Lusine: Great school Teachers are nice, well most of them. There are uniforms now most kids pretend to dislike them but its a relieve to wake up in the morning and not spend two hours on what you should wear.
P.S. there are a lot of video cameras in the school so don't pull the fire alarm just for fun they get caught , lol.

Jennifer: James Madison Medical Magnet is a great school. The Magnet office really cares about their kids and althought there are a lot of kids at the school overall, the physical setting makes the magnet section feel like a smaller school. The campus is very green and spread out. Love the computer access to my children's grades and progress!!!
