Overall Jonathan is a great school with good teachers and administration. My daughter always did well in her classes. And most of the teachers were very involved with her classes. She was also a cheerleader for four years, which finally because a sport for the school this year. I would like to see the school offer more clubs for students to choose from.

My experience as a student at Johnathan Law High School was positive overall as I felt supported by the majority of my teachers when it came to any extra help I needed with assignments, or the college application process. The school community is also positive as there are many activities that allow students to get involved in their school community, and build school spirit.
