As a parent who had many kids go through this school I was not impressed. With any school there are some really excellent teachers, and some that should not be in any social setting, much less put in a position to "teach" kids. The gym is dangerous and we have had accidents almost every year. Admin team changed in the past few years and my few interactions have been pretty neutral. The PTO is active and good at supporting the school's needs. The office staff is overall friendly and helpful. My kids have never had any issue getting into the classes they want to take. There seems to be fights a lot we get notifications more from Simpson than we do from the high school! One of the APs caused an incident with my son and we will be withdrawing him from the school since it was handled so poorly. We hope no other family ever has to deal with him.

I love this school and it is amazing. This school has taught me a lot of things this year and I hope many more for the next.

I have had the pleasure of knowing so many of the fabulous staff & teachers that work to make JL Simpson such a fantastic school for over 20 years! My daughter is now currently a 6 grader and absolutely loves it…which started from early engagement with the school while she was in 5th grade! I can’t say enough positive things about JL Simpson Middle School…it’s a wonderful place for our children!

There are many caring and very effective teachers at this school. The administration is where parents will see issues. Decisions are made haphazardly and the communication and responses to emails/phone calls are slow or non-existent.

JLSMS is a wonderful school! The principal is supportive, accessible and the students love him. The teachers are fabulous! My children's teachers are dedicated and always happy to help outside of class if needed. JLSMS and its staff have risen to the occasion and are tackling distance and hybrid learning during this crazy school year. Did I say that my kids LOVE their teachers?!

Mediocre at best. It’s exactly what I thought a public middle school would be, nothing more nothing less.

The Administration is stellar at this school. My son is in 7th grade there and is having a very positive experience. There have been hiccups and not everyone is an "A" teacher/staff member but this school does a better job than most of creating a nurturing environment.
