John Adams Middle School

Posted November 13, 2009

My son had a great experience at JAMS. The quality of opportunity -- for those who want to reach -- is amazing. The science magnet teachers he had were terrific -- and their curriculum enabled my son to achieve near-perfect scores on the state testing in science! The instrumental music program is beyond compare because of the respectful, talented, and amazing leadership of Ms. Woo and her dedicated staff. Plus, Russ's after-school jazz band is just wonderful! The opportunity for math-oriented students to take geometry is fabulous as well. The only academic concern my son had was that the school didn't offer something more targeted in humanities/english for bright, motivated students... but I understand that's now in process. JAMS has much to offer its motivated students, and both the administration and teachers seemed to do their job very well. My son reached for opportunity, and the school had it for him.

I love my school because its very diverse in its teachings and its students. the teachers are all incredible and the priciple has turned this schol around in the last couple of years. the test scores are high but the moral of the school is even higher.....and thats what counts!

My son was not in this district and I kept in at JAMS for 3 years due to the nurturing,kind support that he received. The Principal,teachers, and liasons do all they can to help a child succeed. Hats off to those who still care about the welfare of a child ! Thank you ! Robin and Priest
