I would say the best part about jim hill is the school spirit. No matter what happens jim hill is always confident. The worst thing about jim hill is probably the school building, it sometimes contains rats and insects. I would like to see the school clean.

Jim hill is a very family friendly environment,like it does homecoming like no other aluminum come and support at all the games ,the football team need better guidance,the teachers need better structure,and some teachers are very rude to students just because they are above them ,administrators just let things escalate,in order for something to be done they wait till parents come up to the school complaining instead of fixing the situation,some teachers at safe havens for children like me ,the safety is low because we are in a dangerous area and kids bring guns to school,they gamble in the bathrooms, they smoke weed , . Children are comfortable fighting , the teachers are very messy and egg on the situations ,gym teachers give semester grade F's for missing one day or dressing out or wearing gym clothes ,The male custodian is to comfortable saying certain things to high schoolers,

I attended Jim Hill from my freshman to senior years. Every year, I've had great teachers. But of course, there have always been 1 or 2 that just seem like they're there to get paid and that's it. Other than that, I enjoyed my time there.
