If I were to explain high school I would say it is heaven and hell, a wonderful experience and a haunting nightmare. The best of both worlds. The peak of popularity and low of self-esteem. The building of character, at the expense of confidence. Kill or be killed might be dramatic but so are teenagers. The American dream some might say...high school. It might be hasty to say im loving Senior year so far but my high school experience overall has been good. I wake up far too early for my liking but I get to spend all day with my friends. I love my life being on a schedule and school provides that structure. I hope this was positive because I truly do enjoy high school. However, I don't believe something can really be good if there isn't some bad. So, I provided the pros and cons of high school, the "heaven" and the "hell" of the experience. The good tops the bad by far for me, though, and that's all that matters.

The best experience I've had at Jackson Senior High is meeting new friends, because of Jackson Senior High I have the best people in my life who have changed my life for the better. The worst experience that I've had at Jackson Senior High is with some teachers at the school. Many teachers have stopped caring about teaching or don't put in enough effort for the students.

If you care about football and being popular it's a great school. If you are there for the arts or music please go anywhere else this school doesn't care for anything other than football if you can't tell by the $14 million football field. Being a regular student at this school was lack luster they care more about catching kids vaping the the bathrooms than anything else really. The administration is downright none existent for the students who get harassed or groped. Overall if you care about your kids education Jackson is ok but if you care about their mental health Jackson sucks

Ineffective leadership which promotes bullying, racism, and discrimination of children of color and with any type of disability. If your child has an IEP find another school as you will not be supported on any level.

This school is horrible if you are a person with an IEP. This school removed child’s IEP and refused to provide anyasssitnace. Instead they placed chil in Alt. School as a way to ignore the IEP requirements. Furthermore if you are a person of color forget about being treated fair in this district. I...

The teachers and staff are extremely dedicated to the growth and progression of students. I attended Jackson Schools from 1-12th Grade and have nothing but praise for the district. New, forward thinking administration has helped tremendously!
