The staff at Ponder JH are top-notch! My children have had the same 8th grade math teacher and they both have grown tremendously under her instruction. Every staff member that I have interacted with about the academic success of my kids has been caring and involved. My youngest child comes home from school sharing what he is learning in history class each day. He was really nervous about JH, but shared how much he is enjoying school. The principal responds quickly to any questions that I ask about the curriculum or tutoring instruction. Overall, they are a dedicated group of educators that really cares about the kids doing well. Their bus driver, who is also a teacher, even makes it a point to give helpful tips to the kids to be safe.

Ponder Middle is horrible. The principal is a horrible man. He feels nothing for children who get bullied. He does not care for the kids or the parents.

I think the school it self is good but the principal needs to go. I feel it is very unprofessional fir a principal to tell a parent that "the sight of thier child makes his skin crawl". There is a severe bullying problem both verbal and physical that they do nothing about. Please nite this is my opinion and my experience with ponder jr high.
