I appreciate the safety protocols of this school. I also enjoy the volunteer opportunities for family. My child has benefitted greatly from the schools guidance counselors efforts to provide meaningful, educational, and real life support for mental health. The PE team is fantastic as well. My favorite part of the school has to be the library. They have been working hard in that space to make it comfortable yet conducive to learning. The band, strings, and chorus options are also impressive for a middle school. If you have a child going here, I highly recommend you encourage them to take up an instrument and be in the music classes. I do feel the school system as a whole is still recovering from the pandemic, which is why some children are still struggling to catch up but the teachers seem to understand this, and with the better ratio of students to teacher than bigger schools, teachers are able to give more one on one attention as needed. This school system seems to be always working towards improvement and that alone is enough reason for me to keep my child in until they graduate.

I’m a pretty involved parent due to my flexible work hours so I have a lot of experience going into Honey Run Elementary and North Fork Middle. I have worked through issues with ease as well as witnessed issues unrelated to me or my child be resolved. I feel the staff at this time especially is very competent. Safety is a noticeable priority. I’m very happy with how they handle drop off and pick up. I was so impressed with how Honey Run managed the pandemic. My daughter is now in North Fork and thriving despite the subjects getting much more in depth or difficult. The teachers and staff really care! I’ve also heard great things about Mountain View High and plan to keep my child in the school system here until she graduates.

If it were not for one teacher (also the boys' football coach) and two girls' basketball coaches, I would have given this school 5 STARS. While my daughter was attending SJHS, I had problems with her teacher (think he hated women), but more than that...with one of the girls' coaches (Varsity Coach--no longer there). He was inappropriate with the girls during a basketball camp; I guess because he was a winning coach, they gave him a slap on the wrist, then promoted him to Athletic Director! They valued HIM more than those young girls.
