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.

I've been in EJCHS since the 8th grade. Overall, I would have to say that my experience here is pretty good. For the most part, I've had really good teachers and the Administrators seem to have their priorities right. The counselors here are efficient and reliable when it comes to helping me prepare for college life/life after high school. I don't necessarily have a bunch of complaints, although sometime last school year (2022 - 2023 school year) there was an issue with the badges and it caused false lockdowns.. it caused a bunch of my fellow students to panic and I'd hope that it wouldn't happen anymore for the students that aren't graduating and the future EJCHS students.

I liked the people I met there and some of the teachers. I do wish, though, that the athletic teams, extracurriculars, and fine arts would be treated equally in terms of funding and attention from the school. Because it seems like most of the time, all you hear and see is football.

East Jackson is a very laid-back school with an easy-going student body. Our student body is composed of humble people because we all come from humble backgrounds. No one is above the other, and it shows.
