John Adams Middle School

My child went there from 7th grade to 8th grade. She absolutely loved it.. She mad so many friends that will last her a lifetime. The teachers were always there for her and had excellent teaching skills. Her grades went up after I put her in public school. The diversity of the school is great as well. The activities and opportunities available to the kids are outstanding. My daughter did not want to leave John Adams and move on to high school. She loved every moment of her middle school experience. I as a parent am happy too!

Very very good. Teachers are very knowledgable and students are disciplined in the right amounts. Very impressed with the overall quality of instruction.

So far I am impressed with the school and the academics. I know North Edison is a very competitive district, so I am waiting to see how much help is given to those falling behind. The student body itself is such that drives one to achieve. It's not an easy school by any means. The teachers are well aware of the student body abilities and seem to teach to the upper crust more. I looke at this as a positive challenge. Let's see!

this school is great i have lived in edison my whole life and all of the edison schools are great but in john adams i have cracked my outer shell and i am much more outgoing, the teachers are always there and you can tell them anything you want and they will be there to help i love this school and i think it challenges you so you can reach the top!

John Adams is a middle of the road school. There is nothing exceptional nor anything seriously lacking. The children are placed in appropriately challenging classes. The teachers follow each child closely as they should. Rules are strictly enforced (no cell phones, preparedness, etc.) Physical education is the only thing lacking, but the trend to reduce physical education is widespread in many schools. School spirit is missing. Few dances and school-wide activities. Everything is constrained by the school budget, so the PTA frequently asks for money from parents. PTA sponsors many extra-curricular activities.

The quality of the teachers is good, although their compassion for children who don't meet the above average mark is a bit to be desired. The school along with other Edison twsh school lacks programs that several other districts offer - like ROTC. This is a great program and would teach children a great deal about responsibility.

I think that the learning program of this school isn't bad, but, I feel that some of the school officials are byist and/or racist. Also, some teachers are very nice but on the other hand, some teachers are cruel and in fair.

This school is amazing! There is a group of disciplined, smart kids. I have a 6th grade child here, and they love it already!

I have a child in John Adams that is a special ed. kid and I guess if you are an average or above average kid the school would be really great. Hey I went there when I was a teenager, but a special child gets the push around and the staff is sometimes difficult to get to help. Well that's only one mother's opinion Good luck.
