J.H.S. 216 George J. Ryan

Best middle school in the area. Awesome staff. Love the diversity of students, teachers and staff. They really care about the kids getting better, they help them improve. It’s crowded, unfortunately it’s not that big. But they keep it organize, and safe. So happy my kids go to this school.

This school is amazing! The first priority in this school is safety. The teachers are really nice and they work really hard to make their children succeed. This school has a variety of after school programs and this is a benefit to other students. The principal and assisant principals are very caring and they make sure that the students at George J. Ryan are safe. Anyone who is at this school are very lucky because this school is like home and it is the best!

This school is really great. The teachers try their best to get the students a high grade. There is also after school programs that help student that has a little lower grade than others. There is also after school programs for fun activities including GEMS which is an after school for people that are good at math so they let them have a good time. This school has the nicest teachers and the best students. I admit there are some students that are a little mean but if you just don't care what they say then they will leave you alone. But this school is the greatest school I ever have been in. If you are trying to pick a good school you might be looking at the right one. The teachers didn't tell us to write this, we wrote this from our own heart. If you worry you are too far away from the school, the school gives school buses and also free metro cards if u would like to go on a city bus. Don't think they will give you free metro cards only is 6th grade. They give you metro cards every year until 8th grade, but yes the school buses are only for 6th graders. There are some bus stops like Q30 and Q 31, There is also Q17 and much more if you search for them.

Great rigorous curriculum! I went here from 7-9th grade and had the best experience! They offered so many different courses and at my time 2000-2004, myself and my friends went on to great careers in diverse specialities! New renovations look great

The best school I know!! Its to much work but it pays off!!! All the teachers are so nice and easy to talk to! You will be fine making friends here! Totally recommend this school for incoming 6,7 or 8th graders.
