James Madison Middle School

I have read the reviews here and the low numbers seem to come from those who are not educated or students who probably don't know any better. I am a parent here and a teacher in another district. Everyone I speak to there is helpful and it seems like the teachers care about the students. I saw a remark about amount of homework. HOMEWORK is not a baby sitter. Homework should only take about an hour at most. Homework should only reinforce the learned skills. So far a very good school.

I'm a former student of this school and I didn't really like it, I mean the school was somewhat fun, and there were a lot of memories, but it wasn't a trip to Disneyland either. The kids were mean, the staff wasn't very friendly, and we weren't really learning anything productively. A bit below average.

The children are learning nothing from this school. They don't give enough homework to the students. Madison Middle School needs improvement in all areas, badly.. It shows in the rate. They earned their 3 help them

I was a former student at this school and about the dangers of this school for me there were none. And the teachers are great.

The Magnet Program is great because it prepares students for a Magnet HS program which, eventually, prepares students for college and higher educaitonal achievements.

This school is not so great in the regular program, but I have come to find that the Cadet Corps and Magnet program are a great opportunity for our children and will definatley help them for their future life.
