I absolutely love Jarrett. They have excellent teachers that really care about kids and teaching. They make it fun and easy to learn. I am new this year at Jarrett, and I couldn't be any happier with how it is going. There are no cliques, and mostly drama-free. It is very diverse and everyone is aways in a positive environment. I couldn't have picked a better school to go to. If you are considering having a child going to Jarrett, I just want to let you know that this is the best middle school in the city.

Quality of academic programs. Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities : My son has been attending this school for a year now and I am very pleased with the teachers and their curriculum. My son has also been pleased with this school and really loves the teachers.

About the tests

The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
