When I was a student at Jennings High School, the staff was very interactive and understanding. The team motivates you to become successful in life. The worst part is when students interrupt the class. The whole course must be detained and late for their next class.

One thing I would like to see change in is the amount of focus on the students more than anything. It isn't bad but it could be better than what it is.

This school lacks diversity as do most of the heavily populated areas of all black students. Their discipline tactics are horrific and leave the students feeling like failures. (The ones who want to learn).
