GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Jackson High School, like any school is what you make of it. If you want to challenge yourself and take AP classes, those are available. If you want to slide by in the middle and maintain mediocrity, that is available for you also. If you are looking for a diverse system with teachers that genuinely care for your child as a whole, not just as another student in their class, you can find it here, at Jackson High.

I liked being a student and having the academic opportunities presented to me. I was not socialized properly as a student.
