I’m a student the janitors awesome the teacher awesome Ms.McCarty is the best teacher hands down the students super friendly even tho it’s small it’s a good school

The administration at this school does not support its teachers and the student behavior issues they experience in the classrooms. Teachers are blamed and treated poorly by the administration who refuses to acknowledge that teachers are doing their best but can’t teach and deal with constant disruptive issues at the same time.

Horrible staff today I went to 3rd grade ceremony in the cafeteria meet up with formal student who was siblings with the 3 grader. The formal student was with me the whole ceremony next to my side watching we were whispering while all the other parents where also chatting talking about her ceremony tomorrow. One of your staff member comes up to my child and tells them rudely to stop talking mean while she was next to me doing nothing wrong than whispering a child can’t talk no more or what.(If you don’t like your teaching job why even bother to go)This teacher had no right to come up to my child and tell her anything especially in a rude way! My child did not even wanted to continue talking.The whole ceremony she keep staring at my child this women wasn’t even a formal teacher of my child and never has been this past years.

I currently go here (I’m moving to 8th grade) and this school isn’t too bad. Thankfully, most of my teachers weren’t the bad ones, but even the good ones would yell at us because some kids would get too loud. Back in 6th grade most of the boys would make inappropriate noises and jokes, but in 7th it wasn’t as bad, although there was an occasional dirty joke. There’s a lot of fights and drama here. One time, two boys got in a fight and one of them ended up scratching the other boy with his keys, and he came back with a broken wrist (probably from the fight), and a pretty bad scar on his face. But I guess as long as you don’t get on someones bad side the bullying isn’t as bad. I have a sibling who went here some time ago and they had terrible experience, especially with bullying, but for me it hasn’t been as bad. The teachers usually don’t really give any homework, and the only homework I’ve ever gotten was just unfinished schoolwork. Also, by 8th period the kids start acting crazy. It gets a lot more loud than usual, and sometimes people run in the halls which leads to them bumping into some of the kids in the halls. And sometimes people even start screaming. Overall, the education is okay, and most of the teachers are kind (although some are kinda mean/rude). I can’t really speak on the discipline but I guess it’s somewhat fair. The safety and security isn’t the worst, and the family engagement is kinda good. I don’t know much about the special education though, other than the class they have for dyslexic people that i only know about because of my best friend who has dyslexia.

Just finished my last year at jackson, i overall liked the experience there wasn’t a ton of homework that flooded your life and most of the teachers I had were kind and supportive and the coaches were always fun to be around the teachers always tried to focus on improving the education of us and the principals while harsh at times always cared for us I will say however the band teacher is the worst teacher in that school I always felt like she had it out for me when I never did anything to her overall I would recommended this school to parents looking for a middle school for their children.

In my experience the Administration doesn't listen to any of the parents concerns or complaints. They deflict on all issues any chance they get and will not take responsibility for their lack of guidance and the persistent bullying that happens at the school.Students are getting pushed down and beaten quite often with little to nothing being done. If a child is diagnosed with a disability they are denied help and blames the student for all issues. If you speak with The special Ed Principal once and copy the head Principal she will lye and say they seen and spoke with you several times. If you question her then she will change her story again. The staff generally will distorte what you say to try and justify their behavior. The head Principal is non existant. She will not email you back or attend any student meetings. There are so many students that don't feel safe and don’t trust the staff. The school needs to care more about the safety of the students and less about the students that beat and torture students.

All I can say as a parent is keep your child and yourself out of this school and environment if you don't want your child to exposure drugs and drug sellers. Please please listen my advice .

it is good school super goood s

We have been a part of the Watson family since our son started the magnet program in Kindergarten. He’s about to begin 5th grade and is learning things many of his peers at other schools are not learning yet. The majority of the teachers are very helpful and loving towards the children and are always getting parents involved. The only issues we have had are:A little teacher discipline issue that was resolved by the principalandThe no younger siblings at lunch visits Other than that we feel the school has been a great space for our son and are so thankful to know our daughter will be in such good hands when she starts kindergarten.

It's a little bit to strict with the tardiness giving you a suspension for just 1 and instant consent to search if you are but other then that I guess its pretty cool some of the teachers have nasty attitudes but other are really nice and you can tell the students enjoy being in there class compared to some
