I have been a parent at JHS for the last four years. I never had any complaints. My student enjoyed going to school and his teachers.

The school itself is okay but it could be better in some ways. There's not many teachers that seem like they really care for their students and don't really want to help them. They kind of just do their job at the bare minimum.

What is great about Jarrell High School is the theater program. However, the school lacks in authority, and attendance

Overall, bad ! They have no organization. The teachers don't help struggling students. Kids vape every where and no one does anything. I could go on and on . But don't move to Jarrell and definitely don't choose Jarrell schools
