James Wood Middle School

The school has a terrible discipline system. They let kids get away with everything. My advice, keep your children away.

The teachers & principal at JWMS are excellent. They are dedicated to helping the students. My son went there and he loved it.

I've been through three years at this school and they have been the best years ever. The students are very kind to each other and the teachers are great. We have some of the best athletes in the area. I was more than pleased with my stay there. GO BULLDOGS!!

Some of the teachers are not very helpful, and need to understand the children more.

I have gone through three years at JWMS and they have been the three best years of my life. The teachers and guidance councilers are really there to help and everyone acts like one huge family. We have some of the most talented athletes in the area. It's an amazing place and has really helped me academically.

While it looks great on the surface (newly renovated) this school has real communication issues. Teachers, guidance counselors and administration do not return phone calls, emails or notes sent in by the student. Heaven forbid if you have a child that struggles academically, because even the most involved parent cannot get through to have questions answered or issues addressed.
