Joan MacQueen Middle School

Posted July 20, 2009

I was a student at JMMS during the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 school years. I thought the school was okay. I'm a pretty average student that comes from a pretty average middle-class family. The courses that I took were alright. (Very easy homework load in grade-level courses, compared to high school classes.) The dress code was heavily enforced, and sometimes it got a little ridiculous and pointless. The teachers were thorough but really fast paced (which I liked). I enjoyed my time there but I always remembered I wanted to switch schools because the kids that attended JMMS were brutally rude.

I am a parent of a 7th grader at Joan MacQueen middle school. My daughter transferred from a private school to JMMS.At first I was very nervous about the transition. My daughter has always excelled in academics. JMMS has given her more opportunities than a private school did. Her teachers are great, anytime I have had a question they are very helpful . The office staff is wonderful, and Mrs. Firth is outstanding. When I first visited the school I felt welcomed. My daughter has made some really good friends. I like the discipline and dress code. I also like the fact they hold the children accountable for their actions. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen in private schools. We are very happy at JMMS we would never go back to private school.

If you don't mind your child being bullied and having a miserable year, send them to JMMS. Some of their rules are ridiculious and the ones that should be inforced aren't always addressed. Extra curriculm activities are a joke, and you won't find quality education here, yes it's all the states fault, no budget, I have to wonder. I actually have a difficult time getting communication from some of the teachers concerning home work. I have one child doing well and the other is suffering and has been. I removed my child from JMMS only to let them come back to graduate with peers. What a mistake! Unfortuneately, unless we move we do not have a lot of options. We are considering some for our other children. Not my favorite school!
