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.

Overall I feel Jimtown High School strives to give their students an ideal high school experience. The students. however, are not always receptive of those efforts. I feel as though Jimtown High School needs to create a better way to effectively discipline the students in order to enhance the experience for all students.

The small school allows you to get close with teachers and make many friends. I have been going to Jimtown my whole life and I have known most of my graduating class since kindergarten. You will most likely get a repeat of teachers in high school which allows you to make closer bonds with your mentors.

I've attended Jimtown since kindergarten and it has been a great experience. Everyone knows everyone so you get the small school experience. The school spirit has made going to school a little better. The teachers really care about the students and the atmosphere of Jimtown.

Not a good school if you're looking for an education. Maybe in the future, with newer courses added, it would be worth looking into but until then, might want to look somewhere else.
