Jordan Middle School

If you are relocating and have options, choose another school. The academics are sub-par at best, the teacher's are ill equipped to handle their student's needs, and the student's are the poster children for conflict with no resolution in sight. We started our child here in December and every day since has been filled with constant verbal assaults and when our child was physically assaulted, we had to threaten to sue (which I hated because I'm not a sue happy person) every single person involved to get admin to pay attention and take action. I also had to threaten to go to social media for the school to take down posters of Hitler that read as 'inspirational' because they had no idea how to provide context. One admin insisted that the hall was filled with "great leaders including Martin Luther King Jr." while the Principal said the hall was a timeline to avoid history's mistakes....if the adults aren't on the same page then it's safe to say they are missing the mark at teaching an actual lesson to their students. I will say, when I involved the guidance counselor recently to help my child she was on the incident within 5 minutes, provided coping tools, and helped him move on with the situation he was in so I definitely appreciate her effort. Everyone else is in survival mode and it does not provide an optimal learning environment. If you have no other choice like us, good luck and stick up for your children and yourselves. It's the only way that you are going to get them through here.

I live less than 2 blocks from Jordan, but drive 30 min to bring my student to another school simply to keep her out of this school.

Jordan Middle School has a strong academic program and hosts many extra curricular events. The teachers and coaches are easy to reach by email and the administrators are very approachable. The Principal cares about the students and she listens to everyone. I like this school because they work with students to improve their behaviors and they believe all students can be successful!
