Julian Middle School

Don’t send your kid to this school it is really bad. The teachers are bad the homework is way too much for my son. the students are mean and unwelcoming for my son being new to percy julian. He cannot sleep at night because he knows he has to go to school in the morning. Lunch is not long enough. You get 20 minutes to eat and 20 minutes to go outside in the cold and you have no option to stay inside for any reason like forgetting your jacket or you havent finished your lunch and several times my son has been told to clean up other students messes because they were at the same table as him and left it there (not next to him of course) and when he refused he got multiple lunch detentions. my son gets his name made fun of it really is a horrible school he has no friends because no kids will even be nice to him. The staff is not helpful at all. He gets bullied every so often for being different and not having a facebook or snapchat or whatever this stupid generation is into. I could go on and on but im gonna end this. DONT SEND YOUR CHILD/​CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL IT IS REALLY HORRIBLE!

Middle school is a miserable time of life. In my day, we called it «junior high» and it lasted two years; today they have extended it to three, starting in 6^th grade.
If you have to endure those confusing, hormone-​addled years somewhere, Julian Middle School is a good place to do it. As a parent, I would volunteer there for lunchtime projects so I could peek into the cafeteria and watch kids in the halls. No food fights, no overt disrespect, no running or rough-​housing, at least that I could see.
The teachers and administration take bullying seriously, and clamp down hard when the kids are brave enough to report it. Academics are fine, though neither kid had a stellar experience in science.
