JFCES has been wonderful for my family. We are going on our 6th year at the school. Lots of parent involvement. Most teachers have been good. My daughters 4th grade teacher was amazing and helped her so much when she was a bit behind. She helped us get a 504 plan to support her needs. Admin is pretty good as well. PTO is great and there is a great community feel here. We will be very sad when my daughter moves on to middle school next year.

The school over all is a good school, they are great when it comes to having a problem with another student, doing as much as they can to help. They never had a problem switching classes even close to the end of the school year, they provided me with the right teachers and education.

I have/had three children who attend/ed. The oldest moved to private after a year, and what a drastic and amazing difference that made. The other two wanted to stay at JHS because of their friends and now we are regretting that decision. The school is failing them. If you want your kids to fall in between the cracks and fail, this is the right place. If you want your child to learn, grow, and feel successful, homeschool or private is the way to go. They get 4 minutes between periods to get to their next class in overcrowded hallways, need passes if they are 10 seconds late, unable to use restrooms during period change, and many of the teachers don't allow bathroom breaks. School lunch is not good and they only get 20 minutes for lunch break. There is one standout teacher but the rest of them don't seem to care about the kids and don't seem very happy working there.
