Both of my children enjoy attending James M Brown. They are doing well and are learning so much. We have had a couple of minor issues in the past. Both times the matter was handled with professionalism and courtesy by the JMB staff. We couldn't be more pleased.

Be prepared for condescendsion from administration and stonewalling at every turn. I am an alum of this school and it had some problems then, but I credit it heavily for my readiness for college and can easily point out many times it has served me well even at this stage in life. I am gobsmacked to see how thoroughly horrible it is now and can not expect the same advantages for my child. If you or your child has needs, expect to be mistreated and not even given reasonable accomadations for success. If you are an upper-middle class family with an average-to-above average academically performing child, you'll be fine. If you are a member of cerain social groups or churches, you too, should fare well. Best of luck to the select few for whom this school caters, though, they won't really need it.I have had two children attend this school; unfortunately, the remainder will need to be home schooled.

My daughter attends this school. There are both good teachers and bad teachers. The school treats teachers and district employees children different than they do other students. These kids get special privedges and win all the awards get the spots on the sports team and they arealways the team managers etc etc These kids think they are elite because the parents set it up this way. All parents are not included. Only certain ones. All the parents talk about it but there isn't much you can do in a small town. Try Clemson schools. Not as bad for sure.
