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.

The school is getting better. There is a lot of drama, but it is over fast. Nobody hates anyone truly, and it's not heavily hateful.

The teachers are good. The teachers change every year. The school has limited sports and classes. Also the school has a good learning environment.

My experience at Jonesboro-Hodge High School was very poor. This school has most of their minds on what we are wearing and what we look like. Most of the teachers do not bother to teach, especially if you're a senior and it's most critical. The football team is worshipped. There is no care for the students who are into art and music.
