Overall, I really loved John Jay and felt very involved in the community there. The biggest change I'd like to see is more funding for the arts. I think that it is very underrepresented at John Jay and should be given more attention.

It's good, really good sports here. Theres a good plaza next door, so it makes up for the food at the cafeteria.

The teachers are dedicated and very approachable. My daughter was a high achiever in a different school district, but with great...

If you enjoy a place where the students drive nicer cars than their teachers, cliches from hell, a 95% white demographic and encourages a stress level that isn't even seen by Harvard, then JJHS is the place for you!

yes the school has high test scores but thats only because you spend everyday practicing for the test and not talking the necessary time to really learn the information because a the end of the day higher test scores mean more money for them
