My overall experience at the Jenison High School has been really good. I participate in both Orchestra and Band and got to March in the New York Macy's Thanksgiving day parade.

Jenison high school has always been a good school to be at and has been a safe and comfortable environment for students. I think that jenison could improve by creating a better community environment and making the school more open and diverse in students and extracurriculars. I do believe that Jenison High School attempts to make us prepared for college with AP classes and difficult curriculum. I think that they could give more clarification and more encouragement for taking complicated classes and supporting students academically and emotionally. Overall mental health and social support could be improved but Jenison makes their best effort to support their students any way they can.

My overall school experience was okay. The teachers did their best, but some students often refused to work and would mess around a lot, which prolonged classes. However, we would push to get everything done before time was up. A lot of students would hang out in their groups, and sometimes they would exclude others or push them away. The school staff are trying to encourage everyone to be more inclusive and kind.

BEWARE!!! This school is full racism, bulling and politics. Many families have left the district for these reasons. The weak leadership starting with the superintend who only cares about hiding problems and looking good while letting coach’s/teachers with bad behavior play mind games with kids. They...

As a prior student of Jenison high I would give them a 2 out of 5. There are some cool teachers there and some bad teachers, same goes for management. I did learn quite a bit, but there is very strong favoritism towards the wealthy. EX: I was used as an example of white moving outwards to suburbs (I...
