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
Posted by a student on 1/29/2026My son is finishing 7th grade at Jerling in June. He struggled this year, for the first time ever, in 3 subjects.

Posted by a student on 4/14/2025Horrible school. Kids here are so racist and are what they call “ipad kids.” I would never recommend this school to anyone. Parents, you’re better off moving or sending your kids to private school!!!
Posted by a community member on 4/4/2025I am a student who currently goes to Jerling junior high and let's just say my years at this school have been bad. Staff have been treating students at the school horribly and not fairly. They will judge you by your past and by your race of your skin. When you need help or support do not go to staff

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student who has been there since 2017, I’ve seen the ups and downs of the school. The school is great, there were prime years (really good years) and down years(meh), but after the principal who was the best left in 2018, It kinda went downhill. It’s not the education, but the principals. After the principal who left, we had a temporary one, and then to a principal who was there for 2 years, and she wasn’t bad or good, and after she left, it went to the vice principal who was put as principal who was way better. I highly recommend this school and I hope to see you thereStudent Review2y ago - Christian Hills School
