4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think bullying was the worst problem that happened during my time at JWMS. The adult authorities at the school had a difficult time understanding situations and that often made it worse. I'm also not stating that it was just the kids at the school who would bully but it was also teachers. I remember my 8th grade science teacher would verbally bully girls and pick on them, and it was always girls he was picking on. I was one of them. It didn't help that I had a counselor who couldn't care less if one of there students just jumped off a bridge. They could care less of there students well being, and the same goes with the principles. I honestly would recommend going to a different school, I mean unless you want your child to become depressed.Other Review8y ago - Valley Regional High School
