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.

Jenison High School is a great school district, it lacks in being an athletic school but thrives in its arts and music. I would know I was apart of the Jenison Marching band for five years, winning state all five years. Truly that was the best experience I had all of High school, I made great friends that will stay with me for life. As well as I have learned responsibility and leadership that will make me further grow as a student and as a person of the future.

I would like to see a school that is more welcoming to diverse students and has better communication with students about issues, deadlines, and other important information.

My experience here was very good. There were some things I would change including Advisory times and some of the choices the school has made. I love majority of the teachers I had had throughout my time here. I wish I could see some changes within the science department and help make those classes a little less challenging. Overall my experience here has been great and I learned lots of things.

The weak leadership starting with the superintend who only cares about hiding problems and looking good while letting coach’s/teachers with bad behavior play mind games with kids. They...

As a prior student of Jenison high I would give them a 2 out of 5. There are some cool teachers there and some bad teachers, same goes for management. I did learn quite a bit, but there is very strong favoritism towards the wealthy. EX: I was used as an example of white moving outwards to suburbs (I...
