"As a parent of a 6th grader, we have had a wonderful transition from Elem to Middle School. We feel the administration has an open door policy and the teachers are fully committed to the students providing a safe learning environment. We have been impressed with the teachers going above and beyond for the students, as well as the students being so willing to volunteer at open house nights and other events. (What child wants to be at school when they don't have to be?) We have lived in Manatee County our entire lives and every school has a reputation, so we were skeptical--Middle school is a scary thing to parents. We researched JMS by attending the open houses, SAC/PTO meetings, and meeting with the principals and the overwhelming sense of pride and enthusiasm about the IB education from the staff and students calmed our middle school fears and we are very happy with our decision. Soaring to the top!"

"My child is in 6th grade at Johnson Middle School. I have been extremely impressed with the IB Programme. The teachers and staff are wonderful, they are all willing to go that extra mile for the kids. This school offers so many extras and activities that are not offered in our zoned school. I am very glad we took a chance on Johnson!"

"Louise R Johnson Middle School of International Studies in now 100% school choice and a "B". We are the only middle school in Manatee County that has the International Baccalaureate Programme (MYP). Wakeland Elementary and Southeast High School are our sister schools. The teachers incorporate the 21st Century Learner Profiles into our curriculum. Spanish, French, and Chinese are offered beginning in the 6th grade. We also offer inquiry-based, hands-on learning beyond the classroom. Our teachers go above and beyond for our students."

"Louise R Johnson Middle School is awesome. The teachers and administration do a wonderful job to instill characteristics and leadership skills in the students. My daughter is thriving this year and it is mostly due to the school. She loves her school and everything that she is learning there"
