I'm a current student at JAF and I most say it is terrible the administration is rude they have their priorities in the wrong place the students do nothing but bully and ridicule each other. Some of the teachers don't even seen like teaching is cut out for them. The staff in the attendance office needs an attitude check. And it's clear that they don't take safe measures when it comes to keeping others safe they keep students for the founding that runs out before they even get to the middle of the year.

I went to to visit the two I.B. schools my daughter applied to. one the great coral Reef, and the other John A ferguson. we went to both open house's let me tell you the student's in coral reef look like they are scared of their lead teacher they would look for her approval to say anything the people in the office you would have more feed back from a rock! John A Ferguson the lead teacher was nice informative had the IB student up and down talking to the parent and student didnt look coached everyone looked happy they love the school.that say's alot about the teachers and school the people in J.A.F office couldn't be nicer.no brainer where my child is going next year!

My son is in 9th grade at JAF and he loves his school. When we have to communicate with a teacher or a counselor, they always are for you to help you. The bad experience that we always have is when we need to call or to go to the front desk office, the personnel are so rude. I think they have to pay more attention to this matter because this causes many negative impressions for the entire school. I hope our daugther loves JAF too.

My daughter and I love JAF and most of the teachers motivate their students. I am impressed with the way the monitor the progress of their students and counselors are their to help alone the way. The only bad experience we have has at the school is with the front office personnel. They definately should get a class on being well mannered.

This school has been great to my daughter. She had such a terrible experience at Archimedean Middle School. Now she actually loves going to school everyday... You can't be happier as a parent.

The school is just average. Good luck trying to get a hold of your child's counselor or anyone in the office for that matter. Very rude office administrators.

I am aproud parent of this school, teachers are so interested in their students, they always respond to my concerns by e-mail, they show that they really care for children with dissabilities. This year is my son's last year and all I wanted to say is thank you for being there for our children, you are doing an excellent job! Jackie Pineres

My daughter attends the 12th grade IB program, and she loves JAF and the extra curricular activities. She is very pleased with her teachers, their devotion and willingness to help. This school has improved tremendously since my child started here. My son is now a freshman at JAF. :)
