Very happy with the quality of the education for this school. We moved from the Bay Area, and have been impressed by the the amount of school activities available as well.

This place is a terrible place to learn and the school is dirty and trashed up.

This school is very amazing, I always feel so welcome there and I enjoy going there, I enjoyed it so much that when this Covid-19 pandemic started and we started EDL and IVA, I was so sad that I couldn't be there (this is a woa moment for me because I usually hate going to school). All in all, the staff are amazing, most of the students are kind and accepted (maybe a bit annoying hehe) and the curriculum and ways of teaching are amazing. 9/10, totally recommend (:

This school is amazing, and I feel that the campus is beautiful and welcoming. I would give my experience at this school a 9/10.

I am a student about to graduate from JTMS and i have to say I am beyond satisfied. All six of my teachers were exceptional with helping me, guiding me, and getting me through my two years here. Mr. Bowman is the most involved principal ever and he is just the right guy for Jr. High students.

My daughter is about to graduate from JTMS and I just wanted to write a review about our experience. Mr. Bowman is a great principal who is hands on with his kids. Not unusual to see him directing traffic in the mornings or playing football at lunch with the kids. He genuinely cares about them and makes everyone feel welcome. The teachers my daughter had were all fantastic! Young, energetic and approachable. I also love all the activities they have for kids to get involved in such as lunch time cooking competitions, clubs, DC trip, family nights just to name a few. My daughter never saw bullying and always says she felt pretty safe. With the new housing being built behind the school the population of the school has risen and my daughter says the hallways are really crowded between classes, but what school in Irvine isn't over capacity? Loved the 9 o'clock late start days (tues & weds) as my daughter and I got a chance to hang out and not start our day in a mad rush out the door. Thank you JTMS for making my daughters jr high experience one she won't ever forget. We will miss you!

This was the first year it was opened and the staff plus principal did an amazing job. Everyone was wonderful and parents were so involved. This was my daughter's first year in public school and I was worried about the crowds but Mr Bowman the principal navigated it very efficiently.
