This will be my first year goin there and so far everyone (mainly the staff) had attitudes towards us since we came from clay-chalkville high school and Bessemer city high school. Besides that everyone else was alright.

My overall experience at jo is ok because at the school we're basically doing the thing every single day we go to school and I feel like nothing has changed a bit.

My experience has been better than middle school. I have had an opportunity to pull my GPA up. The school does need some improvement and money to be able to more things. Our school environment is in poor condition as well. The criteria we teach on will sometime not prep us for ACT or knowledge on ACT.
