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.

JTSD is awesome. This is our first year. My son is in 4th grade and I have never seen him happier in school! Administration and teachers are engaged, approachable, willing to listen to any ideas or concerns.

My child has been at jtsd since it became a magnet school, I must say I am thoroughly impressed. From the teachers to fellow students, everything is wonderful. My child is learning so fast and with cutting edge curriculum to technology based learning, I couldn't be happier.
