I have enjoyed my high school experience at JHS. The staff is super friendly and helpful for the most part. There are several resources and opportunities for success. However, they have suddenly implemented several new standards that have made the last few weeks of my senior year very hard to enjoy. Looking past the new additions, though, JHS is a great school and I am glad I transferred.

The best part about attending JHS is the teachers. They are so helpful and want to see you succeed. The worst part about attending JHS is how packed it is with students. If I could change anything I would give the students 10 minutes to get to class .

The Academies at Jonesboro High School provides great assistance as many 10th-12th graders prepare for college. There are Career Coaches, along with excellent principals who can help prepare you for college, careers, and life itself. The school cares about preparing you for your future more than anything else.
