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.

Bob Jones is a great school, most of the teachers are incredibly nice and they are very accommodating. However the bathrooms could be a little cleaner and the water pressure in the sinks needs to be fixed.

I have loved my four years at Bob Jones. It is full of opportunities, has great teachers, and plenty of involved students, in my experience. Almost everyone is committed to making Bob Jones the best place it can be, maintaining its high reputation. Even as they crack down on things like cell phones and tardiness, I wouldn't choose any other high school. I'm lucky to attend Bob Jones.

Bob Jones High School is a great high school. There were many resources and classes for all of the students to take to learn what their interest were to prepare them for the future. It also had a College and Career Center to help students know their options for after graduation. One thing that Bob Jones could have implemented was a mental health department to help students that are struggling with that.

Bob Jones is one of a kind! I went to this school all four years, and it was the best four years of my life. The teachers go above and beyond for their students along with all faculty members. The student body is very welcoming and makes sure everyone has a voice! Sports are excellent all around the...
