Jackson High School Reviews
Rating 4.07 out of 5 369 reviews
Jackson High School is a fantastic school, when I first got there my sophomore year I was welcomed with open arms from the cross country team. Jackson also has a nice selection of career and technical classes, I am in the horticulture program right now and it has been wonderful. The teachers work and adapt to the people in the classroom and it makes class more engaging and easier to understand. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my time at Jackson High School.
My time at JHS wasn't always the best but overall it is a great school. As with many schools, the people often leave much to desire, but the programs and teachers make up for it. Jackson offers a lot of classes and teachers and counselors are happy to help you get into any class you want! There are many clubs and activities as well as a great sports community to participate in and I've enjoyed trying many of them. I think, at times, Jackson had its faults in handling situations and I wish teachers and staff were even more proactive about dealing with them. But given many circumstances, they often did their best to make sure their students were safe. Jackson does need to work on its control of bullying and discrimination. Even if there isn't much they can do, there is always something, even if it's small, that can help the situation. I would definitely recommend Jackson because, despite its fault, there is so much that is offered along with a community that cares.
The best parts of my high school experience have been some of the amazing teachers I have had. On the negative side, I have also had teachers that did not care about their students success in the class.
