4.0 Senior

1/6/2026

I have loved my time here. It was hard at first to adjust to high school life, but teachers helped a lot. This is a very sports focused school, and I am not a sporty kid. However, there is a ton of other things to get involved in. Teachers are accessible and ready to help.

John Jay is a lovely school filled with extremely accepting people and extremely talented teachers. Although our football team may not be the best, I have always felt welcome. The school's sustainability is the only problem I have with it.

My experience has fluctuated at John Jay. I've felt academically successful, comfortable, social, and included while also feeling left out, depressed, isolated, anxious, and even a failure at times. Through all I have experienced there, it has been quite a journey and it's safe to say I am happily ready to take the next step into the real world once I graduate.

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
