I used to be a student here and when I tried to get help with my abusive home life, I was told I was exaggerating since I was still getting straight A's. They wouldn't listen to me and allowed the bullying that started up as well. It destroyed my confidence and it made me stop trying to get help. I am now an adult with severe anxiety, depression, psychosis, suicidal, and PTSD. I feel like it could have been preventable or at least not as bad if the teachers or administration had just listened to me. They only cared about how good my grades were and when they started to slip, my parents were called so I got punished. Close Quote

The principle is not approachable and he already has his mind made up before you even talk to him if he has spoken to a teacher. The teachers do not spend the quality time needed with the kids to teach them and prepare them for the next level. I have child that has gone 6-8 here and I refuse to have another child go to this school. They do not respect the children's privacy and they show favoritism to children as well. And God forbid you have an issue and have to talk to the principle he is no help and doesn't even want to listen. They have teachers that are out on surgery and they think its ok to have 82 kids in one math class and 1 teacher. It is BAD and the sad part is there are not many middle schools to choose from in the area. Also if your child is learning slower than others they keep it moving and they are just another statistic. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! Close Quote

Principal Chatham is the best of the best! He is very approachable you can tell by his acts the love he has for his McConnell Family of Staff, Students and parents. JP McConnell Middle School will always feel like family! The high standards, safety and are behind each student supporting their potential in education! Close Quote

I was a former student here, and it was awful. This was the only school I have ever gotten a B in. I have been too three different middle schools, and this is the worst out of all of them. Close Quote
