Jones is a small school with too many students. Class sizes in the upper 20's stuffed in rooms too small to hold them. To make matters harder on the teachers they bus in behavior problems from other districts. The teacher are good but there is only so much they can do. We moved here specifically for the school and are very disappointed. Close Quote
