Jackson Middle School

Love this middle school! Awesome leadership and teachers. My daughter is a young 7th grader and has thrived at Jackson. She has connected with some nice friends and enjoys school. They encourage interactive learning which keeps my daughter engaged. Good communication here from the principal and his staff of educators. The observatory is incredible.

I went & am still going here. It's like many schools, with its good & bad teachers. Likewise with the students. But there are many possibilities you can choose from. They have an observatory for astronomy advanced tech for coding, many social activities & clubs, & more. You're also most likely going to champlin high school after here, which is good. All around, it's a nice area & prepares you for high school & college. A good place.

This school is literally the worst. Except for some things. Mais c'est très mauvais. I would've given it 0 stars sjksjskjksjjk.

Nice atmosphere. It has a a lot of great educators and awesome after school programs. There tends to be a fight or two every 2-3 months. It also has a great music program. The school doesn't have that much lockdown or fire drills, which is required by law, the school has only had 3 fire drills, 2 containment, and 1 lockdown drill so far in the 2017-18 scho year. A lot of the parts in the portables are either damaged of broken. The building itself has a lot of dirty sections, like the corners or front of the classroom, small hallways, bit of passing time, and the gyms are old and just look sad. A lot of the lockers are missing a lock. Lockers are kind of dirty, some are in horrible condition when the lock doesn't work or there's gum on the top or bottom if the lockers. Bathrooms are clean, surprised because usually .middle school bathrooms are dirty and are filled with smoke. I will give 5 stars if the district does the cleaning and construction on some parts of the school early because the building itself is dirty.

After finishing two years in Jackson, I believe it is a school which will benefit anyone who goes here. Harassment is generally kept to a minimum, and there are groups of people for any person to join. Whether if you're a basketball freak or someone who spends all their time being a bookworm, you'll find others to connect with. Community aside, the atmosphere itself was always enjoyable as well. Teachers are all average or above average, which means there are only a few who may be severely disliked. Thankfully, they are typically out of the ordinary, which means the majority of teachers are respectable people who properly commit to their job. If you're a student or parent, you will probably find a teacher or two that will be your favorite(s). Personally, many people (along with me) enjoyed Mrs.Noble who teaches Advanced English in 8th grade. If you end up having her, then you'll enjoy the hour with her. While the school wasn't necessarily a challenge for me (not to brag), it was clear that they didn't tolerate laziness. I rarely did my math homework when I took Geometry, and I was criticized for doing so. Will I change? I'm not sure, but their advice would probably help someone who is/will be in a much stickier situation. I'll probably go back to Jackson to volunteer. After moving from a terrible charter school and being a rather strange fellow in seventh grade (not that I'm any more normal), it feels satisfying to actually enjoy school and the people around you.
