I was very pleased with Jackson Middle School. The teachers are attentive and the test scores are very good.

Poor continuity for students. Lack of involvement by administrators. Lack of an art program in a supposedly artful learning school. Cronyism among principal and teachers. This school teaches children to dislike learning. Avoid it if possible.
