- Fifth Ward Jr. High School has been the best school around this area for years. It is a smaller school so the teachers are able to spend plenty of time with their students. Most of the teachers at the school have been there for years. My children attend Fifth Ward now and there are teachers that have been at the school since I was in school there. Up until last year there was even a teacher there that was a teacher when my mother went to school there. Best school around.
