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've only been a student in the district for 4 years now, starting in my freshman year, and I have to say that it is a very accepting place. The faculty and teachers are wonderful people with the best in mind for their students. I do wish, however, that our art programs and performances would be a little more funded and not so sparse. Having to fight tooth and nail for new band uniforms after they turned 20 years old was a fight for sure.

Not great. If you like small towns and are used to that mentality of 'that's how we did it in my day's then you will like it. If you are looking for a higher standard of learning with at least a few of the options offered in larger districts, don't bother. Jordan is basically stuck in a time warp, w...

For a small town school, this has everything. My children have been able to take advantage of sports and fine arts. Their fine arts programs are awesome. They have may College in the Schools courses so students can earn college credits without even leaving the building. I also appreciate that all th...
