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.

Before I came to jtown I will be honest I thought I wasn't going to love it, but as soon as I was done with my freshman year, first semester I fell in love with town, I joined so many clubs and tried my best to be very involved with school my and community, jtown is like a family and I love my family, i honestly wish I could never leave because the memories I've made here are wonderful but now im looking for a college so I can extend the memories.
