John Adams Middle School

Worst school ever! My daughter attended half of 6th grade because we pulled her out cause of the bullying. She had half of her grade come after her and try to kill her. She is so emotionally damaged she refuses to step into another school so she does home school. The kids forced her to inappropriate words because they knew she has severe anxiety and OCD so she’s vulnerable. The principal wanted her to write an apology note to the whole school and then blamed us for her inappropriate words. Horrible!

My son is loving middle school. He is challenged in his learning, making new friends, and he feels very supported by his teachers. He has really enjoyed orchestra, art, and PE class this year along with the core subjects.

This school is HORRIBLE!!! I have had 3 children go through there and thankfully the last one one went for part of the 6th grade. It is one of the worst schools I have ever seen! I can attest to what the students say about bullying and the staff not caring or being able to control the kids. One of the students punched one of the staff so hard it broke her jaw! Keep your kids away from this school at all costs!!

I am a former student from John Adams. I went there for 7th and 8th grade (2013-2015). I absolutely hated attending this school. When I was in 7th grade a student tried to kill himself by jumping off the north stairwell. The current principal is the same one I had, and she was also my principal when I was in elementary school at gage. The administrative staff are extremely rude and refuse to help students most of the time. I honestly believed they just didn't care about their students, which wouldn't surprise me one bit. I was bullied almost every day I attended that school. There were multiple fist fights between students almost every passing period between classes. I'd get slammed into lockers by students I didn't even know. People would trip me as I was going down the stairs so I'd fall and knock everyone in front of me over as well and I'd get sent to the office like it was my fault. This school is hell on earth. From what I've heard from my friends who have siblings that still go here, the issues are only getting worse as the years progress.

The schools administrative staff is rude and there are way too many fights
