We have a great staff that works together for the benefit of the children. We have the highest attendance rate in our county and our state test scores are among the tops also.

I have to admit when the new principal came a couple of years ago I was shocked....Her outlook on the school was much different than we were used too.....I have to give her credit.., Every child at that school has changed for the better through my eyes.., My kids are being taught way more than I ever imagined....This is an excellent school to send your children to..Especially if you are concerned about their well being as a young adult...

I went to John M from 1995 to 2004. They really provided me with the quality education that I deserved. I made a lot of friends at John M. I played on the basketball team, academic team. I think the new principal there is doing a good job of caring for the school, but I do also think that she is being way to strict. But other than that I think this is a great school to send your kids to. Plus the new gym will hopefully draw more kids to the basketball team. Someday I hope to coach the boys team there in a few years and I hope of turning the team around.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
