John Jay has a lot of great teachers, clubs, and class options. Pretty safe and has the best robotics ecs ever tbh.

I love John Jay they put a lot of money toward clubs, the theater department, and sports. Some teachers are not the best and constantly contradict themselves but it's made up for by the amazing teachers we have. The main complaint I have about my school is the lack of support for mental health. It's very difficult to get help and the school had one assembly to placate us and then moved on

Though the school struggles with a lack of diversity, it did offer very good courses and lots of resources for college.

If you enjoy a place where the students drive nicer cars than their teachers, cliches from hell, a 95% white demographic and encourages a stress level that isn't even seen by Harvard, then JJHS is the place for you!

yes the school has high test scores but thats only because you spend everyday practicing for the test and not talking the necessary time to really learn the information because a the end of the day higher test scores mean more money for them
