This school is very friendly and very educational

I have had two children complete JW Adams and I have one currently in JW Adams. This is one of the best elementary education schools in the area. My children are intelligent and we do work with them at home. The two children that completed JW Adams moved into high school at a very high level was actually able to start college classes in high school. Both have graduated highschool with an advanced degree. My youngest is following in the same pattern. I feel like the staff and teachers care about the individual students and make their best effort in their education. There are several parents bring their children from other school districts just to attend JW Adams.

The integrity of this school leaves much to be desired. The state is looking into the test scores, The administrator comes across as a loving person but she is not a leader. The lack of leadership allows teachers to do as they please. Students are bullied and nothing is done about it. There are some great teachers but most I have had the chance to get to know, through my children and the community, are stand offish and don't communicate with the parents. They talk about the students in front of other students and teachers. Unless your child is the best I would not recommend this school.

I'm a harsh critic and I expect a lot for my kids. I'll admit but being in the educational field I know what to look for and I'll tell you this. Absent the new change in regime SPE is a wonderful school. It's unfortunately losing it's magic quickly though because of bad decisions by the local Wise Co School Board in its decision to make this woman principal over a place she doesn't belong. Absent administration this school is minimum 4 stars all the way.

The administration at this school has nothing better to do than report false allegations about parents who aren't friends of friends. If they are concerned about a student, they would rather call social services and pull little kids into the principle's office; asking them questions which have nothing to do with their health and well being. A bunch of busy body old hags with nothing better to do. How about talking with the parents? Novel concept I suppose.

This is an okay school. 5th grade is SUPER fun, but there aren't really clubs. 6th grade does have things like band or chorus, but it's not a grade you want to be in. 7th and 8th grade are both cool. I like how you get P.E. everyday and you can take certain classes, like woodshop or keyboarding. The library barely has books, lunch ladies are mean, some teachers yell at you. On the bottom line; Don't go into the 6th grade, just don't...
