This school could've had a three, but no. The descision to add RAM is one of the worst descisions D45 has ever made. The truth is, when kids are coming in in the morning advisory was nice for them. It was a time to relax and catch up on work, but now RAM functions as a tenth period essentially (especially on Wednesdays, where it's extended to an appalling 45+ minutes) Nine periods is already enough, but ten? RAM teaches about emotions but the class isn't helping anyone, whether the teachers think it is, it isn't. The average student opinion is RAM is stupid and wasting their time. I understand trying to help but in all honesty, it feels incredibly performative when you're trying to improve our mental health but we aren't even allowed to relax in the morning anymore. The removal of homeroom hit hard too, it might've only been ten moments but it was a time to chill in our nine period schedule. But now it's gone. There's no positive to homeroom being gone either, it was one of the best parts of my 6th/7th experience.The eight grade bathroom is also disgusting. No ventilation, and the toilets are always clogged. I will give JMS a bit of credit though, since they have products for woman.Another good thing about JMS is it's very lgbtq+ friendly and pretty diverse! The teachers are nice for the most part. I also like the change that A-'s are weighted the same as A+'s.So, it's not awful- we've had some good changes this year but the bad ones outweight the good ones. I hope JMS can bring back advisory and homeroom.

We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a warm, supportive school community. Both of our daughters have absolutely thrived here, and a big part of that is due to the outstanding teachers they’ve had. Each one has shown such dedication, patience, and genuine care—not only for our girls’ academic progress but also for their personal growth.Our family feels truly connected to the school. It’s clear that the staff is committed to creating a positive and nurturing environment for every student. Because of the encouragement and guidance from their teachers, both of our daughters have grown in confidence and ability, and perhaps most telling of all—they love going to school every day.We also have the utmost trust in the staff and deeply appreciate the principal, whose kindness and leadership set a wonderful tone for the entire school. It’s a blessing to be part of a place that feels like an extension of our family.

Tenemos una agradable experiencia en el colegio, nuestro hijo se encuentra muy contento y le gusta ir a clases cada día. Estamos muy agradecidos con los docentes y los Directores por todo lo que hacen por los alumnos. Soy mamá de alumno de 9°
