John Burroughs Middle School, Los Angeles CA

OK, soooo JBMS ROCKS! So y’all, gotta mention a couple of teachers. Mr. Connely, Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Wi, Ms. Abajero (even if you are tough), Mr. Kelly, Ms. Corona, and of course the best, Ms. Ures and Ms. Heath. This is to my sisters, Alessandra Bille and Emily Hsiao. Y’all know what I’m talking bout, rite?

HI IM EMILY, JB is an insane place to go to middle school. It is the easiest to transition with incredibly loving people. It’s nice to make life long friends in a temporary place

A good school but then some teachers can treat you like utter trash. They are very concerned for sexual harassment and bullying right now. The principle is amazing though, no one can say that otherwise

This school is amazing I’m glad I got to this place I get soooo much support from teachers and staff their always there for u no matter what our principal is lit there is no one else that can say their principle is better cuz ours is the #1

LITERALLY THE BEST SCHOOL EVER! Im in 8th grade and this school gives you Nancy opportunities to be who you want! They have leadership for students interested in hosting events and helping through out the school, they have theater which is the best I would just say it's a great school

This school rewards students who don’t try hard. The students who try hard get in trouble and don’t get appreciation.

First of all. I just graduated from this school (8th grade) and i barely learned anything at all at this school but maybe it was because i was in regular. They have magnet and sas but from friends i heard they just give you extra homework. It was a pretty rough year a lot of drama goes on there and mostly all student curse and smoke weed.there was an incident where this girl got arrested for performing sexual acts with another student. I kinda hated my teachers Mr. Sanchez (science) was really nice but i didn't learn much from him Mr. White (English) was a great guy and really cares about his students. Ms. Cruz (Math) Practically everyone hates her she has a lot of attitude and gives out a lot of homework and her tests were difficult so if you were unfotunate enough to get her you gotta study hard. Alot of people didn't graduate cause of her class. Mr. Bohaker (History) Was the best teacher he was super cool even though he gave out a lot of trash pick up his class was definitely entertaining however he just gives a lot of classwork but its easy so its not hard to pass the class and you always need to turn in your portfolio. This school is also really broke and their changing rooms have these mutant roaches that come from the drain which is absolutely disgusting. Most of the kids also know inappropriate things and use profanity so if you send your child here beware of that. Unless they are in magnet or sas maybe the students are different in that program. In 7th grade i was in advanced drama and it was the greatest experience with Ms.heath even though she's kinda rude and scary it was the bond you create in that class which was absolutely amazing. In 8th grade year i had spanish but the problem was we had a bunch of subsitues the school was stupid enough to make a spanish class without a spanish teacher so we had substitutes practically everyday and nobody learned anything the kids who spoke it always corrected to teacher. A similar situation happened in the 7th grade with a mat teacher named Ms. Mac problem was after winter break nobody ever heard from her again and everyone was worried about her after she left we had multiple substitutes one including Mr. Wahington who was an awful math teacher he couldn't teach it to save his life but i passed cause i was a teachers pet. My favorite time at this school was 6th grade my teacher Ms. Schwartz was the best teacher EVER no buts! She was an english and history and art teacher but we mostly told and wrote stories practically everyone was an author in the class and we all shared story telling memories i had gotten a 3.5 diploma! But yeah this school definitely isn't the best but the memories you make are priceless! Like green and Gold 8th grade year was loads of fun everyone got to make signs but that was only for students eligible for graduation all the activities you do in 8th grade you have to eligible to graduate grade wise or else you cannot participate. Another fun thing was the night dance don't listen to what anybody else says the night dance was hella lit and turnt! The people who say its gonna be lame are probably just not eligible. The best part was graduation day everyone looked stunning and a lot of people including me dabbed on stage lol and we got to take final glimpses of each other before we all go to high school so yeah john burroughs curriculum was okay in regular idk about magnet or sas but regular was okay and a half but the memories you make are precious and amazing and great. Hope this helped

My Daughter love this school. Especially cuz. They have this program SRLA SHE IS BEEN RUNNING TWO YEARS ALREADY and The cross Country. She wins two first places. Very proud mom

I am I former 6grader at job and to many kids be cussing and you still don't have teachers 10 weeks into school. I didn't get my teacher till 2 semester. School is really trashy.iPads suck. And kids there have really dirty minds. Also too much drama. I am so glad I'm not gonna be there for 7 or8 th grade

I won't say nun bout this school even if i put 3 stars because i never been to this school i only been here to see my girl but all i know is a nice area

What a nice school in a nice area my kids are privilaged to go here and i wish i got a chance to go here when i was younger, but im happy my children are for sure!

Well I am currently in 8th grade and I think it's a good school. Awesome teachers. Shout out to Mr. Ramsey!

Last semester, the 7th grade science class did not get a permanent teacher until the 12th week of instruction. Dr. Martinez (school principal) sent a letter home on the 12th week to inform the parents. This semester, the same 7th grade science class does not have a permanent teacher. It is approaching the 4th week of instruction, and it had been one sub after another. How will the kids learn? How long before they have a permanent teacher? What are the administrators doing?
