From the stand point of a student, I see that the school itself has a lot of potential to grow in to the school many want it to be. Many if not, all the teachers wish nothing but the best for their student and see their worth. On the other hand, student don't seem to value their hard work or see the need to progress and become better for later encounters. For myself, as both a student and observer, I feel and understand their sluggish disposition but the teachers are pushing the students to a future many have yet to see or realize.

Its a school that has a lot of problems but there's not much the school it's can do. Jim Hill has a lot of social activities and the course work is okay. Only thing is the late opportunities, they give you something, for example a program flyer but the program start s or stops applications the next day I don't know it this is one their part but overall it's a good school

The best part about attending Jim Hill was make friends and becoming a drum major for the best high school in Jackson Mississippi. The worst part about attending Jim Hill would be maybe losing teachers and students.
