GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I really liked Jackson, I made a lot of friends along the way and learned everything that I know today. Jackson helped me find a nice job. I started off as an associate and worked my way up to a supervisor position. Jackson helped me find out what I want to do in life, which is become a veterinarian technician at Sinclair community college. Although Jackson helped me find my way in life, there were some downsides like being pushed to your breaking point or being bullied into something that you didn't want. But I think all that help me be the person who I am today. It definitely shaped who I am as a person.

Jackson High School is a very nice school, good teachers and very good learning materials. Dress code needs to change but other than that it is a very good school.
