Teachers are mean and rude to their students, too much bullying and drama with little girls that are clearly not being raised right.

My son has disabilities that were not accommodated by staff. Instead of helping him, they would punish him, make him sit in the hallway or send him to the office. I had multiple calls from the assistant principal who made my son's school career hell at James Madison. It got so bad I pulled my son out and school has been a nightmare for him ever since this school. I would not recommend my worst enemy to bring their kids to this school. Staff and assistant principal were the biggest bullies and they cannot handle kids of color or disabilities

A wonderful school! My son is thriving here. They took a large school and divided it into smaller teams so the teachers and students can get to know each other better. So many extracurriculars and clubs. A great place to go to middle school. Support is there when needed and when a student is doing well, that is encouraged. Very happy parent!

The school and most teachers constantly assign a overload of homework not taking into affect that we have 7 other classes. Most teachers at this school are very rude and expect every kid to learn the same so when teachers are asked questions they often have a snotty remark. Most teachers at this school are very unhappy and make learning experience for the kids boring. If I could give this school a 0 star review I would.

It was terrible. Probanly one of the worst experiences of my life. The students and staff can really affect others in the school in a negative way
