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 disliked it. If your parents worked at the school, you were automatically favored and got all of the scholarships you wanted when graduation rolled around. I had the highest GPA and worked my entire high-school career to be valedictorian and did not receive it, which was incredibly disappointing. The school has a lot of bullying that isn't resolved, and has had many bad teachers.

As a prior student at JCS, I have to admit this school sets the students up for success! Most students have the opportunity to play 3-4 sports, participate in chorus, band and jazz band, develop leadership skills as a class officer or student body officer and much more. My peers have become engineer...
