These two students are also citizens in two different countries other than the United States of America and they did not get nominated for most likely to travel the world they also did not feature a section specifically for people who are not citizens of this country. the yearbook club is very closed minded when it came to international students they only featured students who have traveled countries for vacation over summer break but there were almost little to none students who actually got featured in the yearbook who are citizens of multiple countries. I personally find it a bit wrong to not feature these people and take the time to know abt their special stories. The students bought a yearbook only to not be featured at all in the sections that they were almost guaranteed to win. another thing that I find wrong about the school, is specific teachers way of teaching. I also know of many students that have complained about a specific teachers way of teaching, as he or she mainly talked them through showing a sheet of notes. However, nobody took action in the complaints and as a result of this lots of students failed this class. I think this should be an example that some teaching at the school should be more hands-on than it is at the moment.

My teachers were Mr. Robison, Mr. Keisling, Mrs. Chew-Smyth, and Mrs. Ellis. These teachers were genuinely the most welcoming and loving teachers I've ever had, they made my seventh grade year better than everybody said it would be. I was told it would be the worst year of my life, but the teachers, the students, the inclusivity and diversity and welcoming every where made me feel so happy. I took advantage of the school and judged every part that I didn't like about it, and though it wasn't perfect, it was home. In my new school, there are no welcome signs anywhere, there's no personal connections with the teachers to the students, there's no happiness and it feels like just a business environment. I miss coming to Spring View every day and feeling welcomed. This isn't the perfect ideal school, but it is such an amazing environment, I so recommend it. Thank you Spring View for helping me.

The big things that have been positive are how organized staff was and how supportive they were to getting us in. They were VERY proactive. They also were very responsive to my requests to speak about my son for next year's special ed. My 7th grader had no major issues while transitioning in the spring as a new student. We had to remove her from a toxic situation at Rocklin Academy Gateway (my 3rd kid removed from that school). The parking situation, while it's not monitored well (always a concern for middle schoolers and bullies) the routes have been ok. Someone did hit my car, but honestly that's very common at schools as parents just don't know how to be patient anymore and follow rules. Not good..but not as nightmarish as other schools like RAG and some bay area schools. The library is great and the facilities are much cleaner than the schools my kids went to including a new school in the bay area. The food is exceptional, but it would be nice for some reform to include on meat and dairy options considering our extreme climate situation and animal agriculture as well as kids with dairy allergies. For 2024 there will be a new principal and vice principal with a good reputation, so let's see if that improves anything. The biggest issue right now at the school is communication, or lack of communication and updating the website. They also removed girls softball which is a bummer but not a deal breaker. The school also doesn't have soccer. Their electives are great. I suggest you take a look at the website for more on that.

I have mixed thoughts about John Adams. The primary side is quite different from the secondary…read more It's fantastic to have a school where the flag means something and our young children can learn to have a health and happy respect for it and their country. Flag salute should be mandatory through out our nation and at John Adams it is. Yes there are a few misguided "want to be" activists (over at secondary), who, in all honesty, should just let it go and move on to the regular public school of their choice. The teachers on the primary side are all just the best. Learning and living JAA's 10 core values everyday is one of the very most important things they do along side the "three R's". The best thing you could do is enroll your kids at JAA at the youngest age possible. It is much harder for a middle or high school child to come here and fit in, however, if they had come up through the primary program here first, then there is no culture shock when they move up to the secondary school. Servant leadership is a good philosophy to teach but it probably means something a little different to everyone. At secondary, there is a problem with admin/board leadership. It sometimes seems to be "do as I say and not as I do". They may have an "at will" employment contract with the teaching staff, but it should only be exercised after all other remedies are exhausted. This year has been very troubling because of abuse (in my opinion) of the "at will" employment contract by both teachers and admin. I believe stability is very important to the education process. My daughter was very destabilized when one of her favorite teachers, without warning, announced he was leaving. Then, another favorite teacher was suddenly removed from his job. She and her class mates have had to endure multiple changes to teaching staff this year making it near impossible for the students to get settled into their routine. Hopefully JAA admin and board will come to terms with this self created and self destructive problem and act to correct it in the coming years. There absolutely is something to be said about the Mormon influence on this campus. It does exist. Since most of the board is Mormon, this should come as little surprise. It's not that it's a bad thing as this school would not exist were in not for these very same folks. In fact most of what goes on at JAA is a good thing. However there have been some incidents where Mormon students caused disruption in class, then ganged up on teaching staff to get them fired, bragging about it later on. This is very troubling. And when this author posted a comment on the parents communication website about what happened, it was immediately removed. When I requested the reason why my post had been censored, I received no response. I asked for my post to be returned to me, I received no response or reply. I would escalate this issue but for concern of reprisal toward my daughter. The admin/board of JAA clearly does not like to be challenged in any way. And I find that very troubling. None of this is a deal breaker for me though. My daughter for the most part loves the atmosphere here. She loves her teachers and friends she's made here and she will finish high school here. My reason for shinning light on these things is not to discourage enrollment. I still believe this is a fine school and that most all schools should be patterned after this one. No my reason is simply truth. If people know about these things they might ask about them when checking out the school for their children, and if they ask, then the school might consider doing things a little better. Bottom line is, I would like to see the school "police" itself better and continually be looking for ways to improve and/or right any wrongs they are responsible for. All in all, JAA is a great school, especially if you are looking to get your young student off to a great start!

Subject: Urgent Traffic Safety Concern Regarding John Adams Academy Drop-Off/Pick-Up…read more To the City of Roseville and the appropriate traffic and public safety officials, I am writing to formally raise a serious and ongoing traffic safety concern regarding John Adams Academy in Roseville and the way its parent drop-off and pick-up traffic is being allowed to impact surrounding public roads. This is no longer simply an inconvenience. It has become a significant public safety hazard. I have personally been involved in collisions involving drivers associated with the John Adams Academy traffic, and I continue to encounter extremely dangerous conditions during school drop-off and pick-up. The current traffic situation is particularly dangerous around the entrance from Harding Boulevard into the Sierra Gate Plaza area. During peak school traffic, the line of vehicles backs up onto the public roadway and interferes with normal traffic flow. Drivers are blocking the far-right lane, making it extremely difficult for through traffic to safely pass. At the same time, vehicles attempting to enter the school line are backing up beyond the designated center/"suicide" turn lane, creating additional conflicts for drivers who are simply trying to travel straight through the intersection. This creates a situation where drivers have limited safe options: they cannot reasonably use the right lane to get around the congestion, they cannot safely proceed straight without navigating vehicles that are stopped or attempting to merge, and they are forced into unpredictable lane changes and interactions with vehicles entering and exiting the school line. What is especially frustrating is that this is not an unexpected or isolated problem. John Adams Academy has an established driveline system and staff assigned to manage arrival and dismissal traffic. The Academy's own safety documentation states that its staff and volunteers are responsible for managing the driveline and that its procedures are intended to keep scholars, staff, visitors, and surrounding traffic safe. (John Adams Academy) Yet the traffic continues to spill onto public streets and interfere with people who have absolutely nothing to do with the school. The City of Roseville has an obligation to consider the safety of all road users--not just the families attending John Adams Academy. Residents, commuters, emergency vehicles, pedestrians, and businesses should not have to navigate an unsafe traffic pattern every school day. I am asking the City to take immediate action, including: * Conducting an on-site traffic and safety assessment during actual morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. * Enforcing existing traffic laws regarding blocking lanes and intersections. * Determining whether the current school entrance is appropriate for the volume of traffic it generates. * Requiring John Adams Academy to prevent its parent line from backing up onto public roadways. * Evaluating whether the Harding Boulevard entrance needs to be restricted, redesigned, or closed for school drop-off/pick-up purposes if the traffic cannot be contained safely on school property. * Reviewing the history of collisions and near-misses associated with this traffic pattern. * Developing a traffic-control solution that allows ordinary through traffic to continue safely without being forced into dangerous lane changes. At this point, I believe the City needs to stop treating this as a normal school traffic inconvenience and start treating it as the public safety issue that it is. A school should not be permitted to create a recurring traffic condition where drivers cannot safely use a public roadway simply because the school's drop-off and pick-up operation cannot contain its own traffic. I strongly urge the City of Roseville to investigate this situation before someone is seriously injured or killed. This entrance needs to be reevaluated, and if a safe solution cannot be implemented, the City should seriously consider shutting down or restricting this entrance for school drop-off and pick-up traffic. I would appreciate a written response explaining what the City intends to do to address this ongoing safety hazard. Sincerely, A concerned Roseville resident and driver
