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 want to go to school to learn and have fun, but I also want to feel safe. I don't feel safe here and I don't know what goes on here but I've witnessed vaping, alcohol use, and lots of fights. People are rude here and teachers do absolutely nothing about bullying. But what can you expect from a public school? I would recommend trying to find a cheap private school because public school sucks.

Overall a good school and most of the teachers are nice but there are also some mean ones. The dress code is strict and they hate it when you are loud so you get yelled at.

It is a good school and most of the teachers are nice, but the dress code is strict and the food is bad. They do have microwaves though so that is nice.

I recently started at Jouett, and I really liked my experience there. They are actually in the top 5% of schools in the nation, I'm not sure why they're 4/10.

My daughter attended JJMS several years ago and my son attends now. It is a large, very diverse school so there are many academic and social opportunities. Ms. Baylor, the principal, runs the school like a watch and recruits the best teachers for the school. For the most part teachers are excellent....
