I was a teacher at J.N Fries and I was very happy at this school. I think the ideas that the principal introduced of invitational discipline and letting students make choices were great. I also remember my collegue Mr. Nance who sadly passed away some years ago. Mr. Nance was a good example of

I was nervous about my daughter attending this school because it has a bad rap as an 'inner-city' school. So I not only stay on top of what's going on there, but I substitute teach there at all 3 grade levels. The teachers have solid lesson plans & communicate well with each other.The principal & asst.
... Read more principals also communicate clearly. The school staff tries to encourage positive actions & respect. The only problem I've noticed is the students that have NO home-training & need parents that actually ACT LIKE parents. Teachers are forced to waste the precious time we have to educate those who want to learn on sending problems to the office or dealing with their temper tantrums. If a parent can't control their kid at home, what makes you think we can? And why are we forced to expose well-bahved children to that drama? Read less

Horrible school - this school has lost focus of what is important, the child and learning. When they are clearly making mistakes and you do your parental duty to meet with them to get to the heart of the problem and determine next steps you will face a panel not just one that includes administration

Even if your child has been in the district since kindergarten and has never had a bad grade and only praises from teachers to have 30 more like them, there will be no consideration given to your child, they will be treated as if they have failed all along. Beware hard working honest kids and parents! this school get's an f minus from this parent for not doing the right thing. Read less

The person who write about the 'special programs' does not give a fair view. First of all, the developmentally delayed title goes away at 8 years of age.

Great school unless you have a child who's not 'typical'. The special education program is the worst of all the middle schools from what I've seen personally and based on dozens of parents of Autistic and other developmentally delayed children who've had the misfortune of having their kids here. If

I'm an 8th grader at J.N Fries and i'm actually really happy to be leaving J.N Fries for highschool.

As a student, my time at J N Fries showed me a new, unique experience that I will remember for my entire life. This school applies a Code of Honor, just like any other school would. The Code itself is great, but the problem is that the school and it's staff don't do nearly enough to enforce school
