Students have ids they have to take care of we didn’t even do this when I went to school. They are getting detention for ids and tardys and teachers are disrespectful they told my kid he was acting like a kindergarten because he didn’t do something the teachers accused him of.

For me honestly going to Fulton Jr. High was amazing and they do have great social and emotional support. I just think it could be better. Like you can’t really help a kid and talk to someone in 5-10min you need more time. An example is that I would be saying something 7 minutes in they will be like hey someone else is here so I’ll talk to you later. And for me I’m not a person who is good with their emotions. So it’s like well I really can’t talk later. But again I love Fulton Jr. High. And I’m happy I didn’t go to any other school. It was an absolute amazing experience. And I wouldn’t ask for it to be any other way. That staff members are so nice and caring. And they will put a smile on your face any day.

I have a 7th grade student at Fulton who transferred this year from Carriel because we moved this summer. My daughter got in trouble for defending herself against a girl who pushed her and chased her around the gym. As far as I know there were no consequences for the other child, but the school can't discuss that. Now my daughter has to fear going to school and worry about getting in trouble if she defends herself because a teacher waits too long to intervene.

This is an amazing school, especially now that eletronics are able to be used in certain classes. I attend band and it is really fun, although im the only French Horn in seventh grade. Seventh grade has been fun so far and will hopefully be more fun as it goes on.

I am a sixth-grader attending Fulton Jr. High. I like this school and its teachers. I am disappointed about there not being math or spelling contest and wished there would be because I have a thirst for knowledge and I am not receiving the things I thought there would be at this school. In other terms this school has many extra-curricular activities but many things that were free such as choir and band has now been changed to $50 each semester. Many other things are well such as their good and staff! there are many activities to name a few POMS, cheerleading, girls and boys basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, and many more. Hope you learned more about this school by reading my review! Thank you!

I am an 8th grade student attending Fulton Jr. High. My school has gone through a few changes this year. All extra-curricular fees are raised and we have lost our electives. However, the our high school's district has been ever so kind to have set up a before school program for Band and Chorus. Also, a high school Drama teacher organizes productions. Other programs that we have include Scholar Bowl, Model UN, FCA, and Art Club. Our sports include bowling, wrestling, baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, cross country, golf, and a few others. Our teachers and staff are beyond amazing. A few have been teaching longer than ten years! Our school security is beyond compare, too. Fulton provides a positive learning environment with friendly competition with the across-town rival, Carriel Jr. High. I would recommend this school to anyone. I should know, this is my third year at Fulton, and ninth in District 90. We aren't perfect, but O'Fallon provides one of the Midwest's best school programs.

I am a seventh grader who attends Fulton Junior High. This school is going through a problem with the district, all after school activities have been cut, elective hours have been cut, and the sport programs have been cut. This means that tech, art, band, chorus, study hall have been cut as well alot of the sports and clubs. Another bad thing is the teachers. Some of the teachers are really strict while others are really fun and superb at teaching. So attending this school is a role of the dice if you want a good teacher or a mean teacher. A great thing about attending Fulton is that once you get past the ninth grade you get to attend O'Fallon Township High School. The cuts, by the way, only effect the junior high schools. Another great thing is that they have advanced literature and skills, and Honors (for 7th and 8th grade only) and advanced math. Overall it is an okay school but not the best if you are not an independent person.

Might I alao say, with the new school built, there is no overcrowding. The other school I am sure is semi-good. But NO ONE can but FJHS. There was also reports of rasicm. (at carriel) But I have no comment on that.
