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 had a very mixed experience with Jones County High School. A lot of my teachers were helpful but I feel like certain aspects could have been better.

Jones County High School offers many dual enrollment programs for the students. These programs have helped many students achieve their goals. So much so that many of the students not only come out with college credits but also readiness in the field they want to go into after high school. They also have the chances to talk employers who are willing to hire them while still in high school.
