9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThree of our children have attended FMS, and it has been a great experience. When something has come up for one of our children, they have been absolutely wonderful in making sure our student gets what they need In several instances, faculty/staff at FMS have gone out of their way to make sure our children are aware of various programs that would help our children and develop their interests. We are very grateful for the people there who see the potential of each child!Parent Review4mo ago - Jefferson Forest High School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school gave great accommodations for my child with learning disability. The administration was quick to change her schedule and make sure that my child could handle the classes. The counselors are very busy but they are trying to be there for every student. The teachers are a mix, some are tired of the disrespectful, careless students that do not want to succeed at anything. I do not blame the; they have the hardest jobs with kids that do not listen and do not do what they suppose to do because they are not disciplined at home. Other kids are high achievers, studying hard and behaving well. Every school we had bullying, in this school we had none so far, which is great. Kids accept students that are handicapped or autistic, they encourage them and do not put them down. Much better than most private schools! Their vocational programs are amazing opportunities, some students can finish school and land a job as an electrician apprentice or hairstylist. Make money right away! I love this school and I really appreciate the treatment my kid gets from the nurses, teachers and staff. She is kind to them and they are very kind to her as well. Thank you JFHS!Parent Review11mo ago
