John I. Smith K-8 Center

"This mall is great! Definitely would recommend coming here! They even have a pencil store! The food court is meh there isn’t even outdoor seating. At least there are booths inside. I went to Ms. Clark’s store and it was the best! I bought a table and a chair and I also got a free pencil! Every store has only one employee but they are all very helpful. Jk. They wouldn’t let me take the table home and they wouldn’t deliver either. This mall is huge and even has an elevator but not an escalator. Overall great mall! The sign at the front is messed up because it says k-8 center instead of mall! But I would definitely bring my future kids here!"

"I have been in this school since kindergarten and all the teachers are nice, now im going to middle school even the people in the office are very nice and polite"

"I've been at jis from 6-8 grade. I am also apart of the first set of 8th graders to graduate from jis k-8 center. Jis is the best middle school I ever attended. Teachers are nice, the help you when your struggling, alot of activities to do after school, and you will never be bored in this school. When the weekend come you can't wait until Monday again. But jis has alot of memories and I'm glad I went there. It's been 5 years since I was a 6th grader and now I'm a junior. So parents who may be reading this if your looking for a nice middle school for your child in the doral area jis k-8 center is perfect from your child."

"As a first time kindergarten parent, so far i am dissatisfied with how this school handles things. First, the administrative staff is not the most welcoming. When I first proceeded to register my child for kindergarten, the staff was very unfriendly and would not look up from their desk to see if someone needed help. When they were finally called on, they acted as though they were doing you a favor. This happened all three times that I was there trying to register my 5 year old for kindergarten. They also seem to be very disorganized. When I registered my kid, and brought in all immunizations, they told me everything was complete. This was a month before school commenced. Last week they sent me a notice stating that it was not complete and that I needed to remediate this. I took my kid for a well check up and the doctor and nurse told me that in fact it is complete!!!! SO this school made me waste part of my day from work, take my kid out from school to be told this! I took my kid back again the same day to have her be marked off as "ABSENT". I was already exasperated with the whole deal and then was confronted by a teacher with a bad attitude telling me that I was "NOT SUPPOSE TO PARK BY THE MORGAN LEVY parking lot if you're going to the school!!! You're suppose to go from the front!!!". I felt like telling her "I've already been screwed from the back lady!!!". But instead told her that I didn't know this as It was my first time with a kindergartener in this whole process. She didn't care and proceeded to lecture me telling me "I am only going to allow this once!!!". Oh yes, it doesn't help that they still didn't know when orientation would be TWO WEEKS before school actually started!! Needless to say, I am not too happy right now. The teacher so far seems to be pretty good though."

"Yes. It is A beautiful school and everything but My child is having problems logging into the student portal. I was wondering if you have a business email so I may contact you. My child is in Ms.Fernandez 5th grade class for the 2013-2014 school year"
