Jupiter Middle School

If you have a choice do not send your child to this school. Forget about student bullying, kids are bullied by their teachers. If they have a disability of ANY Kind or take medications for any reason, the teacher will announce it to the entire class! My child on a daily basis is asked if he "took his meds" upon entering the classroom, then is made fun of by other kids and if he retaliates, HE is punished! I thought the HIPPA law protected people from public acknowledgment of their medical information, but not a JMS!

I hated it. My teachers were great, but bulling was out of control bad. They did absolutely nothing to help me. I am a former student and am happy I'm out of that nut house. That school was so bad I wanted to die. If you or your kid likes it, your officially messed up. I told my teachers what was going on and they didn't care at all. DO NOT GO HERE!!! Sad and painful memories lie ahead if you do.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! You will get a detention for anything and everything you do. I am in precussion in band and got a detention for getting out of my seat to get my drum sticks! I had my ID in my backpack and was taking it out but the bell rang!!! DETENTION!!! I asked my classmate if we had any homework 1 min before the bell rang!!! DETENTION!!! Unless you want a detention for everything you do DONT go here!!!

Obviously, most of the comments posted here were prepared by JMS staff. This is a terrible school that treats students as cattle. It aims to stifle creativity and teaches only what is required to get good FCAT scores. Students are forced to take meaningless electives, and core courses are taught in the most boring and unchallenging manner possible. Any child would probably benefit more from being sent to a day care center every day, than spending their days in this uninspiring and negative setting.

In my experience edline is under utilized by teachers with little or no posting of assignments or upcoming tests. A bit surprising for a school of technology!

It is a school of technology,and happens to have the best band directer,his motto 'Ame high dream big'He has been taking his kids to perform at the New York heritage festival for years now and we walk away with a gold every year,we are all so the only middle school to perform.Mr.Disteto proves every year that with the right kind of encouragement anything is possible.The same is true for all the staff at Jupiter Middle. Thank you

This school is ok but the teachers are inconsistent and give students alot of breaks. Some teachers even teach things that are not in the curriculum. The principal is oblivious to alot of misbehaving students and the teachers badger the students to give the class money.
