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.

I think the best part of jenks high school is the sports and academic readiness . The teachers and coaches make sure you're ready to progress . The worst part is when you fall behind its hard to catch up because their curriculum is so fast. I think Jenks high school is a great high school for parents to put their kids in that want them to succeed . They also have an alternative center made for people that have trouble in school and help them to learn at a slower pace , Another good thing about the alternative is that you can transfer into their if you just genuinely wanted to graduate early . It is also super beneficial if you're looking to get your credits back.

Jenks high school is an amazing school. We have lots and lots of clubs for whatever you are into. The teachers for the most part are really nice and help out a lot.

Jenks is considerably one of the best public schools in Oklahoma. I believe this as well, because of the resources and opportunity's that were provided to me starting at a very young age. I think I am lucky to have been able to grow up in a school system that truly cares about their students. Jenks made me feel safe and surrounded with love. They gave me place to feel at home. They have staff that shows up everyday wanting to impact their students. They gave me a soccer team that felt like family and an education to put me anywhere I wanted to be. Jenks is a one in a million school.

Too much administrative politics, and too much emphasis on a state-wide Advanced Placement Program that doesn't serve kids needs in the end. Teachers are caring, but appropriateness for curriculum content completely misses the mark for what a high schooler needs to enter the workforce. To much hollo...

Terrible experience, and the priority at Jenks High School is politics, not the best interest of students. During the past two years literally hundreds of students including my two children were negatively impacted by Covid. Funds were not properly used at Jenks to help students recover from lost cl...

Jenks Public Schools is the epitome of mediocrity. At the elementary level, students are not taught phoneme awareness, letter formation, phonics, spelling, meaningful word parts, and comprehension; students are not able to read at grade level unless parents/guardians are able to teach proper reading...

Our five kids graduated from Jenks High School and had a really good experience. They were well prepared for college and benefitted from the diverse range of classes and activities offered. No school is perfect, but we were very pleased with their overall experience and education.
