John Adams Middle School

When i took my son to be enrolled in 7th grade the mexican lady in the counselors office was yhe rudest person i have ever dealt with,she basically refused to help my son get enrolled.my son was out of school for over a month.This year my son has started acting up and their principal basicly is ready to kick him out of school. I was shocked when i had a conference with him. He is not a good principal at all. I expected more intetest in him trying to help my son. Guess not..

This is the worst school my kids ever been to. I see why the school has rating at 4. The teachers put the kids out of class for no reason. I've had a principal lie to me in my face and i caught him right in the lie. So if the principal lies all the teachers lie. The really don't care about those kids, they are there just to get there checks. The school district is behind. So what that tell you. Adams Middle School in Grand Prairie is not a good school.

Staff is rude (not all but the majority) and very unprofessional! After school, kids are hanging around the school, crusing loud and being very disrespectful! Noone is there to tell these kids to go home! they are just hanging out...well after 5:00 pm! There is a coach (I guess that's what you would call him) that curses out the kids and demeanors them.... I would LOVE for him to say these things that he says to the kids to me........I've complained to the Asst Prinicpal who has done absolutely nothing!!! He continues to curse the young men out and name call them... Names that are VERY VERY inappropriate... He is suppose to be a leader!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am taking this matter much higer since the Asst Principal thinks its not a serious matter. The cheerleaders don't cheer at games... the band doesn't play at games... there are no activities for the kids... the parents have no type of relationship w/the staff.... come on... it's about the kids!!!! Teaching is not a job... it's a way of love and life!!!!!!!!!

My experience with Adams has been poor at best. My daughter has reported that students often fight and get shoved around the halls. She witnessed a friend getting punched in the face during an AP class, and other friends have been shoved against lockers. Quite frankly I am scared to drop her off some days. The administration lacks strong leadership and the princi"pal" is more interested in friending the children than in controlling the school. I can't wait to get my daughter out of this school.
