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.

This school has given me academic and physical support while there. The superintendent is very caring and makes sure he is there to support all the children from elementary to high school. The high school prepared us to enter college. There were many programs to do so.

Jennings Senior High School is a wonderful school. Most of the teachers are encouraging and loving. Also the one thing that brings everyone together is sports and that sounds crazy but it makes a better environment in the classrooms.

Coming into High school I was afraid, but with the administration staff it helped a lot with that. I faced a lot of difficulties through my years but my teachers, peers, and my principals gave me words of encouragement and helped me to get through those obstacles. The school as a whole is a great environment and have great resources. It's a awesome place to learn, all the teachers know exactly how to help. They make sure they give one on one help. the teachers aren't only here to teach but they're a good support system to all of us as a whole. they your years enjoyable and fun and make sure that through your learning experience not only that you have room to grow but also to make sure you have fun. I'll recommend going to Jennings High school any day.

This school lacks diversity as do most of the heavily populated areas of all black students. Their discipline tactics are horrific and leave the students feeling like failures. (The ones who want to learn).
