This school is absolutely awful. It is full of fake people who are awful at their core. Don’t even get me started on the administration either. They are the fakest of all. They are discriminatory and play favorites like you wouldn’t believe. If you want to be surrounded by fake, entitled, and nasty people then this is the place for you. I recommend staying far, far away from this place.

This school is wonderful! The administration, faculty, and staff are communicative, approachable, and balance learning and social development appropriately just as things should be at this age. We are grateful for the experiences and learning opportunities provided at Prairie School.

I’m in my last year at Jerling Junior High, and if I’m going to be honest it sucks here. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. I have had three teachers ignoring my IEP which makes it so I HAVE to sit in the front, one time in 7th grade I couldn’t see the board so I had emailed my teacher about it and the next day, she had said that I couldn’t move because the teacher and the para in there had to see if I was working which just made it worse and I couldn’t get my work done. The next time is when I told my friend I couldn’t see the board, she told the teacher to change my spot because I was in the back and she said that due to the fact that I have glasses I could see perfectly fine, which that was true but I would say I’m a bit of a smaller sized person so I can’t see the board either way. Moving on, the students are very rude to everyone, especially to the “weird kids” or “quiet kids” which I am both. If you were to report something there’s no point because they’ll continue no matter what. In 6th grade this girl was bothering me everyday and I couldn’t focus and my teacher didn’t do anything at all. Also there’s tons of homophobia and transphobia in the school and it makes me feel unsafe to have those kinds of people around me at all. This year hasn’t been well and I feel tired of school, also a teacher of mine helps other students but not me which is extremely unfair to those that need help. The teacher doesn’t teach well and I’m failing the class.

The school is nice but staff is rude and mean they don't teach well i don't recommend it it at all Deans is so strict that they wont let the student breath they put students under so much pressure and blaming them for stuff they don't do while cussing on there teachers Infront of the student my son feels horrible about the school it got him depression and nobody of the staff cared to know every time he goes to the deans they would tell him there not free and i don't really recommend it if you can afford private school then that's great
