Jefferson Davis/ Johnson Abernathy Gratz High School is ranked 2nd to last in the district and for good reason at that. The building is falling apart the teachers (when they show up) rarely teach and only give grades to fill a quota

Jefferson Davis is a overall, 8/10 school. Most of the teachers are understanding and relatable. The food is terrible but the band and arts are a good addition to the school. The academic environment good if you put in the work.

Worst school in the county. Teachers, asst principals, and the principal do not have the interest of the students at heart. Their main agenda is to suspend; for everything. If you can afford a private school or have the ability to homeschool please RUN, not walk from this place!!!

This school should be closed down. The teachers teach directly from the book and have no idea what they're doing.
