It was honestly very calm. The teachers were straightforward about getting work done and always focused on following the criteria. I did not really do any extra activities, but I got my work done, and that's all I was really worried about. I would say the worst part was that nothing interesting really happened; it was more or less the same thing every day. Other than that, it was a nice experience.

Being a high school student at Jenkins High School is a good experience. You can make a lot of friends honestly there and especially much more friends if you're an athlete. All the teachers are amazing and very fun to get along with. But the only thing I would change is having more dress downs and having more student activities. Other then that, It's a great experience there.

They are doing a fabulous job with remodeling this High School and it looks great. The school is very secular and I'm not sure if they get the highest testing ratings that they could get.

I am super excited and proud to be working with the faculty.Half of the problem that kids have is that their parents don't get involved. This faculty is on top of it!
