We are new to the area. My son came from a school with "10" rating. This school was all about work, discipline, and more work. Save that for the adult workforce. My child would say daily "I have school." Now he loves school. There is the right balance of learning, community involvement, and personal development. He never wants to go back to the elementary school where he spent his last 5 years.

I’m a senior in south this year so I’m so happy to graduate from high school and into college. I going to miss everybody there

My daughter is in 1st grade now. As a parent whose native language is not English, I am very appreciating what teachers did for my daughter, especially, Ms. Glenn-Helmer, Ms. Daunhauer. Teacher send email to us to let parents know what our kids learned in school. Also, teacher tell us how to help our kids to review and learned at home. The teacher help my daughter choose her reading book according to her reading level. Teachers encourage my daughter to her talent in classroom. Teachers in Rogers are knowledgeable, responsible, and careful. My daughter is very enjoy her school time.

School does not provide much hgomework other than math. Being a student here, I understand that some kids want less homework but in no way shape or form does the school prepare you for the workload you will have in highschool. Teachers are decent, some use the same repetitive way of teaching which is: talk, assign a worksheet, have the students do the work for the rest of the period. The types of kids at are school are a somewhat decent bunch of people. This year there have been a lot more kids that have done drugs or don't give a single care about their classes and treat it as a daycare. The leadership of the administrative staff was eh. One of the counselors I talked to handled my situation with a corupt teacher very well. When I was forwarded to one of the assistant principals, they pretty much told me I was the cause of the problem and I had to apologize (not going to explain what happened). The school does effectively accompany the needs of SPED and students with disabilities. Finally, the school handles bullying very well with the appropriate punishment. Overall, I would reccomend JCMS but, please do try to get your student into ALPS as there will be almost no homework if you enroll your child as a regular student.

This school is now called The Academy of Science and Entrepreneurship. This is my daughter's 2nd year there. We love this school. They help individualize the child's education to put them on the right path for their future. Kid's can take college classes their 11th and 12th grade years and get college credits. It's all included in their high school education! They take bullying seriously! I know my child is safe and getting a great education!
