Very bad. No homework sent home ever. Counselors are hard to reach and when you do, you’re told ten different things. They don’t even know the proper entrance exams (SAT/ACT) accepted by the Colleges our son wants to attend. Told us the wrong information. Does not help the students prepare for SAT/A...

This school has given my daughter plenty of opportunity. She is in dual enrollment and is only in the 10th grade. I am grateful for the teachers and the countless at Jackson High.
