacher now I

HJMS has made some physical improvements to the school over the summer. Yes, it is and old school but the teachers and staff make up for it. My daughter loves HJMS. She excelled in the 6th grade and couldn't wait to go back during the summer break. She is involved in many activities at the school.

Coming from Atlanta, I would have to say that the conditions of this school are horrific! This particular school is entirely too small. The school is a eyesore and says alot about the community in which it is located. In just looking at the school, I would not allow my child or anyone else's for that
