(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have had 2 children go to Jordan Middle scholl and I find the staff to be very rude. Since the budget cuts I am unsure that may have something to do with the disposition of the teachers, however they aren't friendly at all. I definately wouldn't call it a safe school especially being with what happen this year. I emailed the principal after the incident with the teacher that had an affair with the student and her response was " I don't know what your expectation is, but we are doing our best to ensure a safe place. I found that response to lack accountability at all when this your school.
