I guess I'm one of the few parents who rate a school based on the reading/math scores, not only on how 'nice' the staff is. Thank God my children are top students or they would be lost. ONLY 34% of the children in 8th grade are reading and doing math at or above their level! This is terrible! To say

My daugher just graduated from JHS 231! I also have two other children attending the school. I cannot emphasize how dedicated, nurturing, and 'effective' the Principal (Mr. Brisbane) and other staff members for each academy are. I am extremely satisfied with each member of the school. My daughter, who

The learning environment was very authentic, stimulating and enriching. She gained a sense of purpose and self-worth in order to be an active participant in our ever-changing world. My two other children also enjoy attending Magnetech JH.S. 231 for the same reasons as mentioned above. Way-to-go 231! Read less
