John Adams Middle School 1525 31st Street Northwest, Rochester, MN 55901

"This school is fairly ok, the staff (teachers) are very helpful and mostly nice! My only problem with this school is the administration needs to do more! JA was out of control this year and they need to get things sorted out whether it’s getting mrs.mcdonald out of there I don’t know, but it’s not a great learning place when you got kids harassing principals it’s not ok at a school. And the school needs to have no tolerance, they need to crack down on bad behavior because it’s out of control! It’s a great school but hopefully it gets cleaned up, good luck, stick out and you should be fine but don’t get in the bad fighting crowd because that is a bad crowd!"

"I gave it 2 stars for the teachers alone. Otherwise the food is terrible and the staff are kinda mean. Not trying to hate on the school but there is a lot of stuff bad about it and I cannot really recommend it because of that. It is a very negative place outside of the classroom but inside the classroom itbis pretty good. A good teacher in every class and they are pretty smart and good but the principal was mean. And he shaved his head and went bald after getting dreadlocks to copy Mr Naatz 9ne of the cool teacher and then shaved his head. JA needs to fix these problems otherwise a cool place to hang with friends and you usually learn stuff because the teachers are good"

"Soooooo i'm on my last year here and I am so thankful. Okayyy the bathrooms are disgusting. I once walked into a stall on the main floor and period blood was just all over the place, and there is also a bathroom stall on the bottom level that literally cant even close and be locked. The lockers are small and abusive. My locker gave one of my friends a big scar because its so old and sharp. Made me look like i cut myself it scratched me so many times oml. It's very safe to say that i have learned very little there, as the teachers are trash and the staff are even worse. I have to throw shade at Mr. Ohm for a minute because his voice has one tone (Siri has more enthusiasm than him) and he talked more about his son than he does actually teaching math, and he sucks at that as well. Half the people there student and teacher wise are ether mean, fake or just plain suck. The only things i enjoy is lunch, the fights (which are actually pretty good. The whole 8th grade got into a fight last year) and once and a while a good teacher. I honestly only think the good people are Mr. Dwire, Ms. C, Mr. Mcrea, and a few other amazing souls but thats it. Being in this place makes me actually more dumb and a bit suicidal, and i would definitely not recommend sending someone here. My brothers use to call is J- Junior A- Asylum and it truly lives up to that nick name. I have to throw a little shade at Mr. Prebe (I'm sure thats not actually how you spell his name). He is the mOST cancerous, rude, racist and over all baddest person in the whole school and personally that i have met. I cant tell how many times i've literally just looked at him and wanted to punch his ugly self. My bus driver even hates him. I have literally met not one person in that school that likes him that is a student or lower staff member. When you do the littlest things he has to have like a 2 hour conversation about it, which in the end you never win because he's the assistant principal and he has more power than you. Talk about power trip. I award this school 0 points and i hope it some how burns down even if its brick. I'm happy to be leaving this hell. Ja you can kiss my ass.(:"

"I am a student at this school and it was the worst 3 years of my life, and i'm not even done there. There are a few funny teachers, but the chances you'll get one are about 1 to 100. I didn't experience much, bullying, but it was definitely there. This school is also one of the most, if not the most ghetto middle school in Rochester, and the people going there are no better. There are the okay people, but then there are the people who live in the four-plexes and trailer parks, sharing a studio apartment with 12 other families of 16, living of the 50 cent ramen packages from the dollar store, then there are the rich white kids who make me cringe so hard i want to claw my eyes out and light the empty sockets on fire with their binders with straps, their snowpants and Quarry Hill 11 boots, long hair with a terrible dye job that's greasier than the school pizza! And the food is the worst kind of torture than anyone has ever been subjected to! I'm not even sure if you can call it food! The only good thing is that you can count on a pretty entertaining fight almost every year. 0/10"

"My son is going to middle school next year so I went to check out the school for the first time ,coming to John Adams I thought I will talk to principal like we agree but I did not counselor came and show me around the school .Principal did not won’t come and introduced herself at all. Going around the school I do like the school but I don’t like the workers at all . My son is going to receive IEP SERVICES and also teacher are not enable at all to talk to you. So my experience with John Adams was disappointing . People if your kid need special attention this is not the school for you child"
