I am a parent of a student here for 2023-2024. This school is terrible, if you can have your child attend a different school, I highly suggest it. It seems that a lot of schools in Brevard County receive funding based on how rich the area is (looking at you Viera). Brevard County is the 16th richest county by per capita income in Florida. There is no reason why JMS should be falling apart and having a teacher crisis. Title 1 schools should be given much more resources for student development (behavioral, intervention) as well.This year alone, my child has gone through many teachers, as teachers were reassigned or quit in the middle of the year. My child has gone through three Civics teachers this year alone and two Math teachers. The administration treats the students with contempt and pick on them. Unless they are a favorite student, the rest of them are treated harshly. There is a drug (marijuana/nicotine that I know of) problem here. My child has mentioned many times that people are using drugs in both boys and girls bathrooms, and that girls hide vapes in their bra so they can't be found when they are searched. My child also made friends with another child who introduced my child to marijuana and so now my child has gotten high at the age of 12. Great.Back to the administration - I have tried contacting them to discuss situations my child has been involved in, but they don't return my calls/emails. My child was also given a referral by the bus driver which was not investigated, the bus driver issued the referral based on information a student said to them. So instead of watching the surveillance from the bus camera (you know, FOR PROOF), the bus driver issued a referral based on hearsay from another student. When I tried contacting the transportation dept and the school admin multiple times, the issue wasn't resolved.This school needs a lot of work with regards to classroom management, training for teachers and staff on how to properly interact with middle schoolers with care/mentorship in mind, and upgraded facilities. Many times the bathrooms are closed because students have soiled the bathrooms to the point where it needs to be fully cleaned prior to next use. It's really sad that our students are subjected to this type of environment when they should be mentored and inspired to be better instead of perpetuating the delinquency cycle.Bottom line: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. 2500 character limit has been reached in my review.

I'm a student here at Johnson and I feel safe but, I've had altercations with kids who don't like me, and I have told teachers about it many times, and most of the time they didn't do anything.

The school is cool. I love the star program. I think it's cool for all of the star teachers to have a morning day to help out kids.

There really isn't much good I can say about Johnson Middle School. They have a great music program for a middle school, but besides that, it's just not a great school. The vast majority of teachers don't care, and the principal isn't very involved. Lots of fights happen here, and student discipline isn't enforced well at all. Like the previous review said, unless you're in the STAR program, they really don't care about you. Also, JMS scored relatively low on the FCAT compared to other schools in the area, and they really only seem to be concerned with getting kids out there and sending them to high school, and they don't do a great job of preparing students for the next level. If you are considering moving to the Melbourne area, please don't send your student to JMS. I attended this school several years ago, and I'm glad it's over.

My daughter is in the STAR program at JMS and I cannot conceive of a better education than what she is getting. The teachers in the program are basically very caring and do everything they can to help the kids succeed. They are very timely with their posts on edline - keeping parents in the educational loop. I have been extremely disappointed in the way her elective classes are conducted; EVERYTHING I just said about the STAR program and teachers is the opposite in her elective classes: teachers don't seem to care, kids do next to nothing in these classes, teachers don't stay in contact with parents - regardless of any issues that arise. An example: Office is staff is fine.
