The magnificence of the Jackson Preparatory School is spread over 84 acres of land close to Lakeland Drive. The space is put to good use as the school boasts beautiful architecture and sports fields. The exterior and interior designs show quality taste, and this taste is clearly shown in the curriculum with which their students are developed and prepared for college.
Founded in 1970, the school now has about 700 students enrolled across fifth to twelfth grades. With an 85-member faculty, students are well catered for in terms of diverse subjects including languages, ancient cultures, chemistry, biology, the arts and more. Some of these subjects are presented as electives to speak to the interests of the scholars. The academic, athletic and artistic performances of enrollees at “Prep”, as it is fondly called, have been noteworthy over the years. From prestigious college scholarships, recurrent championship title holders and constant MAIS All Sports Awards winners to show choirs drawing people from far and near, the faculty and the provision of needed equipment and infrastructure contribute to the success of Prep's students.
Programs like the Global Leadership Institute and the voluntary community service are initiatives of Jackson Preparatory School that, in addition to academic achievements, assure graduates of the school leave with enviable resumes and portfolios. Students also have a wide array of extracurricular activities to get involved in including the school newspaper, literary magazine and fine art and science clubs.

I love Jackson Preparatory because they offer many activities and places for different people to fit in.

I loved my experience at Jackson Prep. The best part was the teachers and counselors that were provided to us that were there to help us with anything that we needed. The worst part was the food provided.
1/6/2024
Prepared students for college and the outside world. Pushes students to a whole different level that can cause issues, but ensures students that when they leave, they are ready for life.

Jackson Prep does absolutely nothing to stop bullying, this further ads to the adults these kids turn into. Is it ok to sexually harass? NO! Did the administration do anything? NO

I am all for a rigorous program, but not to the extent where there is a lot of overload work unnecessarily especially when it's used to manipulate grades that effect "some students". Some of the teachers were no...

My daughter is currently a senior and will be graduating in a week. We have been at Prep for seven years - we started in sixth grade. This school is a wonderful place to send your children. We have grown to love the kids and their parents. The curriculum is tough and 4.0 + grade point averages are n...
