My Son really enjoys JMS. he transfered into the 6th grade there. he has found many new friends, but has found it more academically challenging than his previous school. His grades have improved in spite of this and his teachers are very helpful in getting him into the upper part of his class.

I think this is a great school for children to attend. My child has just moved to Johnsonville Middle School, and tells me he loves it! I think all parents should consider their children to attend Johnsonville Middle School!

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.
