Too much administrative politics, and too much emphasis on a state-wide Advanced Placement Program that doesn't serve kids needs in the end. Teachers are caring, but appropriateness for curriculum content completely misses the mark for what a high schooler needs to enter the workforce. To much hollow virtue signaling and woke-ism at the admin level. Too much Covid Politics, Too many participation trophies, Too much patting themselves on the back for mediocrity in education. Wasn't always this way. Need to get back to teaching the 3 Rs of Reading, Writing, Arithmetic. ...as a parent, I'm expecting, and demanding, serious changes once the new political regime changes at the state level in November.

My children did not have a good experience at the Middle School, despite doing wonderfully in elementary and High School. I am shocked at the lack of supervision in the hallways, cafeteria, drop off/ pick up, in front of the bathrooms, etc. Students cannot use the restroom because there is slap boxing going on or toilets/sinks have been broken, they can't eat in the cafeteria because it is overcrowded. I do not know how Superintendent Butterfield visits and does not see how bad JMS is. Nick Brown will lie to parents faces and turn around and do the opposite thing that he has promised to do. He hides behind his assistant principals. 3 electives are too much for Middle Schoolers, mine were very stressed juggling the course load. The general education teachers genuinely do not look happy, nor will follow an IEP or 504. They give your child an F so that they move to a special education classroom all day, despite making good grades at Intermediate. The turnover is high, especially in special education. Special education rooms are not safe, properly staffed, or engaging, especially the 'moderate' or essentials classrooms. The kids either fight or sit and play games on their Chromebooks. Once we survived and made it to the High School, things did a 180. Take hede of these reviews, JMS will not be a good experience if your child isn't an athlete, very high achieving, white, or considered a popular kid.

The pre-k teachers are all very nice from what I can tell when I go volunteer. My child's pre-k teacher is an absolute treasure. I do worry about a para who I think is too rough with the student she is working with. She is a bigger woman and yells at the child to SIT DOWN. I just do not think that is appropriate at that age to get into a child's face and scream at them. The class seems a bit unorganized at times, but I can tell that my child loves her class and her friends and is learning a lot! I like that they are able to eat in the classroom family style. I love the parent engagement and how welcoming they are. I love that the teacher rotates centers and each student has a job to do. I am excited for my child to move on to kindergarten and I know they will be well prepared!

All in all, we have enjoyed our experience at WI. Any problems we have encountered have been addressed. The 504 coordinator and ELL teachers, are SOOOO good. Very supportive and proactive when an issue arises. The teachers have been good with assisting when bullying issues or other issues have happened. The specials teachers are great too! i wish there was more adults in the cafeteria and I wish class sizes weren't so large, but happy overall.
