It is a great school and is supportive of the Arts!

FOJO has a great staff! The teachers are very involved with each and every student as well as the principal and vice principal. They are up on the latest and greatest as far as education is concerned. The parents and the PTA is awesome! There are many volunteers making it a great school and 100% participation in the PTA. I feel very fortunate that my son attends this school.

This school is a great school and my child enjoys it so much. I am very glad I sent him here instead of to James Island Middle School.

Fort Johnson Middle School's success is owed to the Principal and Asst. Principal. Because they have firm disciplinary proceedures and hire wonderful teachers, the school runs smoothly and is a place where children can really learn. Hats off to Mr. Parler and his staff!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
