My child had a very hard time learning here with rude teachers and staff and rude students.

This school could've had a three, but no. The descision to add RAM is one of the worst descisions D45 has ever made. The truth is, when kids are coming in in the morning advisory was nice for them. It was a time to relax and catch up on work, but now RAM functions as a tenth period essentially (especially on Wednesdays, where it's extended to an appalling 45+ minutes) Nine periods is already enough, but ten? RAM teaches about emotions but the class isn't helping anyone, whether the teachers think it is, it isn't. The average student opinion is RAM is stupid and wasting their time. I understand trying to help but in all honesty, it feels incredibly performative when you're trying to improve our mental health but we aren't even allowed to relax in the morning anymore. The removal of homeroom hit hard too, it might've only been ten moments but it was a time to chill in our nine period schedule. But now it's gone. There's no positive to homeroom being gone either, it was one of the best parts of my 6th/7th experience.The eight grade bathroom is also disgusting. No ventilation, and the toilets are always clogged. I will give JMS a bit of credit though, since they have products for woman.Another good thing about JMS is it's very lgbtq+ friendly and pretty diverse! The teachers are nice for the most part. I also like the change that A-'s are weighted the same as A+'s.So, it's not awful- we've had some good changes this year but the bad ones outweight the good ones. I hope JMS can bring back advisory and homeroom.

Tenemos una agradable experiencia en el colegio, nuestro hijo se encuentra muy contento y le gusta ir a clases cada día. Estamos muy agradecidos con los docentes y los Directores por todo lo que hacen por los alumnos. Soy mamá de alumno de 9°
