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.

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

As a 2023 alum and a high-achieving student, Jackson Senior High School gave me a great overall high school experience. There were lots of opportunities and great support.

I've loved going to Jackson High School. Some of the best parts of my experience have been meeting new people and growing a connection with our teachers. Some of the worst experiences have been that they don't have many food options for food allergies and that is definitely something that I would like to see improved

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.

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!
