"JN FRIES is a great school...this school is not for everybody. This school is for kids that are really serious about their educations. The teachers are excellent. My daughter plans to attend next year."

"I would just like to say that some of the comments below are not so good.. However this was last year before it became a magnet middle school.. My daughter attends there this year as a 6th grader. It was a tough decision that we struggled with over the summer. But this year has ended up being nothing less than fantastic!!! We love it, and she loves it as well. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and have a very open parent/teacher communication line. The work is challenging for my daughter who was somewhat bored in regular school and the atomsphere with her peers is just great. I would HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone who has a child that enjoys learning and wants to put fourth the effort. We are looking forward to having a rewarding 7th grade year there next year."

"my daughter is a student at this school. she is failing most of her classes and the only way her mother or I find out how she is doing is by progress reports or report cards.Why don't teachers involve the parents with letters or parent teacher conferences? I do remember those. Or ,like i keep being told they don't have time.Well i don't have time to watch my daughters life go down the drain. I need help from the staff if you have time.How can this be solved?We are worried and we do care."

"First of all i would like to say the school is ok. we moved from out of state and i did all my reviews of the school prior to moving here to concord. I will honestly tell you that if i had of had the chance to visit the school before moving here i would of chose to move to another community. The school is the poorest of all schools in the county ; even had a teacher to say so. i never hear from my child teachers and the year is half way over, my child is in the 8th grade and ranks the highest out of all her classmates........i just dont understand why there is no communication here??????but when the snow fell boy did i get two to three calls a day from admin. This will be our last year at JNF and by far we will be moving from this community. yes my daughter was/is unhappy at this school"

"I completed my student teaching at J.N. Fries in May 2009. Going in, I was a little nervous as the school does have the reputation of being the roughest middle school in Cabarrus County. Once I got there and started though, I quickly realized that if J.N. Fries is the roughest middle school in Cabarrus County, then the other schools must be better than heavenly. I enjoyed my experience teaching a wonderful group of 7th graders and working with a caring group of teachers in Ms. Cox, Ms, Koch, Mr. Efird, and Ms. Kundla. I also felt very welcomed by the administrative staff and was overwhelmed with their care and support. While the school does not have the best reputation in Cabarrus County, I think the structure of the school is very well maintained to ensure that behavior problems are minimized so that student learning can and will legitimately take place in the classroom. That's part of the pride not only of J.N. Fries but of all the middle schools in Cabarrus County."
