Francis W. Jones Magnet Middle School

This has been a great school for my son and he has had some wonderful teachers. The band program is excellent, the music teacher is a very dedicated and puts a lot of time into teaching and motivating the students. He also had a wonderfully dedicated math teacher who email me regularly, letting me know what they were working on.

I am rating this based on when it is a Magnet School which it is not anymore. It was a great magnet school. Now the city changed the Magnet school to one of worse Middle School in the area so that they can bus the students there and increase ratings, funding etc. But Jones Magnet School "was" a great opportunity for my child.

I have been going to this school for 2 years and it has been the best.Jones has good staff ,students,and background.So you don't have to worry about fights or someone bringing drugs into school.Which happened at Spratly.

Best Middle school in Hampton. Bar none. Principal and VP have been very responsive, great PTA officers, some awesome teachers (a few flakes, but still great teachers).

Hello my son has been going to Jones Magnet Middle School going on three years and this is his last. It is an accredited School and the the overall SOL scores are very good. This school uses non-traditional techniques to keep the students young minds attracted to the curriculum. The teachers and Administrators work together with all parents to better educate your child. No matter what the needs are ,the majority of the teachers really pay special attention to your child. Of course as a parent of a diagnosed ADHD child that special considerations come in handy. I highly recommend this school as a school of choice for your child or any other accredited magnet school.
