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.

Jones County High School was an overall pleasant experience. I made a lot of friends, learned a lot about math and history, and I was able to take a mythology class which I'd wanted for a while. My favorite and most chaotic class was Forensics.

I have gone there my entire high school career. Certain things the school does not know how to handle appropriately; however, the student organizations and extracurricular activities excel.

My freshman year was absolutely horrible. I got sick and wasn't able to go to school during the second semester, and out of seven my teacher two of them were considerate of the situation. The other five teachers send me loads of work and didn't even put them in the grade book, they put every piece of work I did in as missing which is equivalent to a zero. My sophomore year was pretty decent, I only had a problem with one teacher. She was a horrible teacher and she would never let me use the restroom when I asked to go.

On the other hand I was very far behind the curve in Literature and Science, compared to my peers. But High School is not all a...

My children have learned that they can do nothing for seven weeks and then get caught up just before the grading period ends. I have seen their grades jump fro...
