I am very happy with this school and the teachers my child has. They are very cooperative and interact well with with each other as a team and are very upbeat and enthusiastic with the students. Thanks

I was a teacher at J.N Fries and I was very happy at this school. I think the ideas that the principal introduced of invitational discipline and letting students make choices were great. I also remember my collegue Mr. Nance who sadly passed away some years ago. Mr. Nance was a good example of a humanistic teacher. He was patient, congenial, sympathetic, knew his subject and knew how to deliver it. God bless him.
I was nervous about my daughter attending this school because it has a bad rap as an 'inner-city' school. So I not only stay on top of what's going on there, but I substitute teach there at all 3 grade levels. The teachers have solid lesson plans & communicate well with each other.The principal & asst. principals also communicate clearly. The school staff tries to encourage positive actions & respect. The only problem I've noticed is the students that have NO home-training & need parents that actually ACT LIKE parents. Teachers are forced to waste the precious time we have to educate those who want to learn on sending problems to the office or dealing with their temper tantrums. If a parent can't control their kid at home, what makes you think we can? And why are we forced to expose well-bahved children to that drama?
