Jackson Middle School

This has been a horrible experience. All my sons have been bullied and embarrassed, their grades have dropped because of it, yet when i contact staff they do nothing about it. The teachers also refused to help me with the situation. I'm done with this school.

I am so very pleased with Jackson. We were seriously considering private schooling for our children but we are glad we didn't go that way. The teachers and staff are terrific and both my children have received excellent educations there

We are moving to Lombard just to get out of this school. The bus situation is out of control. I sent an email two weeks ago to the principal and still have not heard back. My 7th grader fell from being a top honor roll student to horrible grades and not one teacher contacted us. It's been an extremly frustrating year especially since last year we had no problems.

I recently transfered my child from a private school to Jackson. The teachers and school personnel have been nothing but great. My daughter has adjusted well to her new environment and loves all the acitivities that are now available to her. She is in all advanced classes and gets along well with her peers. I have no doubt that she is being prepped correctly for high school. After trying private school for 7 years, I wished I had made the switch sooner.

I am very happy with Jackson. My older child is in advanced classes and is being prepped very well for high school. Almost all the teachers are very encouraging and make themselves available to the students. My kids are very happy here. Better than I expected. The principal and the rest of the staff are wonderful and approachable too.

Jackson Middle school has a great staff. All the teachers that we have encountered are very caring and out to see each student advance!

Teachers and counselors are very interested in their students. Extra Curricular activities have something for everyone. Music program is outstanding! Sports programs are limited.
