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.

Jackson is a great school to receive a great education and provides each student with an equal opportunity and make their school experience how they want it.

I have extremely enjoyed my time at Jackson high school. Jackson's clubs and groups are amazing. I am a member of the Marching band, the JAGS program, Mock trial, women's initiative club, FGNow, 4U, and Fellowship of christian students. All of these clubs are absolutely great. Even As a freshman I was accepted and supported in everything, I was given great guidance and advice

I always liked the sense of community and how welcoming everyone always was to me. I came to this school halfway through my high school experience and it's definitely made these last two years wonderful. All of the people here are intelligent and interesting, all of the teachers know what they teach and how to teach it well, and the music and arts program is supported to a degree that I sadly see less and less of. I cannot imagine a better place to start and finish high school in.

This school district caters to the wealthy and privileged student. Not our cup of tea. The kids from average income homes can expect bullying. My grandson was treated terribly for not being from a "professional" father/mother. Teachers not responsive to the way some kids are treated.

We moved to Jackson specifically for the reputation of the schools and I can say having sent two kids through the district and a third still there, the reputation we heard about has far exceeded our expectations. Caring teachers, administrators who lead and set the tone for others, community that ca...

Great, the teachers are supportive, there is a good arts program, they offer career tech programs to help you succeed in college and/or a future job. As for mentally disabled students they offer specialized classes iep and 504 programs, and even job training.
