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.

My experience at Jordan High School was excellent for the most part. I was fortunate to have great teachers throughout my 4 years attending. The counselors were really great and truly cared about all of the students. However, I did struggle when it came to fitting in with some of the other students. I unfortunately ran into my fair share of people who tried bullying me, gossiping etc. Despite this, I met great people and overall I enjoyed my high school experience.
